With the old forum format it was very easy to find older posts and threads that I had started. How in the F do you do that now? I can't find anything!

Really? I would type in the exact words to threads I started and find them on page 10 of the results. PM Charlie, he was the only one that consistently could find something using the search function.

Happy New Year to you and The Mrs.

I and others have posted the same thing. I assume IT is still loading the "memory".

Yes a lot of the old threads no longer appear after the forum migration

Not particularly useful for finding all your threads, but using this in a google search yields most of the missing posts and the threads they are a part of -- site:mercurymarauder.net walsh

Replace walsh with any keywords to find what you need.

Who knows!

I can't find anything with this new format.....probably time for me to move on.
I'm getting too old to be struggling with this $h*t.

I'll start a build thread for my 363 SBF going into my '85 Mustang GT on 4EyedPride.
Just got the Magnum 6 speed, QuickTime bellhousing and aluminum driveshaft, along with Cobra 13" 5 lug front/11.65" 5 lug rear brakes and SN95 spindles.
Really nice auto porn!
I might start a YouTube channel for the build too.

Please stick it out. I share your frustration.:mad:

Please view it as a challenge similar to learning a new software!

you should come hang out on SVTPerformance as well, your build would be welcome there

although I will say that site is old school enough to prefer words and photos over vlogs, we chased a few guys off the site who were trying to farm for views.

Technology has allowed us to remove ourselves from reality, thus losing our Human Touch.

The best example is when our fellow Humans are in need and People begin videoing. Very sad that many will argue videoing is helping them.

There's still hope;
Friday PM traffic I am taking a left turn from a 4 lane onto a 4 lane.

As I am making the turn I hear screams of help. I look to my left and a car is stopped with the passenger door open. I get a glimpse of someone on the ground.

I complete my turn and park on the median. I run back to the stopped car. There are 3 other people there. The lady is laying on top of a man in the street screaming uncontrollably.

I asked has anyone called 911, a man with a phone in his hand nods. The screaming lady says he is having a seizure.

Another lady identifies herself as a nurse and convinces the screaming lady to just hold his head.

The police are pulling up.

I go back to my car.

In less than a minute 4 people responded to someone in need. Numerous people asked from their car if they could help.

I am so pleased to advise no one took pics!
