Site Feedback

When searching TMC I am not getting a lot of non-English posts, how do I filter these out so I never see them again? Thanks.

Can you add a little more space between the line with one's current location in the forum, and the advert box immediately below? I keep hitting the advert by accident on my iPad when I'm trying to go back a level or two within the forum. Guess my fingers are too fat....

I've seen other forms place the words "Thread Starter" under a persons name (in the leftmost pane), if the person starting a thread posts within the same thread. This can be quite useful when a thread starter chimes back in to answer questions or provide additional clarity.

Is there a setting I can modify on here that will resize posted photos to something that comes close to fitting on my screen and doesn't take forever to load? Not all of us has 50meg down speeds or a 42" monitor. I know I can right-click and select "view image", but a setting to fit a 1.7 meg...

As someone counting the days (15!) before I take delivery of my car at the factory, I've been spending way too much time on this site :wink: One frustration is that there is no modified view of TMC for smaller-screen devices like iPhones, iPads, etc... navigating TMC on an iPhone is clunky and...

I don't understand the reasoning behind moving road trip posts to the regional forums -- because they're pretty far from region-specific; most cross regions. And the general forum reader misses out on important information and stories around road tripping because who's gonna go look for those...

May I ask, what is your interest in Tesla Motors then, and why do you take so much time to describe fire risks in this one thread?

Notes from the Alaska Luddite..... :( recently, just about all, but not absolutely every, You Tube video (like the recent "REAL cause of most Tesla fires" one) show me a big black rectangle where the video should be....and nothing I can do seems to get around that. I have rounded up all the...

Just visited TMC this evening and got an "alert" a the top of the screen telling me something like Continued use of this site ... please acknowledge rules of use. Did everyone get this?

we all can point to those who have recently joined just to throw fuel on the fire threads or doubt on others. the site stated interest is for tesla enthusiasts not those with alternate goals. i would propose that posting be allowed to those who own the cars and or have at least reservations if...

How do I comment on blogs? Am I missing something obvious? Need a minimum post count?

Hey guys - Things get way too serious on this forum at times. It's a car forum, nothing more. Please try to remember that. I love hanging out with all of you. It's a great community with smart, opinionated people from a wide cross-section of life. I love that. I love that everyone cares...

I understand and appreciate that TMC has a very open format - it's one of the things that makes it great! But that openness comes with a downside. The media now uses TMC as a resource, often to ill effect, and there seems to be an increasing frequency of suspicious FUD comments from first-time...

Recently I have noticed through the grapevine on several occasions from May different people across the country who are members of TMC of some very strange new practices going into effect. TMC is yes a private group, but in my opinion should be the leader in fostering good will and promoting...

To help organize our marketplace section, TMC is using Panjo. TMC Marketplace Some benefits: Easy to post new items for sale. Drag and drop uploading of images (something I wish the rest of the forum had). Automatically creates a thread in the appropriate forum. Automatically adds "- Sold"...

I've used forum software for a very, very long time (2004) - the version of vBulletin that you're using dates back to 2006, the newer versions of vBulletin are not usable in my opinion (which is why I and many others have left vBulletin). I would love to see TMC move to something newer and...

:cursing:VERY disappointed TMC members can't post FS anymore so here is Tesla Forum link: FS SIG P85 autographed by Elon Musk | Forums | Tesla Motors

Hi folks. With the recent growth it's been a bit like the wild west here lately. For a long time there were just a few kind individuals selling specific items for our small niche market. However, that time has passed and we realize we're long overdue for some advertising policies. While the...

Who is in charge of this forum? - - - Updated - - - Please PM me. THX

Curious if it would be possible to make sub folders for the "For Sale" and "Parts For Sale" threads where the subfolder would be broken down into the Model, such as Roadster, Model-S, Model-"n", Model-"...". I'm afraid in time that legacy models will get buried in there by models that...

I suspect this has been brought up before but thought I would ask anyway. Why are there two options that essentially do the same thing? 1. What's New? 2. New Posts It would be very helpful to replace #2 with "New Threads".

With the recent high volume posts we've had, specifically the Fire thread and Short Term Stock Price thread, my new post email notifications seem to be extremely delayed, and then flood my email with old notifications. At the height of it I had over 80 email notifications, mostly to those two...

I don't know if this should be classified as "Site Feedback" because it is equally about the car. Over the years I have joined various Porsche, BMW and Mercedes web forums in anticipation of ultimately purchasing new vehicles. In those forums, I lurk and make occasional posts and learn a lot...

Dear TMC members TMC forums provides an excellent platform for Tesla enthusiasts to interact with each other and share ideas. The wealth of knowledge in TMC forums is unrivaled by any other Tesla related website. However that doesn't mean that we can't enhance the experience further. Recently...

I was in a PM conversation with a user and needed to send a clarifying PM, but his PM box is full. Will an admin send a PM beyond the limit on my behalf to clean up some PM's? I was kinda hoping I could drop an e-mail or some other form than a public post that he/she may or may not see.

Hi folks. Based on feedback from the moderators and other members, we've come up with some guidelines for post signatures. We appreciate and encourage the personalization that signatures provide. However, we'd like to make sure they don't detract from the core experience of the forum by being...

In the 'subscribed threads with new posts' listing under "settings", sometimes there is an extra icon to the right of the newest-unread arrow: I have seen a 'thumbs-up' icon in the past, and today I see a lightbulb. I haven't been able to work out what these mean, and the alt-text is just...

Just started seeing this weird vertical pop-up ad on TMC this evening. I'm a paid sponsor so usually never see any ads, which makes this all the more weird. Is this something anyone else is seeing, have I picked up malware that's doing it?

I just received an email notification that a private message has arrived. The PM was sent - and received - last Friday. Lost email message or maybe something is a little glitchy here?

How to add a topic on Road Trips?

Here is what I would like my signature to look like: Text Text Text Text Text Text Text . ONE PICTURE ++Text Text Text Text Text Text Text . THAT SPANS ++Text Text Text Text Text Text Text . THREE LINES This would be easy to do if I could get the 'table' to support 'rowspan'. But I can't...

I know this will be deleted but I would encourage posters to review posts removed to snappiness section. Most do not seem, in my opinion to belong there. Although this is destined to end up there, if we don't provide feedback we get what we deserve. I am grateful for the time moderators spend on...

How is it enabled? Thanks

1) Can't show newest thread first 2) For the SV group updates don't show in the the links on What's New or Latest posts. In order to find out anything new someone has to specifically go to group section, click thread, then page through to new stuff, which is not great for communication

This morning I am seeing banner ad after banner ad fom Koch's FreedomWorks "grass roots" organization pushing for this and that right-wing political crap. Why is TMC taking political ads, especially from the notorious Koch brothers?

So, when I click to reply and the cursor appears, the keyboard appears and immediately dismisses. Have tried changing settings but to no avail. And what worked on this box I'm typing in right now was to copy and paste this text in.

I have not been able to figure out a way to limit the "New Posts" search to just the sections I'm interested in. I don't really care about stock/options trading, Roadster info, etc. but many of the posts listed as new are related to those. edit: I figured it out. just do an empty search if the...

Is it possible that TMC becomes dual stack and supports both IPv4 and IPv6? The rollout of IPv6 is going pretty fast in Europe and Asia due to the lack of IPv4 which is still available. Since we are working on the future of transportation we might also want to work on the future of the...

I'm getting a strong impression (by web searches on this topic) that the forum should be encoding the special characters in thread titles and it's not. Please let's keep this thread on-topic about whether the "correct" behavior (as per URL specs) and making sure the forum is behaving...

Is it possible to click on a post (after logging in) and indicate approval of all or part of the post without replying "ditto", etc in a separate reply or post? Is it advisable to add a "Like" button, such as is available on fordcmaxenergiforum.com/?

Recently I've noticed some ads on the forum. I'm not a fan. But I understand that the site have bills to pay. Fair enough. However, I'm not sure Mercedes is targeting the right audience here. :rolleyes: Here is a snapshot: (Yes, I know this is a automatic service, and that Mercedes does...

Just a suggestion. It seems the forum has grown and is very active the days. I want to suggest a section where Mods can select high quality threads to be highlighted. There is so much to read here and I don't want to miss the best of the best. Other forums do this, seems like it would be good...

Currently if you load Tesla Motors Club - Enthusiasts & Owners Forum directly you'll get a database error message. You have to load a path like Tesla Motors Club - Enthusiasts & Owners Forum to get anywhere. - - - Updated - - - Ok... it was fixed immediately after I posted this :) Nothing...

After a certain number of posts? Or does an admin have to verify i'm not a spammer? - - - Updated - - -

Was driving me crazy as I couldn't read this thread: sleepyhead’s Q2 Earnings Preview on my Surface RT 8.1 and WP 7.5 Had to go to my trusty Netbook running rock solid Win7 and full IE10

Is there a forum for Tesla Service issues? It would be useful to have one, perhaps. Dealing with service is, at times, problematic. Help.

The Model S Technical/Mechanical Issues sticky thread now has almost 1800 posts in it. It is no longer possible to conduct any meaningful discussions about specific technical issues, nor is it possible to follow a thread of discussion about possible solutions or customer service interactions...

I need some help. Within every 30 minutes (or so) I get automatically logged out. How to fix that? How can I make sure that I don't get automatically logged out, if I don't want to log out myself?
