I'm not bothered Bruce! Let me give you a bit of history....... I was a member since 2013, and only a couple of months ago, I assisted them to sort out their database problems, even contacting their hosts to get them to act. (People know me in this industry so I spoke directly to the CEO in the US). Then I helped them to convert their forum from phpBB to IPB. I even chipped in to help them buy their software as well, and organised a whip round from other members to make up the shortfall. I also gave them the Help topics that I created here, advised on forum configuration, addons to get, and showed them how to set up their newsfeeds with full content as we have here, Anybody who was there a few months ago knows that's the case.....I haven't exaggerated or embellished anything. So I did my bit then! And quite frankly if they feel they need more tuition on how to run a forum properly and not treat members in an unprofessional or unethical way, then they're welcome to watch and learn.

Yes I know Pedro! But I wanted to make it clear (after Clive brought the subject up) that nobody can read PM's unless they're a recipient in the message.

I can't! There is no facility in the software that allows that. It doesn't exist and never has! If I wanted to, I could trawl through thousands of lines of database entries in phpMyAdmin on the server......which would take forever to do. And I really don't want to. The mindless drivel that gets written on the board itself is quite enough for me, without spending a day trying to read more.

The only people who can read PM's are the people that are communicating. Not even I can read the PM's.

Very nice!

Yes it appears so! Not sure why they're interested really......but there you go!

I'm sure he'll have asked permission Clive! And did you know we've been watched? I've already matched one IP address to a member of the Management team.

I thought Babycham was your tipple?

Top Man Clive! That'll straighten that millennial motherfucker out!

Tools are highly overrated!

If you ain't livin' on the edge you're taking up too much space Fred! Even at my age I'll take any risk......except Tools! That's a bridge too far!

Send him an incoherent warning PM Clive.......that seems to be the modern method of dealing with things.

No.....I said there was loads of cunts on here!

A lot of people being called Cunts, Bruce showing his ass to Michelle again, Fred fell down some steps and even managed to get it on vid, I'm now a Dead Man Walking because I don't carry a Preppers Survival Kit when I take my bike to the bike wash, and my Beemer's getting a Puck fitted next week!

What you reckon @Clive?

Good to see you Rich.....I had @Swagman and @Clive standing by ready to go in and break you out of the other place! I'd hate to see a young guy like you get bitchslapped by The Man as has happened to @Six30

You certainly look to me like you're pretty bloody capable offroad Fred! Steps of course are a different matter! Maybe you should think of strapping on one of @Bruce's Survival Kits when you attempt those steps again?

I go out to Style and Profile in good weather conditions Bruce......I'm not going into battle in some third world country. In 1971.....I first got out on a bike and rode! 50 years later I'm still doing it. Never broken a bone, never totalled a bike, and never made an insurance claim. And not hit the deck since 78. Yet now I'm a Dead Man Walking!

I see what you mean! But if that is a concern then there's plenty of options to give additional security. There's GPS's with accident alarm features and even apps for your smartphone! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.bikersos&hl=en&gl=US

I'm not playing the hero.....I'm telling you the reality of things. I get told about riding alone now on FB, Bob gets told, Fred gets told.......I'm sure those advisories don't all come with the caveat......"only when you're offroading". The serious carnage invariably happens onroad........the more minor stuff happens offroad!

It's a man's life on a modern Tomos for sure!

Tool?
