    Also, what color are you using for the site? I really like the red but it definitely is slower to load than the other colors due to all the additional graphics and etc. if you are using red, try changing to one of the other colors and see it that works better for you. I can tell you that this site is not generally slow.

    I may not be understanding what you are saying but the forum has always had the time out function and it is set the same as it was before. it is set to automatically log a user out after 30 minutes of no activity. As long as you are doing something within 30 minutes, it shouldn't log you out. If you are idle for 30 minutes, it will log you out. That hasn't changed. Are you clicking the "remember me" button when you log in? If so, you shouldn't have to login again ever unless you logout manually or clear your cookies. If you are doing all of that and it is still making you login again, then you have something different in your browsers security settings that is automatically learning your cookies or something.

    My seat is headed to Rick this weekend also. Looks like he is going to be busy.

    Looks good to me. I would take it for a ride. If the clutch basket isn't screaming, I wouldn't worry too much about anything else.

    Click on Community it the small menu bar. Then "members list". Then on the far right, advanced search. You can then search by state.

    You can collapse it so that it doesn't show. Also, I think that if you don't go there or after you do and then are idle for a while, the sounds will stop. Haven't confirmed that though. Really doesn't matter. If people like it, I will spend the money for the "pro" version and that one includes User settings to turn off the sounds or even completely remove the shout box.

    It can post emoticons. Not sure about pictures. I know you can post them using BBCode.

    OK..I enable it again. We'll give it a few days and see what the consensus is. It has some advantages over the other chat room. Primarily it is easier to use, no logging in and out and it should work for everybody regardless of what device they are connecting with. The downside is that it doesn't have the slick look of the other one.

    The thing is, we already have a chat room. We really don't need two. This one is better in that it will work from phones, iPads, etc. but it's not as pretty as the one we currently use. If there is a vote, it will come down to one or the other. I think that having two would be too confusing.

    I can set the permissions to be viewable by everyone. Many of those "guests" are bots though.

    I haven't removed it completely, just disabled it to see if anybody cares. I can flip the switch at anytime to turn it back on. Just didn't get much feedback on it.

    Well, I've turned it off for now. Seemed to be no love for the Shoutbox so I guess it will just go away. I'll try to find another way to irritate you all.

    You folks are all complicating this way too much. The reason is very simple. Yamaha ships these bikes to the dealer in crates. They CB is pre-installed by Yamaha under the trunk. The antenna mounts are also mounted at the factory. All the dealer has to do is screw the antennas onto the mounts. Yamaha installs the CB so that the wires exit to the left side and that antenna wire from the CB goes to the left antenna mount. That is the mount that the CB mast needs to be screwed onto. It's easy to verify. Just trace the antenna wire from the left mount and verify that it goes into the black box under the trunk. That is where the actual CB is installed. If the antenna wire goes from the left mount into that black box, THAT is why the CB antenna should be screwed onto that left side. That is the only reason. The bottom line is that the antenna mount that has the cable going into that black box under the trunk is the mount that the center loaded antenna mast should be screwed onto. I've never seen one that didn't come from the left mount. Too many dealers don't know the difference and just screw the masts on to either side.

    It's NOT your computer. I should have mentioned it. The new Shoutbox does that sound to notify when somebody enters it. Will make it user selectable to turn off the sound if I end up keeping it.
  15. Freebird
    And that was a simple but GOOD question. The dealers installed a LOT of them incorrectly.

    Herbert, We like to tease but we don't care about your English. Just do the best you can and we'll figure it out. You are among friends here.

    It can be a combination of things but just using it to test the chat function right now. The old chat room still works. There are advantages to this one in that I think it works across all platforms, iPad, iPhone, Androids, etc. You don't have to login as it logs you in automatically and there is no logout. It logs you out automatically after you are idle for a while. I just thought I would make it available for a couple of days. If people prefer the old one, I will remove this one.

    A few weeks ago, I asked for your prayers for an unnamed member. Well that member is our own one and only Black Owl and he is still in need or our prayers. Russell was admitted to the hospital before Christmas with complications from pneumonia. Things got really bad and to be honest, a lot worse than he really wanted anybody to know. He is doing better now but is still hospitalized and has a ways to go. Please continue to keep him in your prayers.

    It would work if it worked but it didn't so it won't.

    Some of you who have been around since the early days will remember Dan Lowery. Dan was one of the original officers when I started the "Venturers" site. I honestly don't remember if he ever joined this site or not but he and I did remain friends over the years. We rode together a couple of times when I lived in Dallas. I got word today that Dan passed away on January 9th which also happened to be his birthday. Dan was a good man and will be missed by those who knew him. Please say a prayer for his family and friends.

    Well I just did a customization that would give an "audio" alert "You've Got Mail" if somebody sends you a private message. Now I don't know if it works yet because I haven't gotten one since installing it. Then we will see how many people HATE it and whether or not I keep it based upon the feedback. At this point, it is not user selectable so it's everybody or nobody at this time. That is IF it's even working.
