Friends: 6 | Subscriiption Based Content Hi Danny - For news stories that require registration/subscription, would you prefer that we copy/paste text or insert the web page? Having just posted a NY Times article, I wasn't sure whether to copy/paste the text, copy/paste the link, use the insert URL command, use the insert Web Page command to the main story, or use the insert Web Page command to the printer-friendly version of the story. I know other people clicking on the link will have to register. I know inserting the text avoids that problem, but at the cost of losing the pictures/graphics. I'm assuming inserting the Web Page avoids the registration problem, but I'm not sure. I gather you're trying to discourage people from inserting Web Pages, presumably to conserve space or bandwidth, but I don't know whether to make an exception for subscription-based content, and if I do, I don't know whether to direct it to the main page or the printer-friendly page. By the way, after playing with it and posting a test message, I now understand the insert URL command. Took me a while to figure out that "Web Page Name" actually means "Insert Web Page Description or Other Text". |

Orders soar for Toyota's hybrid SUV Tuesday, April 26, 2005 at 07:22 JST NAGOYA — Toyota Motor Corp said Monday orders for its two new models of gasoline-electric hybrid sport utility vehicles were three times its initial monthly projection of 1,000 units. Orders for the Harrier and Kluger Hybrids came to 3,200 units in the one-month period from their debut on March 22 in Japan, Toyota said, adding that it had projected monthly orders of 500 for each. (Kyodo News) I can't find the 'select news category' drop down - but I thought this was worth it!

Friends: 0 | Re: **Read First** How to post News Articles on PriusChat Would you consider having the link at the top as part of the guidelines? I like to go directly to the link from the home page when possible to read the story, and that would cut down on a few PriusChat hits required (no need to go to the thread, then find the link) if there are others who browse like this as well. |

Friends: 0 | I believe what Danny was referring to applied to the old board. Now, all you need to do is post a new topic in this forum (Prius and Hybrid News). The post will appear as a "News" article on the board. |

Friends: 0 | Would somebody please personally care to update this entry for the Invision Board software? [edit] I retract this post. It actually works now when one just posts, unlike before when we first switched over to this new software. |
