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.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
