I view at least 3 boards. Have been active on all three and learned from all three. Was disappointed to learn Jon from PC has been blocked from posting here. Prevostcommunity not POG has helped me with problems with my 98XLE build. I'm still trying to work out gears for my rear end. Meritor said they had a 2:92 set for my housing but have not been able to deliver. My rear end guy is still trying. Jon and the guys at PC have been more than helpful also. Anyone understand the Prevost vs other brand riff. It's a bus!! I like them all!!!! Bob
Never knew there was a riff Bob bunch of Prevost owners here and with the prices so low will probably be a lot more over the next few years
To bad about about Jon not being able to post here nice guy and knowledgeable about the Prevost first I heard of that
I did notice the PC board does not link this site from their board that could cause a problem I would think, in fact I don't think the POG,Prevost Stuff or Prevost Prouds link this site either lol almost like they want to separate from the bus nuts but not Jon
GOOD LUCK
I refer to BCM quiet often on other boards and my post are not pulled. If any one has Prevost ? Clifford or any one else can"t answer I will post over there for you. I have had MCI and Prevost myself and worked on many other brands for others. Busnuts are Busnuts. There are toooo few of us to not get along. Off topic? or dead on? Bob
I post on the PC Bob not much because those guys are dead on most of time
good luck
Guess I'm band next! Lots of good guys here!!!Best wishes to all. Bob
Why was it something I said ?
No Clifford; Just open comment. Just venting myself. Don't feel we can loose anyone! I try to stay neutral and do understand what it has taken the powers to be to keep the spammers and hackers out. I/we need all the educated people we can get and all the Questions the new people ask to keep us thinking and growing.With the growth of Prevost owners now= some new electronics that are out of my league. Level-Low was tough! Bob

Bob, don't you dare get your self banned ;D You, Clifford and many others are most certainly those good guys ;) for putting forth the time and effort to help others.
A hearty thanks to all of you!! :)
I am not familiar with any Jon getting banned and looked through the active bans and only see a couple that I don't already know aren't named Jon. I will alert Phil to this thread and maybe he can resolve it.
There are certain blocks of IP addresses that are blocked, mostly from the orient or Russia due to excessive spamming coming from those areas of the world. Every once in a while we learn of an IP that falls in a blocked range but is not over there.
prevostman was/is- his board name. He set up prevostcommunity to bridge a gap (in my opinion) between the home builder and older coach owners and newer/factory prevost owners plus Prevost factory tech support. I see only a positive relationship here. I post there and have referred people to BCM and it's Advertisers on several occasions. They have shared articles to help our members solve their problems. Bob
There isn't any member registration by that name nor any block against that name. If he is experiencing blockage, it has to relate to the IP address issue I described above. Ask him what is ip address is. If he doesn't know, tell him to enter www.whatismyip.com (http://www.whatismyip.com) into his browser's address bar and hit enter. The resulting screen will tell the ip address he is accessing from. PM that to me once he gets that for you.
I agree, it sounds like a good alliance and he sounds like a good and helpful bus nut who would be an asset to the forum community.
My mistake prevosman page 90 2nd down jon w Sorry about that misspelling Bob
There are no bans in effect for him and as near as I can tell there haven't been any. And his IP address that he last connected from (January 2012) is free and clear. I looked at his last few posts and they were all helpful posts. There is no reason he can't post as far as I can see. Unless of course he is now connecting from an ip that is too close to one of those geo-blocks that I talked about.
He is reading this post with interest. I was concerned also because I know both parties involved. You can visit prevostcommunity under general discussions the topic o POG censorship started the discussion. view the site in general. I should drop this and lets get back to business of building and repairing buses. Bob
I would suggest he try posting here again. As I said, I don't see any indication of a ban. And I just searched the moderator board for any discussion about him and there wasn't any (which if there had been a problem, there would be).
One thing I did notice is that the day after his last post was when we had one of the big server failures. Is it possible that he made the post about that forum on January 12, 2012, and then checked back on the 13th and found the server offline - then made an assumption that he had been banned?
In any case, he is definitely not banned now and is welcome to post. Note - that is not to say welcome to actively promote another forum, but there is nothing wrong with occasional non promotional mention of it or including a reference to the site in his sig line. And the occasional helping of a member who can't seem to get registered is fine. Just like you see here regarding BNO or EI.
Thank you for your help! just trying to bring two good guys(in my opinion) together. For the good of both. He is a tech guy like you and can figure it out. I'm still trying to get past two finger typing. Much rather be bustin knuckles--sorry BK. Bob
Bob, Jon has helped me out many times over there. Including several folks on here with my Prevost. Thanks all.
glen s.
Jon is still trying:He got a E-mail saying to re-register and write sentence about buses . His reply; I have owned three Prevost coaches. still no go? His old handle was prevosman and does not work for him. Just a update. Silence----
Hi folks. I'm checking into this and will post back here when resolved as well. Thanks for bringing this up. We'll git 'er going for sure. ;D
Best Regards, Phil
Hi all, I have a prevosman who was last active almost 500 days ago. Does this sound right? If someone would PM me his email address I'd be glad to work directly w/ him to get his old ID up & working again. at the very least I can get him a new 'handle' if he would prefer.
Best Regards, Phil
He is reading-- just can't post. Is helping a busnut changing norgren valves today. I will ck and make sure I can share his contact and pm you direct. It is my understanding he is exchanging e-mails with someone at BCM. By the way prevosman is the one but the site will not let him on for some reason. 2nd down on like page 89 I think Jon W----. He has not been let on for those 500 days. Bob
All is good in bus land. Phil and prevosman have figured out problem. Thank you to all parties involved. Bob
Thanks Phil! Wecome back prevosman. You have helped me several times in the past on the other board.
"Now if I could get that cat to come down and work on my old crate."
And bob, I second that motion. Don't you ever leave here....ever!

My leaving was never a issue to me. Scott you and others are teaching me something new each day! A little misdirection and you got it figured out. Watching roof coating thread close now. The clear coat (roof)on my 98 is peeling in spots. The same problems discussed on other boards/ shared here. Bob
Bob, you mentioned that the boards were "Linked". I'm the admin for MCIBusTalk. How do we link the boards?
Even as an Admin on MCIBusTalk I find both boards very helpful.
Dave
I am on board. I want to thank Phil for allowing me to register.
I am a long term Prevost owner, having had 3 store bought conversions. Over the years I have learned a lot about the Prevost systems and have done my own work on my coaches since the mid nineties. Glad to be here. Special thanks to Bob for his help.
As soon as I figure out how I will create a signature.
