Throw it out there, just name it. Pie in the sky*, simple modification, and everything in between. Just name it.

On the way: faster speeds, image rotation fix




* AI-powered Volvos that just post their own threads here asking for help, bypassing you entirely :lol:
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Encourage users to not post repair information in the “What did you do today…” threads. I wonder how much great information is lost in these thousands of pages. Start a new thread.

Maybe make the signatures more differentiated from the post content by changing the font color slightly.

I thought of one finally.

When I read MVS, I typically go to threads I've been reading already, and I click on the little box to take me to the newest posts, however, instead of taking me to where I left off, it just takes me to that page. I have to scroll to find where I left off, and what's new. On other forums, I'm taken right to the oldest new post, in the thread, that I haven't read yet. (I know this whole paragraph is awkward, I'm trying my best to be clear in what I'm taking about.)

Also, that little box is hard to hit when I'm on my phone.... any chance that just clicking on the thread itself, would take me to the new stuff? Or maybe make the box bigger?

On my phone I am often plopped in the middle of a page, not the most recent post I selected. It scrolls up the page quickly to a random place and I scroll back down to the bottom. Not a big deal, I've just noticed it.

I don't see a box to click, I tap on the day of the latest post. (On my phone that is. On my computer there's the black box with an arrow next to the last poster's name)
