TakeFiveADay – Now Fortified with Forums!
As I’m traveling towards SDCC, it won’t be as easy to post so it seems the perfect time to launch our forums.
Simply click on the link (on the right or at top) to go to our forums.
First, keep in mind there is no way to really test it so there might be some glitches – be patient – thanks. Not everything might work perfectly. We are just going full speed on this.
First, when you log into TakeFive, you should be logged into the forums login. Some people who are using a login name with a space may not have transferred over correctly. For instance, the computer had no trouble if your login is:
BobSmith or Bob.Smith, Bob_Smith or Beeboobillysmith …
But if your user name had a space like Bob Smith or Love Me CARS, the computer would put a comma after every space because it thought it was a separate user.
I’m not positive if you can log in with your current T5 user name and pw and then you’ll be ok or you need a more hands-on fix.
So, if you cannot log in the forums after truing a couple things, send me an email with the subject FORUM NAME and I will manually add you but it looks like 95% of users names went through smoothly. Keep in mind, I may not be by my computer so it might be a while before I get you a login …
Otherwise, the forum is pretty straightforward.
Right now, there is not much obviously but soon, clicking on NEW TOPICS will show the most recent posts.
This is just a quick snapshot – below are general CARS topics plus further suggestions.
SAME RULES apply on selling & trading.
Also keep in mind, everyone at T5 is on the road this week so we might not be able to get to every comment or fix straight away – stay calm and er, collecting. 🙂
The forums are a work in progress so if you can help out a fellow poster who has a questions on how to embed link a photo or something like that, please help them out. Thanks!
Have fun – enjoy and we may need a few volunteer moderators down the line so drop us a line if you’re interested. Thanks!
Thanks “David” and “Tizmanian.”
Enjoy!

Happy 1st Anniversary to the Take5 Forums!! (2 days ago actually)
So bummed I can’t see the forums.
No forum on either Firefox 5.0 or IE 8.0 ..
I’ve got IE 8.0 and it’s just fine here.
Nothing happens at this link? http://www.takefiveaday.com/takefive-forums/
I’m using Firefox 5.0 and it’s been working fine. I really feel for you guys who can’t see the forum page. 🙁
try this link
Alot of people are missing it

I really liked take5 for its super simplicity compared to the other Cars sites. Not sure how I feel about this. Kinda like Cars 2, it’s losing its home-like feeling.
I guess with success comes complications. I’ve tried this format on other sites with different toy lines. It has become a chore with some of them. Sometimes there has been too much ‘stuff’ to wade through it diminishes the ability to just stop in and see what’s happening.
I like the new additions of the forums. It will be up to us as the readers to fill them up. So the trading post, area shopping report, and feedback pages will now be part of the forums and everything else will stay the same, right? Now I have to figure out how to post pictures. Maybe someone will put a how-to thread into the forums…
Great job Met!!!! Love it 🙂
Look, Luca has his own section!!!!! 🙂
LOL
WOW!! What an honor!!
Thank you!!
Very cool addition. I will check them out.
Very nice, new modern look
I like it a lot!!!!
I am technologically challenged so I’ll let you know tomorrow if I can figure this out.
Have to agree with you BobbyJack. Looks a bit confusing to me. Hopefully I will get use to this soon but…
So far so good. I only goofed once and posted in the wrong spot, but I think I’ll get the hang of it.
You know I will help you, right??
This is a very cool addition and idea. Thanks!
Pretty neat. Comment boxes are still on the bottom of every page though. You may want to disable those to minimize confusion. Just a thought.
For me that is the only way to comment. The forum itself is actually missing and looks nothing like the picture above that Met posted. I get the Welcome box with my profile and then the word Forum, but there is no ‘forum’ to see with trading or anything else. Help???
Have you tried logging out and then back in? Sometimes that helps.
Reminds me of a joke about three guys carpooling home from work. The brakes fail while they’re going down a hill, and they wind up in a ditch — shaken, but unhurt.
The first guy, who’s a manager, says “We need to have a meeting to get approval to conduct a focus group to find the best way to get out of this mess.”
The next guy, who’s an engineer, says “That”ll take too long, and besides, those things never work. I’ll use my Swiss Army knife to strip down the braking system, isolate the fault, and have it fixed in no time.”
The third guy, who’s in IT support, says “Well, before we go to all that trouble, let’s push it back up the hill and see if it happens again!”
I am having the same problem. I tried in both Firefox and IE. I logged out and logged in as well. I don’t see the forum groups at all.
I know how you feel as I have the same problem too. It won’t work on my iPad, laptop or pc. I have logged in and out, tried new usernames, clearing caches, updating ie, updating and even resetting iPad to factory conditions. Nothing seems to be working. Met is trying to help. Does anyone else have ideas?
Cool, let’s go check it out!
