An Automotive Repair & Support Section?

**ShyguyXPC** · July 18th, 2009, 03:24 AM

Ugh!!!

With the sudden Flood of Automotive Repair Questions that seem to be flooding in, is it possible to make a Section for these Threads in the Forums? either a subsection in the Community section or a section of its own?

its really getting tiresome seeing people posting these mechanical/repair questions in the PC tech support areas when I come on here and hit the New posts link above.

I know a lot of these people are coming here from Google/Search engine links from PAST people that have posted, but when they can't seem to read the simple headers for each sections description, and post in the PC/Computer sections, it might help cut down on requests for mods to move these threads, if they had a section of their own. I doubt it, but its worth a try.

the last week or so I've noticed more of these threads posted in the Community section, maybe they were posted elsewhere and others requested them moved, but for me I only noticed them in the community section first, but now this morning there's yet another car question in the PC Hardware/tech support area again.

if it were a question about building a PC for the car I could understand, it would have some relevance to the section, but when they ask for help with a cars Idle, exhaust, intake, performance, etc etc, thats not exactly what the sections were intended for.

So why does my clutch sometimes think it is useless and other times it works perfectly. Or do I visit the Fiat Forum I am a member of for that?

Seriously, I'd rather keep the site to PC tech, but if Scott decides that it could help profitability to add a motor section then it isn't a great hardship to bear.

I agree. I'm happy this is a TECH site. I would be grateful if we kept it this way.

+1, but I'm sure we can post pics of our vehicles and chat about them....

[That sort of chats should prolly belong in the 'Community' area though, TBPH]

We are all members, because we know about computers.
Although some of us are very good with automobiles, I don't think there are enough of us to do a good job at it.

Just my 2 cents.

Don't forget the clothes dries and hot tub questions
