Just a note. If you are somebody, like me, who never actually logs out, you won't be affected. You won't be logged out doe to the cnange. But if for some reason hour DO get logged out, you just won't be able to login using the username.

If you ever actually logout, simply use your email and current password to log in.

There is a change coming to the way that you login to the site. This is not something that I am doing, it is being implemented by the software developer. In the very near future, you will no longer be able to login with your username. You will have to login with your email address. Your username will still show up once logged in but you have to login with your email address.. You can already do that and I recommend that you start doing it now. This is a security issue. Your usernames are known to all and hackers use advanced methods to try and crack your passwords so that they can login under your name. Your email address is not publicly available here so it makes it harder to hack your account. Right now, you can login with your username or password but username login is being removed from the software.

Beautiful work. I'm sure he loves it.

A few weeks ago, I posted that I had finally found and solved the issue with my cruise control not working. Everything on the trike is working great now. I went out to take a short ride a few days ago and the battery was almost dead. I suspect it was because I was starting it a lot while working on the cruise control over a period of as couple of weeks and didn't have the battery tender hooked up. I put the charger on it and it has worked fine since then. Regardless, since I have it up for sale and didn't want to take the chance that a new owner would immediately need a new battery, I went ahead and put a new one on it. Surely not but the old battery looked like it was the original one. All that said to ask this question. Due to having to buy several cases of stairlift batteries per year, I have a corporate account at Batteries +. So I get a bit of a discount on batteries there. I stopped by and picked up a new motorcycle battery and it is a Duracell. I haver never used a Duracell motorcycle battery. It seems fine but just wondering if any of you have ever tried them?

Very nice bike.

I hope that I can make this one. I sure plan to try.

Well here's an update for you all. When I got up at 6:00 this morning, my incoming email looked like a ticker tape. Within about 5 minutes, I have about 3,000 emails. New registrations and posts. I had to shut the site down to stop it. Then I had to change some settings to stop people from auto registering. It is not set to allow registstrration only have my approval. I hated to do that because it means a lot more work. Previously, people could register after filing out the form and then replying to the email. Now they still have to do that but still can't actually fully register and post until I manually approve them. I've already banned approximately 2000 accounts that registered last night. I have about 300 waiting to be manually approved and probably all of them are spam registrations also. After banning all those spammers, I then had to go through every topic area of the forum and delete the spam posts. There were over 2000 of them. I think I've got most but may have missed a few. I'll look closer later on but have to get out of here now to take care of a couple of stairlift servicer calls. I don't know why there are those in this world that just live to screw with other people. I would love to be able to pay them an in person visit. After that, I don't think they would ever do it again.

We got spammed hard last night. I've had to make some changes, at least temporarily, until I get it under control. We have over 1900 new trial members posting crap. I had had to change the rules so that trip members cannot post until I get it figured out. It will take some time to ban all these and delete the content posted.
