I may upgrade the board today. There's some newer software out.
So, it may be down for a while once underway. Then, I get to figure out what still works and what's broken.. LOL

Since you did the upgrade, my bike now pulls to the right. Please reinstall the previous software so I don't have to lean to the left.

That one is on the list too...
This was a major upgrade so there's some clean up from older versions and takes a little bit to weed through some of it to get there.
Keep up the comments and I'll get to everything sooner or later.

Off topic, but Joe, I love your latest posting photo. I had that happen to me once while riding in California. A pick up truck driving in front of me, under an overpass, hit a duck in flight, if went over its roof and got me right in the windshield, SPLAT. :eek: No injuries or damage (except to the duck). It certainly made an impression though.........

Is that different from replying to 'other' posts? That's a strange issue. Can you do a screen print - (alt + print screen then post in word document or in paint and attach to a reply) ?

I lost my "favorite smilies". Also, I used to get a black helmet to the left of a thread indicating I had read the thread. Now the little envelope turns a pale lavender shade and that only works about half the time.
All in all, no big deal.

There are essentially 2 galleries at the moment... the Add-on 'Gallery' and the new 'Albums' ..
The Gallery link on the top right section of the site is the OLD one and it will slowly be phased out.
The Album link will show up in your usercp as well as the camera icon under your avatar. Any pics there will show up on the random homepage section.
I know it's not a nice clean cutover but no one has created a script to do so.. if they do, I'll run it but for now, it's a manual thing.

Not at the moment, it's a pretty basic setup.. I'm sure that will be an add-on mod that someone used to coding this stuff will come out with soon.. I'm keeping my eye out for it. You pretty much need to load them in backwards order. I'll see if there's a quick way to sort by file name as that's chronological for most people.

I hope not because I considered it to be a great usability feature. Can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks
