The white makes it easy to read unlike CVN and many other sites that are hard to look at.

I like the white too...

[DarkKnight]

Keep the white for gods sakes...

dark collers with black hue = imposible to see light colores blue/green/yellow all them colors hurt your eyes...

[gadget73]

There is a dark one installed, two actually. You can switch to it. Scroll all the way to the bottom and take your pick. I'll install another one, but I'd like to keep the total number of themes installed to 3 or less just because the more things that are installed, the more work it is to update stuff.

Canadians parts stores and US vehicle inspections

Blasted Canadians keep asking for tech advice and forgetting to mention that they live on the wrong side of our northern border. If nothing else, this changes parts availability, as nearly every Canadian on this site claims they don't have local discount parts outlets like we have in this country, which means that a lot of parts an American would think are easy to obtain, may be very difficult to obtain if you don't live in the US. Stuff still fits together the same way, but if getting the recommended parts is near impossible, the advice you just received is pretty much wasted. Be up front about where you live and I won't pound your head in when you randomly, out of the blue, claim you can't get stuff my local stores keep in stock.

Americans asking questions on stuff that may be subject to state emissions or safety inspections are no better ... supposing one lives in, say, Indiana, it makes a HUGE difference whether you live in LaPorte or Porter county with respect to what mods you can make and still hope to pass the local sniffer test to get a valid registration tag in your county. I know other parts of the country have safety inspections that restrict what you can do in terms of exhaust exit locations, brake line repairs, and sometimes even tell you when you have to repair body rust. And guess what? If someone else reading the thread has never lived in your particular area, you HAVE to spell out what inspections your car will or will not be subject to next time you go to renew your registration or more unnecessary aggravation and Internet violence is likely to ensue.

Why don't we find a way to encourage everyone to volunteer this information up front and reduce the number of posts that turn out to be completely irrelevant because the advice contained therein isn't feasible in the location where the original poster happens to live?

Canadian Tire is a parts store, mostly consisting of the same crap as places like Autozone but if it ain't in stock they order from a site called Keystone I believe. Plus we have Napa, as well as loads of others problem is, I don't live in Vancouver. Lordco Auto Parts is where I do my shopping, HUGE inventory, most of the crap if not available is a day away, if not they know right away and can tell me if the part has to come from the manufacturer(2 weeks - god knows how long) Bonus for me, no inspections...

Let's not turn this into a shit-throwing festival. Keep it to site issues only.

[351m]

Not trying to do that. Just had to state that parts availability is not changed, we can get exactly what can be had down there... just places with or without emissions will be completely different. There is no need to know a person's location to give advice, just let them know the emissions garbage is their choice depending on where they live.

I got a complaint....

In my own thread no less.


THE SEARCH FUNCTION FUCKING BLOWS!!!!!!!!

Example.



It finds dick. Even though I KNOW the thread exists!



Oh look! I didn't capitalize the "T" in PoTM, or put an exclamation point on the end! AND I forgot to put "GMN" in there! For shits and giggles, I threw the GMN in there and searched, still found nothing.

The way I see it, the search function is completely fucking useless if you have to be THAT specific, getting every last fucking letter right. No wonder no one wants to use the search feature, it FUCKING SUCKS. I've noticed this with a lot of other sites, who also happen to use the same forum software.


Just another one of those stupid fucking things that no one complains about for some reason but needs to be fixed. Plus I dunno how to fix it myself, so I'm just gonna bitch about it.
