Question... after the cutover, will links to postings on the old forum still work?

A bit of initial feedback... 1. It's looking great! 2. A "favicon" upgrade would be nice, the current one is a bit dated and grainy. 3. I didn't (yet, anyway) get email from a password reset request. My mail server uses greylisting which rejects the first email from a new sender with a...

I noticed a couple of threads where if you click on a higher numbered page, or "Last", you get the same lower-numbered page. Like the internal post count is higher than the actual post count. A couple of examples: https://bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=542611&page=100...

Before moving to the Land of Oz I had Google Fi, and that continued to work well even after the move. But after a year or so Google got tired of giving me data roaming at the US rate, and I gave up on Fi and switched to a local SIM and cellular plan. For several reasons I still needed my US...

Today I noticed the IRS "Get My Payment" portal that's supposed to let you check the status of your stimulus payment, and let you enter bank info for direct deposit of it, is finally online. However when I click Get My Payment and enter SSN, DOB and address, I get the message "Payment Status...

Here's one of me and my wife in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago. Most street art is caricatures, but here we requested something more "realistic" and the artist was happy to oblige.

As in the clock seems to be an hour ahead. :)

With my Android camera app there's an option to take a picture as a "photosphere". This is a fully panoramic picture of basically everything you can see when standing in a particular spot. There are also specialized cameras for this. I worked out a way to support these in phpBB and surely...

I have a 2016 CB500XA and the throttle response is pretty abrupt at low speeds. Getting on in years :afm199 I'd like to have better speed control on tight curves and/or gravel. Any suggestions?

I've been working on a new forum for expats in Australia. This led me to search for a way to include pictures from Google Photos in forum postings with a direct URL, not one that links to my Google account and the other pictures in it. I found a way to do this and wrote it up here. Enjoy!

... and bring a freshly wiped phone with only the bare essentials installed. https://9to5mac.com/2019/07/03/spyware/

I tried to put the word "I'm" in my custom user title and it shows up as "I'*". Similarly "I m" shows up as "I *". Is m a censored word? :laughing

Some pics from Sunday before last. I decided it would be good to take a 7-hour day trip to Glen Innes and back on a loop of scenic countryside. Most of these are snapshots from the helmet camera. On the A1 motorway. That's *kilometers* per hour. :) Australians don't seem to understand that...

Greetings from the East coast of Australia! I've been moto-less for nine months and finally picked up a second hand 2016 CB500XA two days ago. It's in perfect condition, bone stock, never dropped, 3400 miles. A good deal for me, the owner was underwater on the loan and wanted to get out of it...

We've upped and moved to Australia, so had to sell the Weestrom. Soon it will be time for a new ride. Yep, they drive on the left. And yep, they allow "filtering" :) but only when traffic is not moving. :( And it's tomorrow here. :laughing
