When I do a search for a certain topic, I get several discussions listed. My problem is, that once I open one to look at the content, I can't get back to look at the others in the listing. If I click on next, I go back to the Forum. If I select the back arrow, I get "cant' find web page". What am I doing wrong, or is this just the way the search function works? Also, why is there no expansion of the topic when you hover over the title?

I have that problem is with the back arrow when using Mozilla Firefox, it doesn't happen when I use Edge as a browser. Firefox made some changes in their latest updates that cause this problem. The next button and the hover problem are the way that the Search function works. Hopefully we will get an update to this Forum someday soon, that will eliminate some of its clumsy features.

Thank you Tom. So I guess for now, I have to keep re-entering the topic until I get the info I need.

A classic example of problems with this website is the latest posting by a person wanting information on '41 convertible screw jacks. It posted his question 3 times. I know exactly what he did to cause the problem. He clicked back to the main page with three clicks and it posted it posted his question 3 times. Very frustrating for people posting questions and answering questions.

A high quality, user friendly website would be a worthy investment that would likely translate into increased Club membership. It is time the website come into its own and stops being the poor stepsister of the V8 Times.

I agree with you Alan. I like AACA Forum software the best of the sites that I contribute on. This site and the Fordbarn both need to make their sites better.

A website that is more user friendly would most likely increase participation on this site.

A website that is more user friendly would most likely increase participation on this site. There are also issues with purchasing items from this site and shipping prices on those items. I would hope these issues will be addressed at the next face to face board meeting.

Well.............. Anyone know about software coding? Old is old. And some old can not be adapted to new coding no matter how much $$$$ you throw at it. You can have a choice --- new updated web site and not be able to reference past postings, or...........stay the way it is (but fix the multiple photo issue and repeat entry) and enjoy. As a former programmer of IBM code --- let me tell you, you don't want to start over. There is too much information that will be lost. That is just the way it is. How many were able to move ALL their files from Windows XP to Windows 10? Or, how many have information on the 3 1/2 floppy disks and find that it is now un-readable with today's software? As for the online store -- the shipping rates are now in line --- purchaser's may not be reading the product information and applying the proper shipping rate.

Bruce, I vote for a brand new upgraded website. Leave the old site operative for a while with a link to the new site. Others have done it, why can't we? The Club and the Membership deserves better. Members will have to create new usernames for the new website, and understandably, we'll lose some users, but the gain will be tremendous! PS: Think of the new V8 Club Memberships! Alan
