I am fairly competent when it comes to accessing online fora.  However, this site has me scratching my head and I need help, understanding and/or advice.

 

FIRST -  I have left msgs for the forum administrators, and have not received a single response.  Why not?  Are there any active forum administrators?  How may they be contacted?

 

SECOND - When I select the 1999-2013 Silverado & Sierra 1500 forum and request to be shown Unread Content, I get posts form any and all available fora on the site; e.g., 2024 Duramax.  What is this about?  Is there a way to read only new posts in the 1999-2013 Silverado & Sierra 1500 forum (and sub-fora)?

 

THIRD -  I have no means of logging off the site when I have finished reading/posting.  Clicking on the LOG OFF  button does absolutely nothing!  How does one log off when done?

 

At least for me, navigating here is not straight foward, simple, intuitive or convenient.  If I am doing something wrong, please tell me what.  If it matters, my computer OS is Win10; though that should not make a difference.  I would really appreciate any guidance that can be offered.  Thanks!

To log out you should click your name in the upper right corner and click Sign Out.  As for why other forums are showing up in "Notifications (the bell)"  I have no idea.  All mine are strictly in this forum, 99-2013

I am aware of the upper right corner button containing my name.  I would expect clicking on it to give me a drop down menu with a log off option; as is the case with most fora.  However, clicking on the name button here yields no result whatsoever.

 

Nor am I ever asked to login when accessing this site. Instead I get this-

My notification info (bell) contains this:

The admins pay little attention to this site unfortunately. There are some moderators that still give a damn and keep an eye on things but have limits to what they can do.

 

Seeing unread content within a forum doesn't work the way you think it does. The "Unread Content" link is site-wide no matter where you click it. If you want to see what's unread within a specific forum only, you would need to "follow" that forum, click "Unread Content", and then set the Following filter to "content posted in areas I follow".  This will show you all unread content across all areas you follow at once. The only way to see it for only one forum area would be to FOLLOW only that one area.

 

If you're having issues logging off, I would suggest you clear ALL temp data and cookies for this site and then log back in. You could also try a different browser to see if it behaves differently.

I’m not techy and only use my iPhone since I retired. This website is set on my phone as an icon. I hit the icon and up it comes. I have it set to newest thread. There isn’t that many so I just click on what I want to read. I have an ad blocker so no ads. When done I slide down on my screen hit the little box I’m out. I never log off any of my sites. You want to get the attention of a moderator type in some nasty stuff they’ll show up.

As for logging out......

 

Your adblocker is causing an issue. Mine does it too. If it's ON, then clicking on my username, upper right does nothing. Try pausing your adblocker on this page temporarily. You should then see the "hand symbol appear" and you can click on log out.

 

Ad Blockers may cause other minor issues. I've found when replying to a PM or maybe even a post, I might click on submit and nothing happens. I've discovered again Ad Block interference. Try this: Make sure you're getting the hand symble appearing when you're hovering over "submit" or "Save". If not, move off the word save, but still in the box. Hand symble should appear and you can click on it

 

 

Ember provides good info. You can try the cookie thing, but pausing ad block temporarily works for me to be able to access certain functions like logging out

If there are any admins here who do give a damn, they have failed to contact me?

 

As for Following filters I do no see a "content posted in areas I follow: option.  Here is what I see -

Follow 1999-2013 Silverado & Sierra 1500

Send me:

A notification and an email when new content is posted
Change how the notification is sent

One email per day with all new content from that day

One email per week with all new content from that week

o Do not send me any notifications

o  Let others see that I follow this

You are correct, the ad blocker was preventing me from accessing the Log Out button.

 

Thanks, but I do not know that all the disturbing ads are worth being able to click on the Log Out button?

A) There are Moderators (not Admins) that pay attention to the site still care about it. If you identify one of them or if you post in an area they monitor for these type of issues, they WILL respond. As an side, one of the Mods actually DID chime in on this thread already and actually guided you to a partial solution (addressing the logout issue). 

 

B) Your description is around how you get notified of new posts but you asked about searching for Unread Content. Under the 1999-2013 forum, click the "Follow" button near the top of the content. Once you have your profile set to follow a sub-forum, click "Unread Content" at the top or bottom of any page. Toward to upper part of the page will be a series of filters. in the "Following" drop-down, choose "Content posted in areas I follow" and it will update to show you what's unread in the various sub-forums you have subscribed to.

Most ad blockers allow you to pause the software, take care of business, then just reload the page and ad block will kick back in since you just paused it for this one page temporarily.

 

For the member that uses ad blockers with no issue, good for you. Not all blockers work the same. Some may have to try workarounds or switch blockers in worst case scenarios.

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
