Haha, I will probably be asking you for lots of help then ;-)

Thanks for the feedback @Imanupstart, I'm still trying to get used to the new layout and some new functionality.. but feel it's much better. As for the content being blocked out from the drop down navigation, what browser are you using? I'm sure we are going to have a few teething issues over the next couple of weeks whilst everything settles :-( Cheers Alex

There's still a few issues but we are nearly there...

Hi everyone, the forums are about to be updated shortly, unfortunately there will be some downtime. AND a loss of branding until the templates are sorted out, I believe the new functionality and ease of use will be worth it. If any one has any issues please let me know. I will be updated our facebook page once all is running correctly so please go there to check for updates. Cheers Alex

Registration Costs & Benefits: http://yamahaclub.com/forums/store/

barkwindjammer, you have a great point. One which has been meaning to be sorted out for a while, there needs to be a page that details the sign up options and benefits. This has been delayed as a different registration process exists on the new version of the forum software which will be rolled out shortly.

I really love the look of that bike, I don't know anyone who has one so can't give you any tips either

Cheers guys. I spent the last few days celebrating, with multiple steaks, wine tour of the hunter valley and diving long reef :-)

Hiya, thanks for the feedback. Completely understand that there needs to be a page with clear pricing and benefits. I have just been putting it off as I knew that there was a new version coming out of IPB, and have so many other changes which are going to be needed, is at the bottom of the list. IPB3 has just been released, once the other modules which this board runs are converted the forums will move to IPB3, once the upgrade has been complete and the reskinning that will be first on the list. Cheers Alex

What the hell was that?

Thanks for the self moderation there, I am rather curious however

THat's great. I love the last part when he's spining round with the bike

That's fantastic!

Lets hope it's not raining! Looks easy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_7EzztxBx0...feature=related

All fixed. Let me know if you have any problems.

Just an update to let you know that we are currently working on the photo gallery to get it back up and running, ETA 12 hours. You can access the Gallery here: http://www.yamahaclub.com/forums/index.php?autocom=gallery

Hi we've just installed live chat functionality for paying members, you can access the live chat from the navigation at the top of the page. We may upgrade the functionality of this software depending on how it is used and what your comments are from using it, so please keep us updated with your thoughts. If you would like to upgrade your membership to take advantage of this new chat functionality please upgrade your membership from within your control panel. The additional benefits of upgrading are the use of the photo gallery, the garage and further functionality with messaging and storage, and discounts with various motorcycle parts and accessories dealers.

They are using people to get around the captcha, and then running bots once the account has been setup. Unfortunately there is no real way of actually stopping this, even manually approving all registrations wouldn't help. The best we can do is to monitor PM/Email usage and add flood control to the forums which will only allow users to send so many messages per hour. It's a little annoying though when responding to several PMs, I've even set this up on my admin account to ensure that the forums are as safe as possible. We're also looking at adding live chat functionality which should help with internal board communication. Watch this space :-)

Darren, that's a great idea. I never actually thought about using the facebook group for messaging when the site is down. I will do this in the future, see you on facebook :-)
