Welcome to the new PriusChat! Post your questions, bugs, suggestions here

how can i get the old format PC?

 

Forum software upgrade, kind of like Prius II to Prius III. Overall a better car with higher mileage but might do some things differently than older model, things some folks liked better. But overall, a better model with better tech and user interface.

Use What's New button.
Use Blue buttons next to messages for last unread by you.
Use the Top button hidden way down on lower right to get back to top.

Those basics and it works pretty well.

 

Can you please stop using references to "Prius II" and "Prius III" when referring to generations? Toyota's never called them that. It confuses newbies and causes further confusion when people are looking for used Priuses, esp. 2010s. I'm not sure if you're just doing it to bug people here.

Per Toyota Vehicles : Toyota Announces Prices for 2010 Prius / Toyota, Prius II and Prius III are exactly the same age. III is not newer than II.

 

This is a bug that was reported earlier in the thread. My avatar is much larger than that "limit" and I had no issues (I'm on a PC using Firefox). Perhaps try Safari to upload your avatar pic.

 

I noticed that the original post at MY11 Prius | PriusChat seems to have been lost. The first story I think was Danny's own writing but Prius Team's original post is lost. Fortunately, it is quoted further down.

Fortunately, there is a copy of the original Prius Team post at MY11 Prius - PriusChat Forums.

I don't think this was intended. There might be some others that have been messed up.

 

I can't search individual forums or threads anymore...that really sucks. Being able to just click the "search" button in a forum or thread was the really easy way for me to find what I wanted. I hope you guys will consider adding this feature back!

 

Some pages have Text1 Text1, etc. instead of links:

 

I'm enjoying getting back into the Priuschat family after a considerable hiatus - Of course my renewed interest is sparked because of the purchase of my 2nd Prius. Enjoying the new - easier to use format here! Just wondering though - My "status" by my profile was "reduced" to "New Member." Why is that? Thanks!

 

Ok, assuming you'll eventually get those to work again, I just created another such post [post=1582358]here[/post], which is in [thread=111006]this thread[/thread].

Any progress on making those work?

Thanks,

Here's a bug report. It's pretty minor. If a thread title has the " character, the URL of the thread will contain a " character, and this cannot be pasted in as a link in your forum software. I hope I'm explaining this well enough for you to understand.

I think you need to not include " characters in URLs which you generate.

 

New software reset everybody to new. Hey...it's America. Everyone gets a second chance.

 

If you edit your profile you can put any wording you like in that field.

 

I've found more broken images such as the ones at What is "MG"? | PriusChat.

 

How about adding an "Alert" button at the bottom of the page so we don't have to constantly scrolling back to the top of the page to see what the new alerts are? Also "Inbox" and "Watched threads" would be nice. Thanks!

 

There's a "Top" button hidden way on the bottom of the screen in the lower right. I was missing it for a while it's so small and hidden away.

 

I wonder if it's a better long-term plan to keep the codes working, perhaps with this XenForo add-on. The bbcodes are shorter, make it easy to specify an anchor, and make it easy to keep up with any future server config changes that might make the urls different. If you've actually gone through old posts and found all the places those old codes were used and changed them to hardcoded urls, that will make them require the same kind of attention again next time, if there's a next time.

Thanks for the info! But it actually does not go to the top, just near the top. I still need to scroll the rest of the way to the real top to access the "Alert" button.

 

That's due to modification that Danny put in that puts an extra menu bar at the top. "Top" eliminates all the scrolling, kind of like the Google driverless car, it gets you to the garage door, you have to go the final inch yourself.

 

Sure, take a look at this post:
For Sale - 17" PLUS FORGED wheels and tires! | PriusChat

In Firefox, the URL is correctly formatted: 17-plus...
But in Tapatalk, it gets formatted like so:
Cool Inventions | PriusChat"-PLUS-FORGED-wheels-and-tires!.110813/

If I paste that URL into a browser, it works, but I arrive at:
For Sale - 17" PLUS FORGED wheels and tires! | PriusChat

But in Tapatalk, the URL gets BBCODE wrapped around it, like this:
17" Tires For Sale!
And this doesn't work, because the quote character terminates the string. Maybe it's a Tapatalk bug?
