It's been this way for awhile, hence why I picked up that low mile truck for under half of book price.

Yeah, I've seen them sit all day and all night just to inspect 2 welds on a hot tie in haha. Long but true story, mistakes were made, some not my fault........

Picked up a lil baby brother. Wanted something light for small stuff, the 391 gets heavy quickly! Seems to cut pretty good.

Nice! I love our stihl's!

We have an 044, an 038, and I think an 024 farm boss. I actually like the 38 the most as it has good power but still not real heavy. The 24 is a great lightweight saw for brushing and smaller jobs and is probably the best running saw out of the lot, not that the others don't run well.

The 044 is the work saw, it has cut thousands of feet of ice over its life. I lost count of the bars it has gone threw.

Where is the complaint section of the forum?

I have a gripe about that drop down menu bar at the top of the main page being right above a second drop menu bar.... Whos brilliant idea was that? :/

There are a few pages here that can be referred to as a "main page" so for clarity sake, which main page do ya mean? The home, opening page for FTE? The main Excursion forum Page? The main SuperDuty page that the Ex forum is a sub forum to?

Better yet, can you attach a screen shot to remove all confusion?

Put a new starter in and had the same problem, turns out somewhere in the cable running from the battery to the starter had an issue (all of a sudden). We replaced the cable and she fired right up! Finally got it home last night. It's going to be a busy weekend between the Subaru I'm helping a friend sell, getting the F-350 cleaned up and ready to sell and hopefully getting my '97 Explorer back from the transmission shop next week. Not enough hours in the day it seems...

On the forum main page with all the different sections. I think it also is the same in any of the separate sections as well.

Like this page, notice the black drop down menu over the second blue drop down menu.





I open fte, try to go down with mouse to "User CP" and the black drop down menu always pops open covering the second blue drop down menu. Then I try to move the mouse around or to the right to get off the black menu and it just keeps opening up sub menus. Like in this pic:

Andy, the same thing happens to me frequently when on my ipad, my screen is super sensitive and I just figured between that and my fat fingers that was the problem.

I only play on the net on a labtop (laptop?) puter. We don't have any fancy phones, ipads, or notebook thingies around here. I always feel that is the reason I tend to have more odd problems than other people.

Ah, ok, yeah, irritating aint it? When it happens to me, I just move the mouse pointer down and to the right to get the pointer off of the "black field" of drop down menus.
