I am working on this right now. All the data is together - I think that we should just merge them into one rather than have two different boards. Thoughts?

Hi, You might have to clear your web browser's cache. Just tried and it works fine.

The Ford C-MAX Hybrid Forum will be back online tonight (26 Dec) - we're working on it as we speak. ?

We only have x-amount of resources available, so we simply chose to upgrade the sites that were the oldest (with the most content). Love the C-MAX and in fact, a good friend of mine was involved with the program. I suppose we could up a PayPal donation link to get to the $70.00, although it's seems a little cheap. ? I did try to merge the two Fusion sites (Hybrid and Energi) together, but the Fusion Hybrid site fought tooth and nail (for 2-days) until I caved in and brought them back as two different sites. We will merge them into one now that they are both up and stable. ALL of the data for both C-MAX sites exist and are preserved 100%. I will try to merge them into one site over the next few days to see if we can bring it back as one entity. If not, we'll have to bring them both back as two different sites as was done with the Fusion Hybrid and Energi.

I also posted this on the Ford Fusion Forum - Is there any interest in a Ford Fusion Registry? A registry would allow owners to create a historical record of ownership for your Fusion. Thoughts?

As some you might remember, we attempted to upgrade this site last week, however, failed. Rather than go for round two, we asked the software manufacture to upgrade it and two days later, they couldn't do it either. This was ironically accompanied by the server's Apache crashing for a little while today :ohsnap: We were able to piece everything together to get the site back up and running again (10:00pm, est ish) and we don't think we lost any data at all. :victory: Backing your data TWICE is most helpful!

We experienced a database issue yesterday and believe that we have recovered everything = 0 data loss. While we continue to restructure everything, you may experience some site "oddities" until about 4:30pm, est @ 08 July 2016. After that time, we should be stable again with a little speed bump. :happy feet: It pays to back up your data like religion.

THANKS for everything that you've done for the Ford Fusion Hybrid community! :hi5: We're certainly going to miss you on the site, but PLEASE take the time to stop on by once and a while and say hi and let us know how you're doing! :thumbsup:

Ford teases Fusion hybrid; expands EV research globally Ford teased media with the next-generation Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid under wraps until next month's 2016 North American International Auto Show. The car was hidden under a tarp at an event in Dearborn to announce that Ford is expanding battery research and development for electric vehicles with facilities in Europe and Asia. Expanding the work globally enables Ford to better use the work being done in Michigan at Ford's Dearborn campus as well as through a partnership at the University of Michigan. In May, Executive Chairman Bill Ford announced plans to hire 200 engineers this year to work on electrification programs in the new lab the automaker built in Dearborn. Ford has added 120 engineers so far, the company said today. Ted Miller, senior manager of energy storage and research, said the lab sees a lot of improvements possible for lithium ion batteries over the next decade in both efficiency and cost. READ MORE HERE

Here is the answer that I received: EcoStart is not supported for hybrids; however, there are still lots of other great features that will work on these cars such as lock/unlock, Immobilizer, Advanced Diagnostics and much more

Are you on Mac or Windows? I tried on a Mac and it worked with command print.

Some of these upgrades seem to break things more than fix things! Will fix that one tomorrow.

I was able to change my avatar now, so everyone else should too. Also, you can now use a .gif animated avatar/profile picture :)

Turning the site off for about 30 minutes today @ 2:20 to fix this issue. THANKS for reporting it.
