not using chrome. I know some browsers can do it, but it should be an option on the actual forum. It was before the update.

 

i’m assuming this will be modified and is just a temp thing

maybe another option in browser settings to always use desktop sites.. maybe not... im sure it will be fixed soon

Don’t see any way to get off the mobile site, no button for full version anymore?

 

mobile version is actually pretty decent, but still missing information like people’s post counts, signatures, and the last poster of a thread. Will still use full site but don’t see a way to switch it.

I second this, I liked the ability to view the full website on my phone.

Ugh I hate change.  And this is a drastic one.

 

But I haven't noticed any 'problems' per say.  I haven't found My Subscriptions or the alternative yet, but I haven't dug very deep at all.

:confused:  Old format, I had a page and a half of threads that I was, and from what I have found from doing a lot of digging, still am, and the new format only shows the ones that I commented on this morning.  Also, I have started a few threads, and none of them are showing up in the "Content I Started," under "Activity."  :banghead:  Really a pain and time killer having to dig for threads that have the information about a problem or modification that I'm working on.  :mad:

Incredible you guys did not fix the media upload issue. It’s 2017, not only is a 1MB limit ridiculous, you don’t offer any way to resize the photo to fit. No modern phone takes photo’s at 1MB anymore, maybe 7-8 years ago. This by design does not allow us to upload photo’s from our phone unless we go through the pain in the butt process of resizing them. This is the only forum out of the dozen or so forums I subcribe to that does this. I’m dissapointed you did not address this in your forum refresh.

You've got a great point. Thanks for the feedback. We'll definitely be upping the limits. 

 

EDIT: How does a 5MB per image limit sound?

You can request the desktop version under settings in your mobile device and it should be served the full version.

Didn't work for Safari. I will download Chrome today and give it a shot.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll mark it as an issue to look into.

They are just doing it to save on the cost of server storage, which is fine even if it is way behind the times and not appropriate for the size and traffic of the forum; but....if you’re going to do that atleast have a system that resizes the image for you.

The new system does indeed resize images. I'm setting that up now. Your complaints should all be fixed by the end of the day.

Also, "My Gallery?"

 

Edit: NEVER MIND, found it, had to go dig thru my profile, no "shortcut," direct link, like old format.

awesome, that would be great

 

I see you already increased the max file size

 

impressive response time, thank you

We have to set up Tapatalk again. We will have that done tomorrow.

Thanks!  I was going to ask about this.  I tried multiple times and got errors.  Thought I would have locked my account out.

      Lets Talk Z60 Suspension

      By ryan35205 · Posted

      Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.

      OCI, not when but why?

      Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I just spent the last 45K miles doing samples every oil change over more than a full year to get the data for seasons and break-in to broke in.    I found the same thing to be true. Something was always teetering on done or had stepped off the cliff long before the OLM was DOA. In fact, I found about a thousand mile difference between summer and winter. That is during the winter half the OLM was STILL too long. Even the severe schedule was to long in the winter.   Now having done the work I can say I was NOT DISAPOINTED. I saw nothing I didn't already know. Nothing my father hadn't already demonstrated in his 2K OCI's pushing dated iron on dated oils and weak filters to mileages well beyond 300K.   Building on his work through use of Lab testing it wasn't hard to find the correlation between 'sight/feel/odor, the things dad relied on, and test results. Use of current viscosity stable chemistries & filters has pushed that marker for my motors out to 3K summer, 4K winter.    So the early lies were 3K on conventional oil and the lie upon the lie was 7K+. turns out to be off by a factor of two.    So... it is true that modern chemistry has doubled the useful oil life. But the base milage that came from was off by double. It's how good lies work. Partly true, sometimes mostly true so that your meter isn't set off. It also means that non-shear-stable shelf oils are only now as good as the old oils were in their best case scenario.    So the question now is how do we improve on that? Thus the question into cleanliness among the other items listed in the post quoted below.    If this bores you, feel free not to participate.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By newdude · Posted

      Is it though?  Like LTZ, not a high take rate.  Current Sierra has AT4, Denali and Elevation as its main bread winners.  Each trim accounting for 25-35% of sales for Sierra.  SLT makes up about 10-15% at best.        Like others have predicted here for GMC, it will be:   - Pro (equal to WT Chevy)   - Elevation (replaces SLE and SLT)   - AT4 (and X)   - Denali (and Ultimate).
