    Default Is It Just Me?

    Or does it seem that the number of folks posting and asking for advice that do not include the year and model of their Spyder is increasing? One would think that this would be a no brainer, yet even with reminders from members and admins, I frequently see new posts where the OP does just that. Just sayin'......

    There is some of that going on.

    Your advice is very good. Some people have their vehicle listed in the information about themselves and we have to look for it.

    If you are new here, we can help you much better if the year, and model of your Spyder are mentioned. Not all Spyders are alike. These days we are also dealing with three different engines. All of which are a little different.

    Still waiting for the separate category for the 2020 & Up ..... Then there would be much less confusion.

    I think a lot of that just comes from people who don't realize not all Spyders are the same. For example they don't realize that a 2013 Spyder has a different engine from a 2014. I see the same thing in FB Spyder Groups. They list items for sale but don't list the price or location.

    Many can help themselves by just getting out the operator's manual and READ.....

    Me too. Pre 2014, 2014 thru 2019, and 2020 and newer. I believe this would be more helpful in the long run.

    I don't see any reason to get up in arms if someone doesn't want a signature - it all pays the same.

    If you don't like those with no signature containing which Spyder they have just don't reply to them.

    Not getting up in arms about anything, if someone chooses not to disclose the year and model of their Spyder or Ryker, that is of course their choice but then no one will be able to help them. So why ask in the first place?
