Okay I got it to work, thanks for the help but what a convoluted process! I thought the Image URL went in the box that says "drop image/file". Apparently that box serves no purpose, sowhy not just excise it in favor of the space that say "image URL"?
As for adding a space on the end, how are ya supposed to know to do that?
The whole process used to a lot more user friendly [[non-permissible content removed] over]

It could be a bit more intuitive.
The drop box is so you can drag an image that lives on your computer over to the forums. No external hosting site needed, so that's a plus.
You don't even need to click the file icon. Just drag an image from your desktop into the comment box. It's automatically uploaded. Not sure how it could be much easier!
Quick example...
What's the deal on listing the cars you own on your sig? I've filled out the line for my profile but the info does not show up.

Try this - go to your Member Name on the right sidebar and click on the gear. Then select Edit Profile. There's an option there for Signature Settings.
Or click on your name in your post above. There's an Edit Profile selection under the "little head" dropdown arrow there (to the right of your member name). That'll take you to the same page where Signature Settings option lives.
Oh, the line you filled out in your Profile shows up when someone clicks on your name.
Is there any way to remove a picture from a post I've made since it was uploaded using the Attach tool? It's far after the 4-hour edit period.

A host can edit indefinitely. Where is the post you want to remove the picture?
@imidazol97, I've been driving all day (6 hour road trip, four test drives) so I haven't caught up with the latest comments yet, but your Malibu is a good looking car. I'd leave the pic up.
I'd leave the pic up.
I think you're right.

I like it, too.

I sometimes answer one of the questions in the Unanswered groups. I note that if I answer the question leaves that group. Can there be some way to leave a question there until the poster marks it answered or a certain numbers of days has elapsed?
I gave an answer for what I suspect is an internal vacuum leak on a Dodge. But I don't feel that I gave a solid answer and someone with Dodge experience may know more. But the question left the group now so Dodge or someone with knowledge may not see that question about a whine from the engine.
One the other hand there's been a question about the size of crank bearings on a toyota in the group for weeks. There should be a way for unanswered questions to "time out."
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
I'll check into it. One thing I can do is change that topic from a Question to a Discussion. That way it all "comments" being added and not "answers."
Here's the one you answered. The other fast way to keep track of it is to bookmark it when you respond by activating the yellow star at the opening post.

Is there a way to make the "Prices Paid and Buying Experiences" subforum display its subjects in alphabetical order, as we could on the old forum software? I realize there are a lot of makes and models there, but search does not always return what I'm looking for. E.g., it's not clear whether one should search for "Ford F-150 Prices Paid" or "Ford F-series Prices Paid," but if they're in alphabetical order by make, it's easy to find. "2014 Ram prices paid" returns nothing relevant other than a lease discussion.
Very difficult to navigate when the topics are shown in order of most recent activity.
That'd be nice but we haven't figured out how to do something like that. You can go to the Car Forums link up top and Browse Forums by Make/Model but the default sort is by recent activity.
For example - Ford F-150, Ram 1500.
All of a sudden the Forums site has stopped "remembering" me so I have to log in every time. Anyone else having this problem?

Haven't heard anything - try clearing your browser cache or reboot your computer.
Anyone else?
I started having the problem recently on my iPad.
But also on another site they never used to log me out. PC is fine, so I think it is an iPad issue for me,

I discovered the problem. There's a little bar at the bottom of the ipad marked Private. If you hit it inadvertently it locks password-pages. Un click it and passwords are "remembered" again.

Heh, that's one my wife has never heard of (she's on her second iPad). Thanks for the tip.
I actually found an dun clicked that. Maybe I need to do it on every site?

It just has to be unclicked on one I think. I've had my ipad for 5 years and never seen this before!

Okay, you made me look. I have a 1st gen Ipad and I'm not seeing this "Private" button.
I have ipad 2.

It's not on the browser itself, but Safari can be set to private in iPad 1's settings. It turns the tabs an ugly black so you'd notice it if it was set.

after I turned off Private, I rebooted the ipad, and it seems to have cured the problem. Big pain having to remember, and reenter, PWs all the time!

Just checking. We may have fixed the annoying quote issue.
And checking again.
ONE MORE TIME!!!!!
Would appreciate everyone's thoughts about this.
Appears to work
Testing "deep" nesting.
[Hm, you'd think "Appears to work" would have stayed in the quote box. Still an improvement]
In Firefox I get Http status 500 - an exception occurred processing JSP page/global/redesign_head_part2.jsp at line 3 and a page full of Apache error text. Other times I use the Forums pulldown on Edmunds.com and get a big Whoops!, your sso timed out during the request.
In IE8 I get the howdy stranger page but get a normal page with a message saying we're having difficulty please come back later. And then later I am able to sign in to my bookmarked pages.
If I use my Win 7 laptop, everything is fine.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
XP eh? Living dangerously.
And yes indeed on the XP thing, Somehow or other I managed really break my 2 XP machines shortly before support ended. They were pretty old anyway so both have been replaced.
Early next week, you will see a few changes in the Forums. There will be an ad placement after every 5th comment posted within discussions. And to reduce the ad clutter at the top of the page, those static ads will be going away. Plus, the side rail navigation will be rearranged a bit that should be helpful with navigating the forums.
If you have any questions, please post them here or you can send personal message by clicking on my screen name.
Thanks for your continued participation and support!
I believe the home office is looking into it.

Same thing is still happening as of two minutes ago.
Please let me know if you experience any more issues. There are a couple of minor bugs that we're having Vanilla fix right now, so it's possible you happened to click into one of those.
It feels like something is "kicking you out", correct? Just like tracking down a car problem, the more details, the better!
I'm seeing this on Safari on IOS 12 (Ipad/Iphone) and Google Chrome on Win10

We really appreciate the feedback on what you're all seeing, and the folks who are the actual "mechanics" tell me that all the information, however small, is useful.
For example I just posted in C&C and it shows as new.
