Correct Terminology is important when you rant. Otherwise, we can't understand you.

What "page" are you talking about?......or are you talking about this site?

This FJ Owners "site" works fine on my cell phone. What "user interface" are you talking about?

Please be specific. (Yes, we already know the forum search function sucks)
1) Free Owners Manual download: https://tinyurl.com/fmsz7hk9
2) Don't store your FJ with E10 fuel https://tinyurl.com/3cjrfct5
3) Replace your old stock rubber brake lines.
4) Important items for the '84-87 FJ's:
Safety wire: https://tinyurl.com/99zp8ufh
Fuel line: https://tinyurl.com/bdff9bf3

I have a newer android, and the website works well on it, but with one exception that has been ongoing with past androids that I owned too. When composing a personal message to someone that is longer than a couple/few sentences, the body of the message covers the submit message button, and makes the button inaccessible, so the message can't be sent. A little aggravating.

Yes, this webpage is getting long in the tooth, not unlike many of its members. I once made a suggestion to remove old stale Child Board links on the home page, some of which go back to circa 2005 (I mean really, 13 friggin years ago, come on!), so that the extra space could be better utilized, for perhaps something more comtemporary, or exciting. There was no, nada, feedback on the suggestion. So one can assume that the suggestion had fallen on deaf ears of the powers to be, that can change these kinds of things.

Other than the donate/subscribe button at the bottom, it boils down to "what do you expect for free?", or if you don't like it here, there's the door.

Exactly.

No offense meant, but new members need to realize that this site has evolved considerably from the old Yahoo! Groups page. Marsh White built and hosted the site for a long time, and Randy was kind and generous enough to pick up the ball when Marsh relinquished it - it could have just gone away altogether. The site has always been user-supported and user-maintained. Suggestions for changes are certainly welcome, but interface changes take time, effort, and $$$$$$. Marsh was a web developer; Randy isn't. He has a business of his own to run, and he does a damned fine job...so if you've got helpful suggestions to make, or time and talent to donate, great.

But rants like this serve no one.

I have experienced the same topic box cover on my Android as fj1100mlk. To fix it I turn my phone 90* and the button is again visible. Maybe that will work for you

Not sure for me if this qualifies as a:



, or a:
:Facepalm:

I feel strongly about the latter.

Thanks for the tip!

Just because your bike is old Dosent mean you have to be. I may be a dick head... But you Sir. Are an outdated cunt. Any day name the street...

Ryankhitt

This site is amazing... Don't take my critique as an insult... But the way people get their information across... I know grad students that would help for free... And here is a healthy ' Fuck you ' to anyone that wants to think I can't hang... Pac man used a better interface... Oh yeah... I meant site... Sorry you cunt.

Why do you have to get so vulgar. The people on this site are the best and they are just there to help one another out. No need for the nasty comments IMHO
