>>> MVS Turns Eight! Whoo! <<<

More early MVS history than you knew, thought you knew, or need to know.

Simply Amazing!
Hows work going for you now?

Work's been fine, Rob, thanks for asking -- I'm always behind in fact! It doesn't help that MVS beckons several times a day. It whispers "Check the forum for interesting topics. Do more work on my redesign. Make my errors in Internet Explorer go away. Narrow the page a bit so I don't give users scroll bars. Introduce that new doublesecret feature you've been thinking about" and about a dozen other things.

I awlays wondered about the history of MVS. I'm no web designer but whatever you did, Matt, this forum is by far the best ever, hands down.

Can I have a suggestion.

On the left side where we write location, mileage, year of the car, the mileage of the car is the latest mileage user updated in his / her profile. Would it be possible to update mileage only for the new posts.
If the mileage would "stay" with the post it would tell new reader, this kind of a problem is expected for cars with similar mileage. It is little confusing to read the old post saying " just replaced my original timing belt" and on left you see car has 180K. The mileage "fixed" to the post would show you some history of the car.

I do not know if it is easy change but I would appreciate it.

Thanks for the greatest Volvo forum .. I am getting addicted but it is better than grass.

Hi januwan, sorry for the delay getting back to you. There actually is no field for mileage. It's not asked for anywhere except where the moderators and I ask for you to include it in your post when it's relevant.

Well thank you

. I've never been told it's better than grass, but whatever the case that's high praise.

Have found this site to be worth it's weight in gold. Volvo corp. should be kissing the founders butt. I have concluded that Volvo is Swed for Hypochondria. My mother and my car suffer from the same thing....I still love them both. Cheers!
