Sometimes, I'll come on the forums and check out what threads have replies. I'll look through them all and go do something else for a while.

Later in the day/evening I'll come back and it looks as though all the threads have fresh replies....but when I click to view them, it turns out there really aren't any new replies. Why is this? Are they teasing us or something?? Do they get a kick out of getting us all excited that there's new material to read only to find out it's the same old stuff? lol

I have noticed this as well. I thought it was just me. What I find odd is that sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesn't. I cannot make it happen, but open the page enough times and it is bound to occur. I am thinking it has something to do with my end, although I am not entirely sure. I just figured whatever file was being stored locally on my machine was getting deleted once in a while and that was resulting in the issue...who knows though.

I have had it happen without even opening a new instance of Firefox...like if I navigate away from the page now and come back after a bit, it may occur...but it may not...

I've noticed a different thing this past week when using the "back" button. Sometimes I cannot go back and I'm locked on the thread being read i.e. I can't go back the the thread listings. I have to exit Firefox and/or open the forum again. Just this forum and just recently started a few days ago.

awww come on man thats the best part! lol


Does anyone else frequent the other forums on stangnet? I know 94-95 has died down over the years...have the s197 and new edge forums picked up?



There are so many mustang forums out there. Do they make a lot of money from advertising? I wish they would all combine. That would rock.

I admit I don't come around much. Well I have been checking in lately cause I'm kinda working on my car. I frequent Dodgeforum.com more now cause of my Ram

The mobile version of this site is a joke. Parts of it are in a different language or something, you can't reply, you can't go to a full version. We need to revolt on the mobile version and have them fix that **** lol.


There's time I don't get emails to replies and then when I get on the site I'm like well damn somebody posted in my thread

only quirk that really bothers me is that i have to sign in like 15 times ( no joke ) before it actually logs me in. this is any computer, any place, any given time. different browers doesnt make a difference.

not a huge deal but annoying.

I get logged out occasionally (sometimes right in the middle of answering a string of threads). I do a double-take because all of a sudden there's no QR box and it makes me think the thread was closed for no reason.

And the ads seem to make it take forever for pages to load. Other sites load a lot faster for me. Shrug.

The "other" Mustang site is worse. Sometimes the ads never load and I get the No Connection screen. And if I spent some time replying to a post and this happens, I lose everything I just typed! I've gotten into the habit of copying my posts before I post in case I lose it.

In the past I did smack some up. Now days probably not.

Paul should be able to send Mike a PM about it.
