Site Feedback / FAQ / How to... / Display Names on the Forum
« on: October 21, 2025, 11:30:21 AM »
We've had a load of new members this year (about two per week) so now's probably a good time to remind/advise about the names that show on the posts.

When you register you enter a "Username" which cannot be changed.

However, if you get fed up with the typo or stupid name that you entered (or if you change bikes like I did), you can change the "Display Name in your profile. This is what shows on the forum and is automatically set to your username when you register.

Change it in "Profile" / "Account Settings" / "Name"

This was left in the garage of my daughter’s new house when they moved in a couple of months ago. She gave it to me.
It’s A5 size.

Just pay postage.

Announcements / Avatars

Following the recent server migration, some of you may have noticed that some attachment images and avatars have gone.

I took this up with the hosting company and they admitted that they don't keep the original folders for mote than a couple of days, expecting any issues to be reported to them.
In our case, I was having so much trouble with access, Error 400s, TapaTalk etc that this time had run out by the time I got round to complaining about the missing images.

I have a backup from 2018...   I know, it's the last time I did it.

I've managed to rescue a few and have uploaded them to the individual's profile, but I'm afraid that the others have gone forever.

If you are a member on the USA site, I can probably get Glenn to copy your avatar from there, otherwise I'm afraid you'll have to upload a new one.

Sorry.

Announcements / Apologies from Nurse Julie

I'm posting this on Julie's behalf as she is having serious trouble accessing the site since the server migration.

If you have recently sent Julie a PM and are wondering why you haven't heard back, please contact here via email or telephone as she cannot access the PM system.

Announcements / Recent Site Glitches
« on: April 14, 2025, 08:41:12 AM »
Hi Everyone.

I have recently migrated the site to a new "green" server. I think it uses solar power :)
However, it should be faster than the old one as it is set up to host legacy applications like this.

The migration wasn't bug-free (as you probably noticed) and I'm still getting error messages.

Apologies to the four new members who had to wait for approval. You should be in now.

Also to Mo who has been having access problems. (Is it OK now?)

Desperately Seeking!! / One for the “Rubber Washer” gurus
« on: March 31, 2025, 11:14:30 AM »
I’m hoping one of you guys can help me source a load of replacement rubber washers for my son’s dining chairs.



They are 21mm OD, 15mm ID and 5mm thick. They act as shock absorbers between the trendy plastic bucket seat and the cantilevered legs.

I’m assuming they need to be soft as they squeeze up between two plates. This example is hard as rock and cracked.

I need 24 (6 on each chair).

Thanks in advance.

Steve

Misc / Open / EBay listing spam
« on: December 05, 2023, 07:12:29 AM »
I have reported this company many times for listing violations. Nothing against Yamahas but it irritates me when they appear in my 500/4 search.

Maybe if more people reported it they would act ?
