If anybody is wondering, @rugedraw has been instrumental in helping countless F150 owners over on the F150Forums make heads or tails about the OTA and Power-Up condition of their trucks.

Hey, buddy! Glad to see you made it over here! :crackup:

Granger wants that $15K per delivery! :)

You're not going to be successful with a lemon law buyback for a NVH issue (rattle).

It only took the better part of 151 messages for you to post something I agree with ... :crackup:

It doesn't work that way.

Leave your charge on however long you want to ensure it's fully charged. Remove the charger. Wait 20 seconds. Reattach your charger. Surprise! It will blink and NOT be solid.

I'm thoroughly convinced that there are members on these forums who would complain even if you hung them with a brand new rope. If it isn't your cup of tea, so be it. Move along.

I recall it, but that was just a little before my time ... :)

I just now realized that, while I've got my update schedule set in my F150, I never set it up in the Dark Horse ... :cwl: :cwl: :cwl:

I ran T.A.G. multi-line under DESQview/MS-DOS, and then Maximus multi-line under Linux. IIRC, I had six or seven phone lines coming to the house during the board's heyday. I recall that other BBS software, and many more. I don't remember why, but I hated Searchlight. T.A.G. was an offshoot...

No, no. vBulletin was/is web-based discussion forums. Commercialization of the Interwebz and products like vBulletin is what helped to usher in the end of the (awesome) BBS days ... 😢 My years as a SysOp of a multi-line, FIDO-enabled BBS started back in 1990 and lasted through 1996. I ran...

I'm well aware of that. I ran a popular discussion forum using vBulletin going all the way back to the mid 2000's. Thanks.

Yea, I'll probably just 'ignore' any accounts that post the same exact messages 3+ times in a row. Problem solved.

My point still stands. It's annoying AF.

The schedule is for when the vehicle will APPLY the update, not when it will download them.

Did you need three copies of every single identical message to complete your research? I'm betting not.

Not really. I just point out annoying, non-constructive behavior.

5-10 years? When's the last time you searched for something for your 2014 Mustang? If you wait about 20 minutes and google something in THIS post, Google will return it. No need for elevendy billion posts of the exact SAME message on the SAME message board but in three different forums, just...

You don't' have to watch any group. When you arrive at the site, click the "new posts' link (to see everything that's been posted since your last visit). Now enjoy two or three sets of 3 or 4 identical messages show up in the list of new posts. Not necessary at all.
