Y'all need a clean slate. That's so very true and I think the best way to accomplish that would be for scoutmaster to refrain from posting in gashole's thread and GasHole refrain from posting in scoutmaster's thread. How about it guys? To be fair, that isn't how a clean slate works. In a thread as straight forward as this is, being civil while disagreeing on a couple of minor points (commas, "beta track", registered members) shouldn't require folks to grab their pitch forks...

Version 6.0.11 21205 updated Feb 15, 2019 is out.
I'm on the beta track, and as of now, I suspect it is beta only.
WHAT'S NEW: Bug fixes and optimizations.
I think the latest general is still: 6.0.10 21203 WHAT'S NEW: Introducing a new fresh look for the Win tab!

I still have 6.0.10 21203, so ...204 and ..205 must be beta. Changes I've noticed lately to the map include stations on the "Verified" program having their prices outlined in GB teal when their icons are tapped, and the newest change there is cents-off Gasback deals for Pay with GasBuddy users highlighted in red. Oh, and I've also noticed a tendency to go the the My Car page if I've just paused at a station long enough to get gas. Not sure if it's an automatic app response, or if I just hit the My Car button by accident. If nobody else notices that, it must be the latter.

I'm on the beta track, so could be beta only or could be general.

MadFueler , I haven't noticed a tendency to go to the My Car page on my phone. Wonder if it's a phone issue? Take a look at all the subjects GasHole posted in and then look at the extra effort gashole put in to edit those posts. And I get accused by gashole of posting off topic.

So - anyone know what's the deal with gashole's signature? Did he fall asleep on his keyboard or is he deliberately trying to make the threads he participated in unreadable?

Back to topic...the ability to D/L Fuel Log is a nice idea that I would consider using. So, just an honest question - you're OK with this thread (and any other gashole has posted in) being nearly unreadable?

So, just an honest question - you're OK with this thread (and any other gashole has posted in) being nearly unreadable? First, let me say, I find both scoutmaster and GasHole very annoying these days and would not miss either one. I also saw you post about GasHole's signature. The funny thing is, I don't see what you described in your topic and don't have to scroll due to his signature so I am a bit confused about that. Maybe that is a benefit of being a "guest" :-) Maybe Guests don't see some of the "fancy" stuff?
You have mentioned the "Beta Track" issue several times and it was scoutmaster that got all bent out of shape about the use of that word. It goes back to the old boards where he didn't get along with a number of individuals. I didn't see you in those topics, but remember he would argue meanings of words to the point that someone (?? ByteDoctor) coined a term "SML" (Scout Master Lexicon). There was a hilarious topic where the discussion went on and on about possible vs probable and impossible vs improbable. There was also a topic where the versions were argued because if you are BETA and check the Play Store from any device that is affiliated with Gasbuddy (runs the app, or logged into Google under same ID as device running GasBuddy Beta), you will only see the BETA version. As for the Beta Track - back in this topic, as I recall, there was a paste from the Beta Board where the GASBUDDY OFFICIAL analyst/product person used the term Beta Track. There was no reason to call out anyone for using that term. And I think the term is not that hard to parse even if one has not seen it used before.
The scoutmaster had many arguments with many members over in a set of ~ four topics that I don't remember you being present in (or at least not routinely) over on the old boards and he has carried that over his issues there to this board.
He makes a lot of assumptions and statements as fact that he cannot prove. In fact, one member I know was able to get permission to have a second GasBuddy account as long as that person never entered any gas card contests because of scoutmaster - thus being able to participate in GasBuddy APP and still keep the original name for PMs and communications with other members so that the new ID would not be known to scoutmaster. And I find those who don't register annoying. Why won't you register BETA-Gasbuddy? If you did register, you would see that GasHole has made his signature so long, it takes up almost and entire page of posts. And gashole accuses me of posting off topic Yes "Beta Track" is s common term, but not anywhere on the old site or in the mobile apps. I carried none of the crap from the old boards here, BETA-Gasbuddy. Mr. and BP (formerly known as Roteque) started attacking me in the poll gashole posted to get me banned. That subject should have been deleted and gashole sanctioned. What assumptions and statements have I made, BETA-Gasbuddy, that I can't prove? I do know who you are and the 2nd account you had.

How am I any more restrained from what I post just because I have registered? Mudrunner is not my real name and scoutmaster is not yours. You can ignore a registered user, but I'm sure you would not. Furthermore, although I am registered, I am not experiencing whatever you and weaselspit are regarding gashole's signature. You are correct ""Beta Track" is (a) common term". It is a common concept regarding what version of an app you download. It is not necessary for it to be used within the text of an app before it is approved for common use within conversations about the app. Your repeated attacks on all who have used the term is bullying. Although I think the poll went too far, I do believe that there is a large population that think you are a bully and are a master at pissing people off. Maybe if the poll had been worded along those lines, we would have seen a different result. I agree with Beta-Gasbuddy that we got to this point because of a lack of communication.

Just got 6.0.11 21206 a couple days ago on both devices. Haven't noticed any major changes to presentation or performance since the last ones I posted in - now which of these threads was it? Anyway, something I've noticed in general for some weeks (maybe months) is that it's taking hours for new or reactivated stations to appear in the app, and seems to grow longer. That may, however, be a back end issue and not one with the app itself.

I just calls them as I sees them, Mudrunner1976 (NE_Ohio) . What good would it do? Probably none Take a look at @gasholes profile. See if you see it there. On the GB site, I always tried to refer to the topics and terms as they were written there. Sorry. Like I stated, I calls them as I sees them. Still, that poll was way out of line.

So, just an honest question - you're OK with this thread (and any other gashole has posted in) being nearly unreadable? First, let me say, I find both scoutmaster and GasHole very annoying these days and would not miss either one.
I see where GasHole deleted a bunch of his posts in another topic. He was out of line in posting the poll, and has inflamed the scoutmaster wars and kept them alive. Reading through the topic that has now been cleansed of his posts, I think scout and GasHole got off on the wrong foot because they ASSumed they knew what the other was saying and were wrong and rather than asking for clarification or more data in a civil manner, they went to battle mode.
I also saw you post about GasHole's signature. The funny thing is, I don't see what you described in your topic and don't have to scroll due to his signature so I am a bit confused about that. Maybe that is a benefit of being a "guest" :-) Maybe Guests don't see some of the "fancy" stuff?

Now - I would like it very much if MudRunner would start a clean topic and that everyone put these past fights behind and stick to talking about GasBuddy updates and functions and not criticize those that have different opinions of how something works....discuss but not try to belittle and make comments about commas. Commas may not be a big thing, and I don't think anyone implied it was a huge thing, but consistency in use of commas in number values makes for a more professional presentation.
It'd be great to see this group move past the petty infighting that was escalated by gashole. I was a daily contributor in the NFL topic that he participated in You'll never stop people from posting differences of opinion (beta track, commas, registering) but people also don't have to take these differences of opinion so personally. I would wager that if you just ignore it, scoutmaster wouldn't push the issue on his own. When you respond, you are indicating you are interested in engaging in a debate on the issue. As an outside viewer with no history in teh other threads you were referring to, I didn't view scoutmaster's posts here to be that inflammatory to begin with (beta track, commas, registering). I didn't read any hostility in his posts, just posting his difference of opinion - even if on something small and insignificant like terminology. Just some perspective...

You just made Mudrunner's point about scoutmaster. It is him that kept bringing it up. It is him that is obsessed with it being used. He thinks that all guests are folks he didn't get along with before, be it Txjeans, several he has mentioned from the mid west such as Rich,or ByteDoctor or several others that participated in a group of about four topics on the old boards. He even posted in one topic (from what several told me) that he intended to treat the new year as opportunity to disrupt. The behavior was documented in other forums outside of GasBuddy with links to posts in various other forums. The flare up between him and GasHole started in another topic where scoutmaster responded to the opening post (without quoting) when there was active discussion of subtopic that had developed in the thread/topic. GasHole misunderstood scoutmaster and they both went into fight mode. It carried over to here. I didn't start this feud. GasHole did. ByteDoctor has an account on this site. So does vgrewe. TxJeans and Rich don't. So no I don't think all guests are folks I didn't get along with. What topic did I post "he intended to treat the new year as opportunity to disrupt."? There was no misunderstanding. gashole went right into attack mode. And, BETA-Gasbuddy, you never answered my question as to why you won't sign up for this site?
