    I just noticed...I'm on another forum that uses this software, and the "Latest Posts" box only appears at the top-level pages. It is not at the thread level. Once you're down into the conversations, you get the whole screen.

    Good point Not that it really matters (and I made a side-comment on this before), but I turned off Ad Block for this site when Antoine first put up that banner message, and I have yet to see a single advert.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    There are varying opinions on this. There were a few members here who had problems before the ECU flash. >None of those members have reported any issues since their ECU got updated >Members who did not have problems and got their ECU flashed as a preventative measure continued to be...

    I believe that has something to do with the Latest Posts box at the top right-hand side. It seems to occupy an entire column width. I poked around...if there's a way for each User to turn that off, I didn't find it.

    Downloaded as 1200x900 (218kb). Again, quality is limited by monitor resolution. "Better resolution" is invisible. Larger files are required for quality prints. Here's 1024x768 (120kb).

    Shows as 1500x1125 (295kb)...still a reasonable file size in terms of kb. Here it is as 800x600 (84kb) Other than the slight dimension difference, resolution on monitor is identical.

    I saved your image to my laptop, Antoine. It's 1500x2000 but pretty small at 335kb. Here it is at the limit of 800x600 (and 96k) that Jazzy says the forum displays, for comparison purposes: I keep a folder for the pics I've resized for uploading here and elsewhere, and only a couple are...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Either way, they are such very nice cars. I started looking in 2018 and was ready to pull the trigger on a GT with PP, then other life stuff came up that caused me to put things on hold until early 2019 (first year for the turbo in the CX-5.) Had I purchased the GT in 2018, I would be...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Payment difference is about $60/month. To me it would partly depend on my driving conditions. I have a Reserve and live in a very rural area. There is no traffic here. I drive 15+ miles to my bank and encounter 2 stop signs (one at either end) and 0 traffic lights or traffic on the trip...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    edit to add: If you aren't familiar with LocTite, the Blue is removable. Red is permanent.

    Extended Warranty - Turbo?

    I understand the concept. I guess I'm asking whether car repair shops trust these repair insurance companies to pay the bill as much as everyone else trusts Allstate to do likewise. Most contractors will work based upon Allstate's word. Will most repair shops take any of the policies I might...

    Extended Warranty - Turbo?

    The one thing that has held me back is my lack of experience with them. Can I really go to my local mechanic and expect that he'll mess with pursuing the company for payment, or is this just a dealer thing? And this would apply to whoever has underwritten the policy? There has been lots of...

    Signatures in short supply?

    It's insane, isn't it? At least the pdf lets you search on keywords. There's just so much to learn with all the technology. In the past I've read the entire manual, driving the car for 6-12 months, then gone through the manual again once I've had some using experience. Ain't gonna happen...

    Extended Warranty - Turbo?

    I wonder if I can get a deal on an extended warranty for my 2019? I didn't buy one when I bought the car, but I bet the dealer would be glad to sell me one now, and probably at a good price.

    If you're talking about the one with the red valve cover & vacuum gauge, it works fine for me. -Thumbnail is fine. -Displaying as the selected pic is fine -Full Screen is fine Here's a screenshot:

    Extended Warranty - Turbo?

    Keep in mind that the 2.5L turbo engine has been used in the CX-9 for a while. I hung around the CX-9 forum before making my purchase for that specific reason and didn't see anyone commenting on issues with the turbo. Maybe you want to post your question over there as well for CX-9 owenrs to...

    Cool. I can't imagine anyone noticing a quality issue, since monitor resolution is the constricting factor. This should reduce forum storage requirements as well. Thanks!

    Off Topic Amazing quality on early Model Y builds

    I've always been a late adopter, but value those who live on the bleeding edge. Good for them for shaking out the bugs and leading the charge. We all eventually benefit. And good for Tesla for shaking up the car sales regulatory environment. The personality of their founder only adds to the...
