  • Let's save this forumn!!!! Ideas,Problems etc.

    Ideas? Problems? Solutions?
    Okay I'm still driving festivas,still working on them, but almost never get on here since things changed a few years back. Let's figure out how to fix it. 3 issues I have are navigation and how unbelievable slow everything is my last post with a pic's had to have taken 5 minutes while it just said working. Even just answering someone's question takes forever. I just give up and do something else.Also used to get notifications daily in my inbox I'd click on it, come in and check things out,that doesn't happen anymore As for navigation,just one point. I struggled to post this today,get rid of the house Icon, put the word home in its place. I never could use the search function well. Have a great day everyone. Here's another Idea,let's start a thread people will come to and contribute more often,maybe a thread to show off your pet,or a thread to show off your new tool or tool you made,etc. People don't work on their car everyday,

    I would like to see the forum more lively as well but I run a Ford forum for 25 years now and the reality is facebook and Google AI answers have really relegated forums to the past. I still prefer forums because they are easier to search than facebook groups and you can have ongoing back and forth discussions easier.

    This forum is the slowest one that I frequent. That is likely a back end server issue (needing more CPU/RAM). The other day I tried to post a reply and it took many minutes and then it failed and I tried again and then it posted a duplicate.

    I'm good with the idea of a daily or weekly email that sends an email to interested folks who want to learn what's new.

    Making the forum faster would be my #1 suggestion, and yes, adding more topics like what new tool did you buy etc. are also helpful.

    I recently came back to this forum because I bought another Festiva after 7-8 years and the fact is much of the forum content is still highly relevant while I get caught up on maintenance and ideas.

      How come this doesn't come up as a new topic? It needs to be visible.
