Housekeeping: Yes, We Know About the Tech Problems
We’re aware of the login issues and have sicced IT on the case. Maybe you think we’re not aware, but that’s because sometimes we have trouble logging in, too.
We’re working on it. Please be patient while we get the site back to full speed.
As always, feel free to contact us when you notice tech issues and we’ll do our best to fix it.
That’s all for now. Carry on and be nice to each other, kids. The weekend is almost here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I'm thinking it's my machine at work, but I can't load new stories regularly/occasionally. I'll come to the site main page and it will be a version of several hours ago or yesterday. The number of comments showing on the main page will be the same as the last time I visited. The only way to see content has changed is to go into a story (which will be up to date) and click on a recent comment on the sidebar to take me to that newer story. A couple times I was able to click on the header and take me to the updated main page, but the last few times trying that hasn't worked. There are also times when it will revert to a previous version than the last time I saw it updated. Clearing cookies also fixed it once, but not another time I tried it. This only seems to happen on this site. Sorry if this has been addressed already.
I've never seen it mentioned but I don't follow comments closely all the time. I have no issues logging in but often the front page of the site shows that the newest article is from days ago. New content is non-existent. If I refresh the browser 5-10 times the newer articles will pop up. I have it happen in Chrome on both my laptop and my Android's Chrome browser. I'm sure you're already aware but just throwing it in the mix.
I had only a day or two of sh!t service from TTAC. Oh, yesterday? I think I logged in after I had just made a comment an hour or so earlier and the articles started at a different time and place in history! Back to the Future! it was.
I've had so many login problems over the years, I haven't bothered to post very often. Here I am, though, so maybe I've solved it.
