If you mean 1 million posts in total, I'm sure we're already there (I've done my part - I've got over 6K by now, I'm fairly sure...)

Or, do you mean just in one thread? That would be interesting - but I'd like to hear Glenn weigh in on this first - I don't want to create any more server/list admin headaches for him (but a thread with one million posts would be interesting, and I don't think it's been done before... What say you, Glenn?)

I had a hunch - the factoids started clicking into place after I hit the "commit" button...

Here's another! Some part of me would still like to see a single thread with a million (civil!) posts in it, tho. I honestly don't think it's been done before...

Oh - did you get a chance to check out my torque charts yet, or are you still busy? If you like them, just let me know what NAXJA-specific formatting I should apply (backgrounds, colours, and such) and I can work up a second set for here.

Use a stiff putty knife, and start working from the passenger front corner (a bent screwdriver also comes in handy, for getting the corner started.)

I've gone so far as to take a stiff putty knife and grind a slight knife edge (not sharp, just a two-sided bevel) just for this job - and it makes it rather easier to get to, once you get it started...

I've just done an oil sump as part of my transmission swap (it was leaking anyhow, and I was down there anyway...) and that idea still works well...

I think a million posts in one thread would kill the systems. Sorry.

Yes, I saw the torque charts... you let me slip tooo long, and I forget the deal. But generally if it is excell and you export it to html, it can be used. Even better if you grab the naxja header image and make a "ready to publish" page type thing. :) I am working on the FAQ stuff.... so that may fit in as well.

I thought as much - but it was worth asking.

I'm not exporting from Excel (I get all sorts of artifacts that way that bloat the filesize...) I just hand-code directly into tables. I use Excel for archiving and sorting, but I don't like the way it generates HTML.

I can either send you the raw HTML files - you apply formatting, post them, and send me copies to maintain and update, or you tell me (specifically) what you'll want for here, I apply it, and send you the HTML to post (or you just tell me where to post it.) I can also change links around without too much trouble (advantage of hand-coding - you know how everything works, no?) to complement the FAQ/Tech Archive here as well.

I've got a few more that want doing before I'm out of FSMs, and I'm always on the lookout for manuals I don't have. Also, I've taken the data from the "condensed chart" at the back of each section - one of these days, I want to go through each FSM and get the "in-between" data that doesn't make it to the back.

Natch, I'll only convert the XJ-specific pages, unless you want the ones for YJ/TJ, the 1995ZJ, and the 1969 DJ-5A...

I can also convert the bolt chart I'm working on for NAXJA-spefiic formatting (I don't think I've coded that yet...) and I've got a sticky up in OEM tech asking for more OEM bolt/screw sizes, so I can add them to the list. Same deal there - I use Excel for admin, and hand-code into HTML.

Let me know, hm?

Always with the steadfast clinging to rules, eh? :D

So what are we supposed to do?

:dunno:
