Newb bashing is getting out of control. here's the deal, not everyone on this site is a mechanic, thats why a lot of people are here. when newbs ask questions its because they obviously don't know the answer. but when a person asks a question and 5 different people reply "your dumb for not knowing that," what makes that newb want to stay?

this is NOT OK for the sight...

Look at my sig, it has tha proper code an a valid link, but no pic.. y?

Just an idea...it might be helpful to create a forum for factory recalls. Car companies don't always go out of their way to let people know about recalls because it costs them money. But a forum for members to post factory fixes and recalls they have been informed of could be beneficial for everyone.

ANY GUYS OUT THERE HAD THIS PROBLEM , EVERY TIME THE WEATHER IS COLD MY ENGINE HAS TROUBLE STARTING, ONCE I HAVE GOT IT TO START IT WILL DRIVE AROUND 300 Yrds then it stalls. i have changed the heater plugs and changed all the fuel lines but still happens help needed default/57.gif' '57.gif' />

Ive tried several different pictures, and it always uses the same old pic. I can change my avatar if i use one from the drop down list though. Anyone else experiencing this?

We are looking to change the ranking system used for forum members. Currently forum ranking system is based on posting. The order is:

Newbie 0
Member 25 *
Full Member 50 **
Senior 100 ***
Expert 250 ****
Veteran 500 *****

If you have better idea for forum ranking system, please feel free to post here.

I realize I am a newbie, but on Yotatech.com we have a generation breakdown for the 4Runners. It lists difference in engines/body styles for different year models and such. For example the 3rd Gen 4Runner ranges from 1996-2002 and had both the manual and auto options and 3.4L engines and not sure of the other engines available, but you get the idea. It would help a lot of newbies like myself...

What you guys think of making a chatroom in here? have you guys thought of that?
It might just be a good idea for anyone wanting information faster and asking any stupid question...or just talk about anything...even if it doesnt have to do with DSM's.

Is it me or is there a problem with the garages. I keep trying to access (over a week now) but just get error message, although I have noticed other members have updated their garages today.

Greetings all - first time user. Hope someone needs some Christmas Karma and can offer some guidance. I am an owner of a '01 Montero Sport - Just love it - a real workhorse.

Just turning to winter (Western PA) here and 1st time into 4WD (since being stuck in the woods this summer) and a problem arose.

When I engage into 4WD (either stopped or moving) by shifting the...

i can't seem to send any PM's or view any garages. anyone else experiencing this?

Im alittle ill about paying for the decals and not getting them.I was surporting the cause but.......has anyone had this probelm?

Why dont we make a sounds board. If anyone has a sound system, exhaust, intake, or BOV they wanna show off, we can hear it. This may solve the "how does this exhaust sound on this car" topics.

As far as I know, it doesn't seem like there is an RSS feed for the site? Is there one? If not, what could be done? Just curious!

Ok. So my member number is 36,133. I see a newer member joined recently, and hers is 43,010. Now, are you telling me that over the span of a few months, you have had 6,877 new members join? I don't think that is right. Is this site linked with another place? Just curious.

Hi all,
I have a 2001 L200 4Life 2.5td
I was coming up to a roundabout last night and the Engine Management Light came on (I think)(Yellow light that looks like a funnel with a level across it)
and the engine died on me.
I then tried to start it a few times. It was turning over but not firing. Now when i try to start it i am just getting a horrible grinding sound and certainly...

I was just wondering if we could get an animated smiley face that slaps himself in the face and shakes his or her head in disbelief. Or something to that sort. Im not sure what that would involve but maybe one of the current members that knows how to write code might be able to help.

Just wanted to thank the people in this forum. Making installs on my car has been much easier b/c of the people in this forum. I just bought my lancer two weeks ago and already upgraded the exhaust and added a cold air intake. (I know these are minor things but you got to start somewhere) I am adding headers in about 2 weeks. If the used turbo thing goes alright, I will have a turbo as well. ...

Who the hell moderated the VR4/Supra thread in the GTO/3000GT section? Any particular reason's why? It seems you removed some of my posts & a couple of the others yet you left the garbage in there. Care to explain please.

Hi all,

What software is this forum using? it looks like a skinned vbulletin but just wanted to check.

I already run an owners club with vbulletin, but are looking to start another forum and are looking into alternative software.. and this ony looks kinda good !

why does it show online even when there off.

what is the little ribbon thing on the side under the picture?

I was wondering if the number of posts on one page could be upped a little. right now its at 10. so after 10 posts, it starts another page. that seems a little low. maybe 25?

I just noticed my post count is 27, well this is my 41st post and I counted them in my posts...why is this not working right?

I think that you should make it so that the whole header is clickable, not just a small section because right now I am not used to it and I click the wrong area every time.

Thanks for reading,

Do you have to log in each time you visit this site?.

default/clap.gif' 'clap.gif' /> Great job on the forum and I would really love to make some comments and a suggestion.

First off:

-Love the smileys, very entertaining!
-Also, the header and the whole upper part of the page is just amazingly done.

You can now add your signature (text only) in "Edit Profile" page and type what you want to be appeared after every of your messages. default/57.gif' '57.gif' />

Hey, admin, how come some of the featured cars on the home page, like mine, don't show the pics?

why is it on the home page when you click on the Random Featured Vehicles pictures it just takes you to a error page or the page can not be displayed
it doesn't really bother me (you can just click the users name) or it just my be my computer idk....

why cant we have on the home page alongside other mitsubishi models
a Shogun forum instead of having to scroll through to Regional/UK

I was reading in the Eclipse 2G forums, and saw a how to install a Diy Grill or something, and someone already posted in that topic, that they like the idea of how to's on this site, and I was just thinking that it might be a good idea. Because if you were to make.. say "Do It Your Self How To's", and pin it, and lock it so only admins/ mods can post links in it. and let the...

I came across a thread in the Mirage / Colt section where a gentleman was looking for info on swapping a 4G63t into one of the above vehicles. When I attempted to direct him to a site with that information the board changed my link to read "mitsubishi-forums.com"...

What the hells up with that? You can't link to other sites here???

example =
I actually...

I didn't see how if could anywhere?

What exactly does this...

How about another section in the europe category for those of us who dont live in Ireland or the uk

Whats up with the dates being posted beside the topic title? is that just me?

i think we should have a Racing section where we can post stories about races we have had and the cars we have beat.
