Site Feedback

I'm the first to say I'm not very tech savvy so it's possible the answers to the following are right in front of my face and I just don't recognize them. Got onto the redesigned site early tonight and am starting to get the hang of it. But there are two things I can't find that I found easily...

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't figure out how to add embedded images without the image being from a remote URL. Is there a way to upload images into a post and have those images show up inline instead of as attachments?

Thread title says it all.

Trying to organize a thread for people to share their feedback on the new forum design.

Hi everyone. We appreciate and welcome constructive criticism on the new design, interface and functionality. We've worked hard on this and know that there is a lot more still to do. What we have now is a work in progress and we are well aware of, and are working on filling, many of the...

We'll be going down for planned maintenance tonight 2016/3/12 at 8pm PST (2016/3/13 at 4am UTC). If all goes well, we'll be back up by Monday morning. During most of the "down" period we'll have a read-only version of TMC up, so you should be able to browse but not post. Cheers!

Would love it if there was a chat box option where we can chat with fellow members who are currently on the site. :D

I am getting a rather annoying Captia request when trying to post to the forums right now and I have no clue if this is something on the site's end or mine. It has gotten worse from just requiring me to click a box that says "I am not a robot" to also now requiring me to select images of...

Would seem that taking a page from Apple's forums, we should have Forum sections for software, irrespective of hardware. Now you have look in both Model S and in Model X sections to find discussion on current software versions.

Mods: There always seem to be multiple redundant threads about the same topic, and I for one didn't go through all the FAQs before reading and posting on the forum (my bad I know). I was wondering if there should be a fixed thread above the top-most thread ("News" I guess), stating: Before...

Is it possible to embed a YouTube and have the embedded player start mid-video? For instance, if you click this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVL4wKnpx2U&t=46 the video starts playing at 0:46, but if I use the embedded player by clicking on the "Insert Video" button and pasting the same...

Just thought I would put forth the idea of the header of this forum including the forum menu could be fixed at the top, so it would stay in position whilst scrolling down through posts.

Maybe it's just me but today I have been having problems with the Unread Post link on the forum thread pages. When I click it, it sends me to the top of the page where the unread post was, but not to the post itself. I am on Chrome, Win 7 64 bit, its up to date and I am logged in to TMC. I...

Hello, I am trying to edit my signature, but keep getting an "BB Font Error" Allow BB Font code is turned off. Thanks

I have seen this scenario happen over the past several months, and I think it needs to be addressed. I don't want to single out any moderator, because I've seen this happen with several mods, and because I realize that moderators are limited in the time they can spend moderating threads...

It has come to my attention that some of our well respected and talented forum members feel hindered by TMC rules and regulations applying to new product advertisement and sales. Case in point - the CAN logger discussion over in wk's thread. What exactly do these rules stipulate? IMO, if...

I rather not have my [first name] [last name] show up and would prefer to have a username like others. how do i change that?

So, I've maxed out the little rep meter thing a while back... I think by double the needed amount. Lots of people have left pretty cool messages in my rep and I have no way to go back and check them out beyond the latest 5. A couple times, like since making my little hacking thread, I've...

Dear Club, I am wondering what, if any, is our accepted way of expressing laughter. I've scoured the emoticons and found not it. Merci

Every time I try to read "What's New?" on my iPad (Safari browser) in a new window, I always get the "Sorry - no matches... try some other search terms" message. It's as if i have to wait for new responses to happen in real time before I can see anything. It's fine if I go to any of the...

How can I create a graph with bars and lines for graphical representation of data?

Hi - I posted to a thread in the Off Topic forum about the company LPP Fusion, and my post has not appeared. Is there some way I can find out what happened to it? Thanks! Bill

Since I can't send pics via PM, I thought I'd post them here for you, doug. vBulletin is doing something very strange in its page rendering / style code. Via Tapatalk, it looks just fine; but via any browser, it's cutting pieces out of lines that have greater-than signs... Here's what I...

I'm joined many forums over the years and this is by far one of the most ridiculous things I have seen. I have a member on here welcoming me and asking me questions about where I live as he visits here as well, and I cannot even respond back to him in a message he sent me, but once per hour...

Most of the time that I post it's using my phone. It works well except when you try to post a picture. So far I have only got 1 picture to post and I've tried many other times. Tell me it's just user error (My error).

Sometimes this happens (my previous post) and sometimes it doesn't (this post), but when it happens on my iPad (Air2, latest iOS) it is annoying. Basically I click in this text field, type one character, then my keyboard goes away. I click in the field a second time, type a second character...

Tried to create a new listing in the Tesla Parts for Sale section and got a 404 error on Panjo.

Why was this moved to a subforum? Then they wonder why this forum has a 'fanboy' reputation...

I keep getting 520 errors; just wanted to let the admins know 520 Unknown ErrorThis status code is not specified in any RFC and is returned by certain services, for instance Microsoft Azure and CloudFlare servers: "The 520 error is essentially a “catch-all” response for when the origin server...

Admins, thanks for the laugh on the site down video. Is there a direct link for viewing when the site is working properly?

My post on nav suggestion buried into model s user interphase but nav applies to more than model s Since X now out. No reason to post twice needs to be in a category that applies to s and X

I notice that the "what's new" link generally omits all the local forums, but for some reason it includes the "California Supercharger Locations" subforum which is part of "North America > California" Given that all local subforums are generally not part of the forum list, is this an accident...

Hey All, I just received a message from a mod that talking negative about Tesla on this forum creates a "toxic atmosphere" and my posts were moved / removed from the site. I have to ask, is it fair when someone is upset and frustrated with the quality of my car and also the service to censor...

I believe that autopilot is a large enough new category and feature and that will generate so much discussion that it might be worth giving it it's own sub-forum. Already we are seeing an overwhelming number of threads, some of them talking about similar stuff that could be much better organized...

Just wishing to put my view forward that the Gigafactory should perhaps have its own subforum or may be just be moved. Currently it's a sticky thread in 'Tesla Motors'. I seem to ignore sticky threads especially when there's many piled up on top of each other. I think, with the new Tesla Energy...

With all the traffic here it would be nice if an app existed to read messages on android!

I quite enjoy reading TMC threads. Highlights for me are threads in which the experts in their field contribute their thoughts and experiences. This morning I came across one of my highlight threads Dragtime P90D Ludicrous 0-60mph and 0-100mph video There was some interesting discussion...

Many times when I quote a post I begin typing and get four or five words into it and the cursor jumps to the line above (mid-word) and continues from the there so it then looks like this: ote a post Many times when I qu This has happened a handful of times (doesn't happen consistently) and...

Let me start by saying that I basically don't use Twitter, though I have an account, so I am very much unfamiliar with all things Twiiter. Last night, when the Livefeed of the X Event wasn't working, I installed periscope on my android phone, in an attempt to watch the event. I had some success...

In the lead up, and subsequently delayed, Model X reveal last night, TMC was repeatedly overloaded. The most crowded threads had as many as 4-5 times the number of guests as the numbers of members present. It was pretty annoying (and several others echoed this sentiment) that those of us who...

Want a telsa, can't afford, but could if I rent it out "telsa" Can we please get this particular misspelling auto-corrected or blocked-as-offensive-language?

For some reason, looks like all the old posts in the Tesla Parts for Sale forum are showing up as new posts from today even though they were posted months ago. It's clogging up my "What New?" feed with a bunch of posts that are not really new.

"timeout" means a short ban like 1 day first offense, then 3 days second offence, then 7 days third offense then 1 month ban. This was done at another forum I helped admin and it was very effective. There are a few people that are constantly being making personal attacks, negatively disrupting...

Bullying, harassment, arbitrary moderation & why some regular contributors leave I know in the recent past several well respected contributors to TMC have left this forum, stopped contributing, or decided to take a break from the forum and I wanted to share some feedback based on an experience...

For about a day now the forum is at times getting extremely slow to respond. Dozens of seconds to open a topic. Sometimes even timing out (or I get the html but not the css and get the nice 1992 style internet look). I am reasonably positive that the problem isn't on my end - 100Mb/s internet...

:biggrin: Sorry, mods can feel free to delete this without hurting my feelings but I really just couldn't help myself. - - - Updated - - - I voted for scary....

Members are sometimes extremely spoiled and act as lead weights to company. Let me give you two examples of recent issues 1. Roadster 3.0. Yes unexpected that 1.5 owners cannot upgrade. So claims here that roadster 1.5 cars are no longer supported. Nonsense. I believe that tesla was caught...

Not satisfied with "Tesla for Sale" thread. Howcum I can't just list my car. Panjo wants to take over. They will take all answers. Huh? I can't get it to post my information. Why? I can't contact the Admin of the thread. Why? It kicks me out. I will try again, but it's getting...

This is about the 50th time that I've typed a reply to a thread, then hit the REPLY TO THREAD button and seen my lovingly composed text vanish into the bit bucket, replaced by a new BLANK text field. Something needs to be done about this! Please!!

Typed up a fairly long trip report (and kept seeing Autosave happening) at the bottom of the page. When I went to preview, Chrome crashed. Any ideas if I can go back and find the "draft" that autosaved?
