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.

      Trim level custom/pro

      Seats matter a lot.  I would start there - good advise here.  I had a 2018 LT Colorado before my 2026 LT Silverado, and the seats are so much better in the new one it's not even a contest.  That was one thing I always hated about the Colorado and I owned two of them spanning 10 years - but I did it so I could park in the garage mainly.  Now I have a much larger property and a huge barn so I have plenty of parking options and a full size is more useful for maintaining the property and current hobbies as well.  I wasn't evenb thinking about the seats as part of the reason for the move to the Silverado, but after two back to back 700mile road trips I am sold on the LT seats w/ leather 100%.  The other LT features are also nice - one thing I really like is the power rear window on the back window by the bed.  And the lighting in the bed is also very nice to have - I doubt that comes on the lower models.  Power tailgate - also quite useful - it's a heavy slug!  What else - I could take or leave the screen - but heated seats and steering wheel and cruise control on the steering wheel is very useable - I would never want to live without that.  Even the colorados had that.

      Oil Consumption

      I think the ship has sailed on the fuel injection type - everything is getting direct now.  Does it help with mpg?  Not really and nobody buying a HD truck really cares anyway.  But that is what it is at this point.  Piston rings is something they may well adjust over time to get them right.

      I don’t have detailed measurement data, but this past March we were hiking and camping in Death Valley and the Las Vegas area when this Spring’s heat wave hit with 105 plus temperatures and our 2021 L8T system kept our crew cab as cool as we wanted it (68F setting) with no trouble. Fan flows on auto once stabilized were fairly low. It seems like the OP’s system should be performing better.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By c4racer2 · Posted

      Yes that's correct on the route to Durango - we just followed what google maps recommended.  That is quite the pass btw - very steep going back down.  I didn't even need manual mode - I just used cruise control and set the truck at 50 I think when it was a 45 posted speed and for the most part it just held it there by keeping it in the right gear - everyonce in awhile there is a sharper turn that I just braked for - but it was pretty smooth going down it on both sides.  Amazing views around there for sure - we had no real time to stop, were on the clock for a set-up time, but we did stop in some 2 horse town somewhere a couple hours oustide of Durango in the middle of nowhere for burgers.   And yes - lots up up and downs on the Durango trip but I think it's a big difference going 70 vs. going 80-83 with the aero in play with these big trucks.  Even the much smaller Colorado does reallt bad on gas going up over 70, I think I would have been lucky to get 18 on that trip in the Colorado honestly.  The full size is definately more comfy for a long road trip too, and the amount of gear we had would have meant two vehicles if I still had the Colorado.

      I'm not sure what my temps were, but it would take my 2024 about 4-5 miles of driving before my AC started cooling. They replaced my compressor under warranty.
