OK Neil, so I found the old thread, thankyou, and hit the reply button which opened up the reply box, typed in a question for Stephen, hit the submit button, and a red warning flashed on the screen saying unable to submit because there was no subject heading, so I tried to type in a subject heading but that box is locked.

I tried twice, thinking the first time I must have screwed up, as usual, but no, got the same result, I'm unable to refresh the thread.

There is a old saw about this "you cannot teach a old dog new tricks".  Hopefully that is not true that both you and I can still learn new things.

Niel thank you for that tip will give that try on some other sites too.

Yes Mike I try checking PM ever week or so just because.  Hopefully I will soon see the right people to ask about parts.
 

Neil, I have been trying to locate an old thread "Pony rebuild In Progress". Started by Jw74 in 2014. Not sure what I am doing wrong or if it still exists. Any advise would be appreciated.

Thank you Neil, I was trying to use the search function at the top of the screen that is in the yellow bar to the right of Profile. What is that "search" area for? It says "advanced search". I put all the info in that location and nothing was found. You would think that the thread should have shown up there also. Just a bit confusing. Thanks much for clearing it up for me.

Neil, I just tried replying in the Cat 30 valve thread several times without success, it refuses to load up.

just as a side note putting a phrase in quotation marks also work with google and other search engines so they search for that phrase not just the words.

Thanks Neil, I was starting to wonder if it is my old desk top computer causing me these issues, today I tried searching the Discussion section for "D4400 oil pan gasket" and "D4 sump gasket" and "D4 7J sump gasket" but didn't get any results, am I the only one having these problems?

The other thing I find when replying to a thread, is my previous post is still in my reply box, so I need to delete it before I can start typing a fresh reply.
Thanks for your help
Mike
