Yeah, funny enough, my code thinks it should hide my original post after you click into the thread.

That is funny!
Sort of a built in demo of the app - free of charge. Its working for me on Firefox.

Possible bug? Today, when the most recent curated content thread was posted and located in 1st position on the "Talk" forum, the app was eliminating the entire "Talk" subforum from my display, not just the curated content thread. After another thread was posted, the app went back to working normally.

Too funny. I was wondering what that was all about.

Risk - very low.
Benefit - extremely high.

I am running this on my Chrome and Firefox, and all i can say now is that i sleep better at night knowing curated content will never hurt me again.

I didn't renew my subscription. Part of the reason being Curated Content. If that's where they wanna start looking for money and traffic, then they don't need my help. Seems their new traffic avenue, is at the inconvenience of their paying members. If more people felt that way, then maybe we would see a noticeable difference. I don't know though. Not my forte. regardless, I'll just sell S2k parts through Facebook subgroups from here on out.

Curated Content Editor

I hear you guys. I think the sub-forum idea is a good one. I will talk to the community team. Part of the reason we create these slideshows is to draw attention to the site and keep people talking. And the ad revenue is what keeps the lights on and the sites running. The membership money you spend on this site is extremely important for site maintenance and improvements, but we do need the sponsors and advertisers as well, which means we need to continue to create the slideshow content. That being said, I am happy to hear what content you hate and what content you'd love to see us focus on. Sounds like you'd rather see unmolested cars than Frankensteined ones. We would love to actually focus on forum members, their cars, their builds, the mods, their stories, etc., using text and images from forum threads to tell a more complete, easy to digest story that will appear on the site's homepage. Maybe we can set up a page where you guys can send us links to your favorite build threads and we can feature them in a slideshow format. That way we are not creating junk content that you are not interested in. I am happy to work with everyone.

I will still investigate setting up a separate Curated Content sub-forum to house our content. That way you can access it or completely ignore it.

No offense intended to anyone. As one of the members said, it's all in fun and not to be taken too seriously, but it's also meant to inspire conversation and debate. I would much rather you guys debate great cars and topics rather than burn your time fuming over the curated content editor and our bad content choices. And if any of you want to write for us and help get the content re-focused, we will pay you! Just send me a PM.
