Why not make it red and yellow, just like the fastest proflex!

Everyone knows the blue ones are slower.

I have a Purple one........by your reasoning, that should make it faster than a Blue one, but not as fast as a Red one.

A spurious theory, I would have to say- I'm equally sh*te on any colour.

Scientifically proved, that is................

Well, looks like the testing is all coming up roses, so I'll probably run the upgrade pretty soon.  Unless something nasty pops up, I figure I'll run the upgrade and switch over on Jan 1st.

if we lose all the old posts thats too bad,but it would sure be cool if the old files and  how toos and links could be retaimed.I would also like orange and shovelon to be made mods perhaps in leui of carbon kiwi and dawn patrol who dont seem to be here much lately...
happy to help if I can :-)

Don't forget that archive.com keeps a backup copy of the old site anyway if we lose pages.

Not to worry, I don't think I've ever really lost a page... sometimes the links to them have changed, but the information is still all there.

I'll definitely migrate the left hand menu and all it's stuff.  Among other things, archive.com is likely to maintain a better backup for us if we actually keep the files online!

PS: I've added orange and shovelon as mods, too.  Feel free to bug me if you have any questions about how the extra commands work, guys.

I should probably get that setup in the new forum software as well, doesn't exactly make much sense to learn the mod commands for software that we are going to shut off in a couple days!

actually one thing i really like about this software is its really really easy to delete a whole page of bogus registerees....If you call up the members pages Dave you will see the far right column for most of us has information showing.Bogus members show no information.I have the members page showing and in another window i have the "view and delete members" page,I tick every member who has no information showing in he far right colum,so it takes about 10 seconds to delete 35 bogus members...

Ahh now theres a bike that will leave all those slow heavey blue ones behind!

With all that uber-heavy blue pigment removed, i bet your bike is now 20Kg lighter!
Unfortunately though, unless you paint it with the lighter than air red and yellow paint, your bike will still be a bit slower.
