If you read THIS post, you'll learn a bit more about this.

Adding Maps to Signatures

Many members like to show the states they've ridden in. This thread should help with instructions on how to show those maps. http://www.st-owners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41237

Security Token Message ??

This usually occurs when uploading pictures to the site. The site has file size and picture dimension restrictions but must upload the pic to the server first before checking those attributes. When a picture is too large for the server to handle, the security token message will be shown. Please reduce pictures to less than 400k in size and no bigger than 1000x1000 pixels.

So Many Sub-Forums, why?

Searching is the main reason.

Say you want to find some specific information on handlebars, windshields or lighting. If you search the entire site you'll find every post with those words.

Having many categorized sub-forums allows a member to search a very specific area to find the most useful information available. Otherwise, it could be frustrating searching through common discussion posts to find the intended information. Some have stated they believe that posting in one of the many sub-forums will not get the visibility of say posting in the general sub-forum, however, most members on the site do not view the side one sub-forum at a time, they use the 'New Posts' or 'Unread Posts' links. Those are search tools that list the new activity on the site in a chronological order,- newest posts first', regardless of the actual location of the post.
