The technical details go way over my head, but thank you for your graft.

I'm not techy Mike, however please accept my thanks for your endeavor in keeping this forum a fun and informative place to share our collective enjoyment of the big Suzuki and motorcycling in general.

Same here ,didn't understand a word of it, but if it makes our site more brilliant than it already is I'm all for it. Thanks Vlad.

Just for info, the .org was unavailable to me for most of yesterday (30.7.25).  Error message was that the .org was "unavailable to process my request". Reloaded saved home page from my favourites, no change.  Was only able to refresh and see the usual page this morning 31.7.25

I was unable to sign in yesterday and guessed something was being updated.

Same here, I figured something had broke.

[VladTepes]

Thanks all I've been trying to track down the cause. It appears to have resolved but may go up down again. Let's see.

Thank fuck for that, thought it was my computer.

From memory Vlad it was a HTTP 500 error showing. If that's any help.

[VladTepes]

Yeah it was, and I know what it could be in THEORY but in practice none of it makes sense

edit:  It was a PHP call requiring a different version of PHP which has now been adjusted so error should be properly fixed.

Until next time

Such things makes me glad the small forum I run has updates all done automatically by the hosting so it's not my issue.

Mind you we had about 6hrs off-line the day before this place did as their entire european hosting infrastructure went tits up...

[Pommeroy]

Appreciate your graft Mike.
