• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Did you know?????????

Really. ...😲

Can't post that fast myself and it usually takes me that long to read the next one anyway.....:roflblack: but I do think I saw a warning of that ilk some time ago....:dontknow:
 
Yep, tried a quick follow up to a post about a week ago and was told I had to wait 60 seconds between posts. Why?

Probably to prevent a denial of service attack. A DoS attack is where a source (one or many) flood a specific site with requests in an attempt to deny valid responses to others. By specifying a 60-second requirement between requests the receiving server always has enough time to do its normal responses.
 
:shocked: :banghead:... :D
At 84,844 post, each taking Bob about a minute to type, and at least a minute between each one, then toss in time to eat bacon, that leaves Bob with ............no time to work!
How does he handle it all, he must never sleep???:bowdown:
 
I found that you can correct a post after you submit it rather quickly.

....juts like this in seconds of posting.
 
What I want to know is how and the heck is Bob going to keep up with his Post when he's driving that new Motor-home?

One way to slow down spammers too. No spam program is going to stay on this forum and wait a minute between posts when they can go to a less well run forum and dump a thousand spam messages a minute.
