Site Feedback

There should be a Help button or at least an easily found link to instructions. I have been unable to post photos and cannot find instructions to do so. Searching for instructions did not work in a reasonable period of time. This type of thing is frustrating. It makes me feel as if I am in a...

I don't think I have ever successfully found what I wanted with a search in the new forum. Today I was looking for an article I posted a long time ago: Call me paranoid.... I searched for "Peter_M pool noodle" - pretty specific search terms that are in the post, but it produced no results. I...

Hi. I'm enjoying the forum. A few (hopefully) quick questions: 1) How do I add a profile picture? 2) How do I add a signature line item (e.g. car specs)? 3) Can you recommend a mobile application for Android to best view this forum? All the best, Greg

Hi, Can we please move THIS topic from off-topic section to a more appropriate section? Ryan's podcast is purely about Tesla. It shouldn't be in off-topic section. I reported this issue multiple times using the report button in forum messages but I guess these were lost somehow. Thanks Troy

Before the big upgrade I received daily emails when threads were created or updated in the Model S forums. This stopped working. I see where I can see my "watched forums" but I can't figure out how to add a watched forum.

After the update I can't seem to find any link to follow in order to donate to TMC. Where is it?

Sometimes when browsing the new TMC format, the banner controls (Mark Forums Read, Search Forums, Watched Forums, Watched Threads, New Posts, Wiki Posts) are not displayed. I think this is isolated to specific sections of the forum. The Model 3 main section is the primary place that I see this...

How about a section for Solar City? SCTY is often interesting to TSLA investors as the other public Musk company and it does have links to Tesla Motors. Tesla Energy batteries are sold through it. Solar City is part of the answer to critics concerns about charging with electricity from a dirty...

Maybe I missed this, but why doesn't the changelog resolve? It's still indexed by google. http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showwiki.php?title=Model+S+software+firmware+changelog [Admin note: The new link is here: Model S software/firmware changelog ]

In a similar change over that will be echoed in the physical world, there will "soon" (depending on delivery times) be many more Model 3 Tesla owners that Roadster, S & X owners. Heck, with almost 400K reservations there are a whole bunch of new Tesla folks who haven't discovered here yet. You...

The more I've posted, the more I've noticed I'm unable to edit posts after a day or so. It's not a big deal, but it is annoying because I tend to make mistakes and will correct them later. Can I just ping a mod with a list of corrections, or is there some kind of account setting I'm not aware of...

I'm currently looking at a message that says "TMC will be going down soon for maintenance. Expect to be back up ~20 minutes later." No problem, although one is left wondering when "soon" and "later" are. Usually if I do outage notices for services I manage, users find a message like "going...

Viewing Threads Grey thread title means no new posts. Black thread title + red dot means there are new posts. When viewing lists of threads outside of the "Watched Threads" list, a red bar on the left indicates a watched thread with unread posts. The red bar is omitted in "Watched Threads"...

Has anyone done this in the S or X?

Doug -- I'm all for ad supported sites (I run them myself), and I even click on a few. But this morning on my iPhone I was greeted with a popup ad (a new tab in Chrome) AND a javascript alert box on top of that. See image: Banner, box, and even skyscraper ads are fine.... but when it gets to...

I received a group invite and I'm unable to accept it. First, the word accept is not capitalized like reject. But then after accepting the (non-existing) TOS/rules for the group, nothing works.

Is it possible to have the ability to option out of monitoring a thread and being notified every time someone responds? Something like touching the eyeglass symbol and removing oneself from these notifications. Sometimes a thread becomes interesting but then gets taken over by some who choose...

Only option appears to be a URL.

I noticed some people like @Mark Z have sigs like this "This post contains data only for the use of the TMC or TM forums. Please PM for permission to copy or link outside the forums." Model X - Flawed or Flawless? has one of these. However, today I noticed that unless you're logged into "TMC"...

This is my first post—remember your first time? I apologize if my question seems inappropriate or has been addressed in a thread that I haven’t yet found. (Moderators: Please feel free to edit/move/delete my entry if necessary.) I’ve been reading these forums—a.k.a., lurking—for quite some...

in the prior version of the forum, you could click a button and see all new posts but only for those forums that you were "watching" or "subscribed to." I don't see that feature in this version of the forum. I have the same set of "watched forums" but clicking on the "Watched Forums" button...

We need all of them, best if individually done. Most may be to new Tesla owners now that Model 3 reservations are happening, but lots of them, like me, already have a Tesla in one country and are ordering another (others?) for use on other countries. Only new sub-fora will support all this. Please!

Can I change the hour format from pm/am system to 23:59 system?

I really enjoy the ability to get email alerts to the threads that I'm following. However it would be nice if I did not have to visit the site after in order to receive subsequent emails. I'm able to read the full post in my email, so what value is there in visiting the site in order to...

Some of you may have been seen a Tesla Model 3 specific website/forum which has appeared in the last couple of weeks. It has a *very* similar look and feel to the TMC forum. I won't post the URL here to avoid giving them traffic for now - I assume the TMC admins have seen it - but I was...

Using Google Chrome, and whenever I'm in a thread I am getting an unusual behavior. The thread/page seems to be "reloading" every second. I see the Google Chrome reload icon cycle back and forth between the circular arrow and the X literally every second. Functionally nothing seems to be...

I've tried posting a response to a thread three times now without success, so it's time to complain about something that used to be occasional but whose frequency has increased over time. Each time I tried to respond to a particular thread, I was given this error: What's more annoying about...

Never been a fan of animated gif on forums, before I start blocking them, is there anyway to disable them on this forums software?

When the site was down there was a temporary chatroom. Would the current forum software, or some addon, allow for there to be a chatroom open a bit before and during the event. I would think it would be a good alternative to a thread with a large number of chat-like postings. Just a thought. Or...

For a wonderful website. I happily made my first contribution, so can I now have the line that says "TMC is an independent, primarily volunteer organization that relies on ad revenue to cover its operating costs. Please consider whitelisting TMC on your ad blocker or making a Paypal contribution...

My favorite thread by far while waiting for my X has been the Tesla Moments thread which is in the Model S forum since before there were Model X and 3 sections. Now there is one in the X section and will probably be one in the 3 section before long. What do people think about having this one...

I tried posting a pic the other day with links from image shack and it wouldn't work. Can someone tell me the best way to post a pic here? Thanks!!

In another thread, Brianman posted the following: I'm not sure why he thought I'd be the better person to start this thread, but what the heck...the thread has been started. As @brianman requested, let's make sure to keep discussion in this thread limited to things that we as users can do...

OK, I have been drumming my fingers with the new TMC forum software now and the NEW POSTS function is the latest to get my IRE up.... Sure with you click NEW POSTS you get the latest NEW POSTS.... BUT... No idea as to which Forum the post is in or if your really care ..... I mean really...

Prior version of the forum had the ability to link TMC to RSS readers. I.e. Google Reader, Feedly, etc. This was really useful at giving a list of all new posted threads (not posts). Does anyone know if an RSS feed is available for the new site? It seems this is possible with the current...

Doh. Wanted to create a group for the Model 3 tracker volunteers/co-admins, but reached my capacity as it seems. Perhaps this could be bumped up by a few?

Prior to the new forum design, there was a group that covered Wisconsin. I posted a question regarding Appleton. I no longer find this group. What happened?

Recently (like today) when I browse TMC OpenDNS reports Malware from the domain: "x.skimresources.com" and this domain is in the source of TMC. Not sure if this is legitimately malware or not.

I used to click "Subscribed Forums" (or something similar) on the old VBB site and it would show a list of threads compiled from my subscribed forums, altogether. So I had the Model S forum, the Roadster forum, and it would show me all threads in those forums. I can't figure out how to do that...

Hi there, just now I tried to manage my "watched threads" because I'm not interested in some of them and don't like seeing them in my "watched threads" list. So I ticked the boxes next to them and choose not watch them. After I did this, all, including those I'm still interested, are gone and I...

Hey everyone. Worked fine last night but this morning very , very slow (only site that I’m accessing that is crawling). Directionally, new look is terrific but responsiveness is a big issue.....

Since the Search feature no longer has a since-last-visit criterion, currently in order to find all new posts in Model S and its five sub-forums, I have to separately open each of the six forums and visually scan. Right? I'm not overlooking an available feature?

Is there an app that can watch this forum? Taptalk had one that was somewhat limited in function but at least it worked. Thanks, Bob

Is there any way to color-code the status of subforums on the home page (red if new posts)? For instance, the "North American" forum gets a red dot if there are any new posts in that forum or any subforums (grey if no new posts). But the subforum icons are always black. I'd like those to...

Is there a way to see more than 10 pages of threads with new posts? I ran into this limit today. The amount of activity on this forum really requires more pages to see it all.

Is there a way to do a "new posts" but for watched forums only? Don't point me at alerts/emails (too noisy) -- I want to hit a link and have it show all the new posts in the forums I care about like I used to be able to do. Thanks!

Total: 805 (members: 165, guests: 491, robots: 149) I never noticed this before but today I see there are almost as many robots currently on TMC as there are members. Does anyone know what these robots are? Are there really that many bots crawling the site at any given time or are these robots...

With the new Forum Software I have suddenly lost all capability to edit my WiKi Model S Options by Year. Perhaps I am just not tech savvy enough but I just cannot figure out how to invoke edit. Second Issue: I used to have a link to the Wiki in my Signature. I had to remove it as it was...

Is there a dark theme for the site? The white is killing my eyes.

With the redesign, there's a bit of angst about screenspace usage and formatting. I figured it might be interesting to start a thread for people to share stylesheets. Instructions for application: For those using Internet Explorer... Internet Options General Accessibility User stylesheet...
