Under the board index, please try clicking the "Mark Forums Read" link on the right. That will mark everything as read again, and possibly reset any funkiness that might have occurred with read/unread status. If the issue persists, reply again and we'll go from there.

This will remain, it makes people accountable for their posts and encourages high-quality posting. What's said is set in stone, making users less likely to go on emotional diatribes they can take back later.

If you ever feel a post past the expiration date requires a change or if you notice a typo too late, feel free to PM me to have me fix it for you. I fix typos at least once a week for people.

If you count the "Other Bikes" subforum as that, then yes.

This forum will only be for the PCX. People are encouraged to talk about other bikes in the forums, specifically in Other Bikes and in Off-Topic, but I don't see us adding any audiences by extending to include more models. We specialize in the PCX here, and we do it well!

I like this idea a LOT, but it will use a ton more bandwidth, and the previous poll about this was unsuccessful. If this had enough interest expressed here, I could make another poll.

I think this would be interesting, but we'd never do a full reputation system or anything like that. I'll see if something like this would be difficult to implement, and will implement it if it's fairly trivial and wouldn't interfere with anything else. I think, if anything, just a thumbs-up button could help improve post quality (not that it's lacking but it will keep things as good as they are now).

GeorgeSK wrote:While I am quite new here, I do have one suggestion. Would it be possible to duplicate the "view new posts" button at the bottom of the page? Clicking on the icon for getting to the last post is a great help, but then you have to scroll up before you can get back to seeing what is new.

Does GN2's "Home" trick fix this sufficiently? It won't be too hard to add the button you requested, but I won't bother spending the time adding it if you no longer need it.



Thanks for the good feedback everyone! I'm glad we have a high satisfaction rate here. A lot of it is from you guys, I rarely have to moderate since you all behave so well.

GREAT job here.....and personally I like the "careful how You post it" format...having spent several years moderating other Scooter, Motorcycle, and Trike websites, this cuts down on "flame now, edit/delete later" issues......

Just press the Home button on your keyboard

Keyboard? Where have you been Grandad?

Maddiedog, GN2's solution works just fine for me. You would think that someone that has been messing with PC's since the dark days of DOS on an 8088 would know about that trick, but... nooo.... Is it worth changing? If it were wicked easy, then yes, for the sake of others who do not find or know of GN2's elegant solution. But if it would take more than a few minutes, well, we can just suck it up.

My wife has a tablet, YouYou, and it makes me nuts. I guess I'm just "tablet impaired" I poke and swipe, and it does all sorts of weird (and time consuming) stuff. Maybe my aim is not so good. Maybe I just don't "get" android. The old keyboard/mouse combo with a 24" screen does what I need it to do.

Recently I bought a tablet and am slowly getting used to it.
Have resisted the temptation to get a keyboard for it thus far...

Good on you! Hang in there! Got one last year and Still so much to learn.
Say you, you....whatcha posting on? Got an iPad? How's that working for ya?

My android came with a keyboard but I dont use it. Im quite happy with the electronic keyboard.

Depends where I am I suppose. Android tablet, blackberry playbook or iPhone

Playbook is probably the best tbh

@ centerfold! Why did I Not see that coming!

Okay Dave, it's a bandwidth thingy (I don't know much about, but) We are nearing the anniversary of last years 1st poll/survey. We have many new members, perhaps they would like a banner photo as much as we would? Dunno. I don't even know if those reading here understand what I'm chattering on about. Should a new thread be started explaining the photo banner idea...or maybe just post the link to the old thread here? Up to you boss (o;
We were pretty close in the running last poll and would do much better with poll results, IF more members here would submit a vote. It seems the appropriate time to "Make that Change" .....If one is to be made (o: my two cents

I would appreciate a little more info on this ... even if it is just to link me to the other thread.

By the way, I am enjoying this forum very much. Thanks for your great work Maddiedog!!

I purchased my PCX because it was about the only bike big enough for my 6'1" frame that still allowed me to maneuver between stopped cars in Bangkok traffic. That is a typical Thai thing. By the time the light turns green there can be 30-40 bikes lined up in front of the cars and it is everyone for themselves. I still can't believe that I had never ridden a bike before this.

In the end, I don't ride the bike as often as I thought I might (500 kms in 7 months {300 miles}) because we live very close to the Skytrain and subway lines, but it has become a hobby for me. Living in Thailand means I get very affordable accessories, so I have added lots of extras (sorry about that GN2 ). This forum has added to the pleasure of the hobby. I really appreciate the tone of the vast majority of the posts. Thanks everyone!

No need to apologise, its your scoot and if you want to waste your cash on useless tat to make it look like a tasteless blinged up tart-mobile, that's perfectly ok with me

Here ya go kramnala58, and anyone else interested (I hope many)... This is the old thread on the forum that I referred to above (sorry about not posting it earlier)....

I did that and now there is a little icon marking topics that are unread as shown in the screenshot below, but all topics are still bold. Just to be clear, we are still supposed to see unread topics in bold font and read topics in regular font right?

Yes, the post you are pointing to is showing as "unread." If you click that icon, it should take you to the first unread post in the thread.

All threads are bold, not regular. If the thread has an orange page by it, it is unread. If it has no page and a white page on the left, it is read.

What happens if you do Mark Topics Read under the General subforum? top-right link here: http://hondapcx.org/viewforum.php?f=2

The mark forums read and mark topics read are working for me, which is why I'm a bit confused on this.

Ok let me try to resolve the confusion. I'm not sure now if taz's problem was the same as mine, but, my issue was... before the update i never paid any attention to those icons on the left and i also never used the "mark forum read" or "mark topic read" links. If i clicked on a topic it was automatically marked "read" until somebody posted something new. "Unread" topics were bold and "read" topics were not. Simple.

After the update all topics are now bold regardless of being read or not and i had no idea what those icons were about. Then i started reading this topic and thought taz seemed to have a similar issue. Then after my initial post indicating my issue, you suggested i use the "mark forum read" link. So i did (for the first time ever), and then i waited a few minutes for new posts so i could see if anything was different. After a few minutes i hit refresh and noticed the icons next to topics that were "unread" and then took that screenshot. Now you have confirmed all topics are bold regardless of their status which means i never actually had any technical issue.

Does that clear up everything?

I do have another suggestion... I would like a link at the top that will go straight to "My subscribed topics." Similar to "view your posts" except you only see the topics you subscribed to. That way i can always quickly check only the topics i'm currently interested in.

Ah someone else that knows what a play book is. I tried this tablet when they dropped the price to 199 but after a couple of months there wasn't still enough apps and the current apps always crashed so I sold it and now I am trying to trade my laptop for an older gen iPad

I'm Happy......
