Hi all, Advance notice so you can prepare some conversational topics with your wife ahead of time. In the next few days I will be migrating the website over to a new server. It's been running non-stop on the same server for just over 6 years now and it's time to move it away to a new shiny...

Hi there, Welcome. Got any any pics to share? :)

No worries. Painful not being able to check for updates either

Yup, it's affecting a small number of users and I cannot understand why. It should now be good for all. If you're still getting sporadic errors, let me know.

There's something odd after the upgrade (why would it have been easy???) - several folk have emailed or messaged me saying they are locked out. I'm working on it now and should be back to normal soon.

I found his IP and it had been put in the banned list. It's now cleared so should be good. If he's still seeing it, ask him to clear cookies and all should be well.

Ask him to send you his ipadddress please. Send it via dm. That happens if the system thinks you're being naughty and I'm struggling to work out the false positives.

I quit facebook a few years ago. It was like divorcing a twisted wife. weirdly, I am one of those too. My daughter snaps her friends. It means nothing to me (other than the literal....)

No worries. I'm just stoked it's going all these years later. Domain was bought Feb 2010 after "that other site" owner became a bit of a chop. Cue 14 years on and 3 different versions... we're all still here with loads of new faces too :)

This is the issue which you can't really get around. Two main tactics. 1. Use Spamhaus which I do. When you or I report an ip as spam, they note it. Enough reports, they'll mark it as naughty for a period of time. When a new user signs up here, I check them first against Spamhaus. In the list...

I've also been thinking about that. I can't find a plug in to do it so will look at writing one. Watch this space

yup, good idea. Now done. (ironically, you won't be able to reply to me :) ) I've also made a number of changes which should help. See here: Spammers - more done to try and reduce them - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

I'm sure you've all noticed the spamming folk are having a field day at the moment. There are several protections in place to try and thwart them but some do still get through. Some new things I've added in to try and stop them: blocked certain countries - 9 in total - which do offer nothing...

indeed. I regret selling that. :( Now I have nothing and get scared every time there is snow or lots of rain :lol:

Have you changed it? I cannot see it in the list...

Had a chat to Simon. He's still there but unable to do parts like he used to. Neither able to intro anyone for us at the same scale. Suggested best bet, call up your local parts manager and explain you're from LandCruiserClub and see what happens. YMMV....

Simon was moved out of parts. I'll try find him and see if he's around / able to contact someone else. Another option is Marc (in service) at Steven Eagell St Albans. Tell him LandCruiserClub sent you. He'll be able to help. He and Simon worked together and know the club.

Sorry Steve, I did see your message but got forgotten. I'll answer it now. C

Foreign substances in the fuel?

Welcome BTW :)

A fleet of landcruisers in the DRC - their natural home. I bet there are some hard uses you see them go through.

Really odd. It's the only way I could get chrome to not show the install option.

It's because it's already installed. Assuming your new and old phone where both android? When you move over, android moves your apps too. Swipe up on home screen and search for it? Chrome showed the same view as yours. No install option. I uninstalled the app and refreshed chrome. It now...

Mind sharing a screen print? I've tried it on another phone and it seems OK.

It all depends on your browser. If you are using Chrome, there should be 3 dots at the top right (there are on mine). If you're using FIrefox or another browser, could be at the bottom. Not sure if the moto, like samsung, has it's own, poorly implemented, browser?

Welcome. I bet you have some pictures which will make us jealous. Been many years since I was in the karoo.

Very sad news. He'll leave a huge void here.

That's a bit odd. I'll check it out. I've made some changes to the caching mechanism and had some hickups with that. Might be related. Will let you know.

I think they should be off now?

Oops. Will sort it out! Had to change providers and a few teething issues.

Welcome! IIRC the 150 was 50mph but, if you're worried about max speed then it might be that you don't need the CD locked? You can lock and unlock while on the move so can "manage" the situation.

Rwd 90...

I've looked into these quote a bit with various companies coming to check. It seems they are very good if you have a well insulated house. Mine is old converted barn with high ceilings etc. None of them would recommend their products :( My understanding is they only heat to about 50C which is...

fuck. We got stung with electric in the move. Our electric only jumped to 41.5p/unit. Currently sitting at £393 a month :( Already planning next solar install.

SWAMBO enters the chat...... I choose nothing :( On the plus side, my neighbour has woods with lots of felled trees and supplies me with wood. We're standing around the fire :)

Our local just lifted to £1.79 a litre.... We've recently moved to a house without mains gas and use oil. When we first put in the offer in Jun, oil was around 50p a litre. We're about to run out and forced to pay £1.23+VAT :( It's going to hurt a bit.....

I did. Swapped my 53 plate for the first 150 (the 3.0L D4D). It was, I guess, the same as a jump from 90 to 120. I drove the 120 non-stop from London to Switzerland through some horrendous snow (remember the "wrong type of snow"? I drove that storm). 13 hours, arrived feeling fine. I drove...

I had to rebuild and flush the cache so the first person to hit any thread will "pay the price" as the thread rebuilds. Any already-visited thread should be lightning fast. Give it a while to settle and see if it's still like that next week.

Odd. There was a substantial increase in memory usage after the upgrade so may well be something odd. I'll take a look and see. Any specific thread I can use?

Odd. Not sure. Threads certainly not deleted. There should be an index thread like in the 80s section. Can you find it in the search? I can restick it.

Which stickies Shayne? Certainly didn't un-sticky anything so might be something odd.

Yup - it's the CDN. I use ClourFlare.

we live for the small things heh....

Confused - why / where are you seeing that flag? I can see you're not there.

Sorry @Gav missin - hope you did not have to spend too much time with SWAMBO. Upgrade now done and we're all normal.

We're all done! However, I need to do another upgrade so it will be down for a short while again. A short while he says......

Sorry you went through that. So many atrocities at the moment! Hosted in Germany so if you see them entering the mess we'll have to move it to somewhere stable like Congo.....
