OK folks I just had a member PM me with questions about the new V5 conversion and I thought it would be good to share. These are questions and concerns that some of you may have and I can answer each one to let you have a better understanding.


Hi JR - I have tried to follow your new pro boards project , but at this time I am completely confused .
When this program takes effect, does this mean that we have to pay to be a member ? The pro boards thing, I have never understood what that is all about .
I joined at the time when you were just changing over and the whole thing was very confusing .
Is there a way you can put out a explanation ,in very few words that can possibly simplify what you are doing.
I don't know about other members ,but for my self personally ,I have no idea what happens next . I know you have sent out explanations at to this new change ,and you have done a good job in doing that, but for myself ,The pro boards and charges that are posted are away beyond my understanding .
Are we still going to have a" It is The Ride" forum or something very different??


Ok first of all the forum is free and shall remain that way never will be a charge. Proboards is a forum software company/provider that provides us with the programming to build a forum. The current version that we are on which has certainly been a good one is called V4.

V5 which I have mentioned is simply a software upgrade kind of like upgrades one gets when changing from one computer software to another (except W8) o))

This change is again mandatory and if we stay with PB's then we have to change to the new software and their deadline is December of this year. If we don not do it ourselves they will do it for you automatically.

This will still be It is the Ride scooter forum. The test forum that was made is a exact copy of this forum up to the date of when it was copied. Every member that belonged to this forum the day it was copied is on the test forum and if you go there all you have to do is put in your "USER NAME" not your display name and password and then you can look around and even post on the thread I made to ask questions on just like posting here and again free.

If you have joined after the test forum was made then you will have to register again at that forum and just follow the directions.

When the V5 conversion takes place every single member, thread, post and the material here will transfer with it. There will be some things that will not like the banners and such but I'll get all that in when it converts.

Basically all will be the same except more features and options.

I hope this helps.

Maybe it's the hot weather, in my case maybe it's the 13 days in a row in August of rain, but whatever it is sometimes it seems that when you think that everyone is on board and understands the rules of posting here you then have something, someone, some thread, etc. that comes along that shows you that some may not know or have read the rules here.

Yesterday we were blessed with a double shot of it and many thanks to Alley for moving the threads.

I'll not even go in to the details of what, why, etc. of how these threads broke the rules, one started out just for fun and quickly turned south, the other thread went south with just the title.


I'll make this short and simple, if you don't know the rules of what is acceptable material for this forum then the above link explains it in simple easy to understand words and if you're not sure then Doug, myself and the other mods will be glad to answer any PM trying to help you understand.

There are tons of forums around for this kind of material/subjects and this isn't one of them.

We have at the request of members in the past put up a No Scooter Topic category and it has a wide range of allowable subjects and it's my belief that the category is lively, fun and a good thing unless these kind of subjects keep coming up. This isn't the only place this has happened but due to the nature of the category it has happened more on this particular one IMO.

I'm not trying to be ugly and at this point I'm asking all members to adhere to the acceptable subject material that follows the rules. Let's show everyone in the scooter world that this is a friendly, fun, polite place
where people want to be.

Sir I'm not being rude but I think this is what you're saying?


Would a motor not get enough vacuum to run gas to the motor if the cases were slightly split? Carb bowl is full, plug is dry just no gas, hitting the motor and I have a beautiful blue spark.


The answer to your question? IMO you would not have very good vacuum if any.

JR

I hand wipe the rollers and use carb cleaner to clean the rest.

JR

Yes I do and I think you're part of it and the admin of this bogus forum with no name.

Thread locked.

Just a short spell ago all remember when we had smilies and banners disappearing because of the new Photobucket band width limit and some may remember me saying that I was looking in to hosting the images/photos on the GogDaddy account Doug got for this forum.

Well today I'm happy to announce we have no images/photos on this forum linking to photobucket caput, nada zero, bye bye!

So hopefully with this change and GoDaddy's good reputation for good service and reliability we'll not see the missing images/photos again.

Thanks to all for their patience and kindness.

JR

Beat you to it Alley and I do agree totally. I have tried to run a censored word list option that is available here and every time I think I've got it where these kind of words won't show up another one hits that I didn't think of or forgot.

It's a shame to have to do this, I hate censorship but I do believe that all will agree that anyone should be able to read here including kids and not have to be subject to bad language and when you think of it to have any conversation it's not necessary.


Should someone see bad language please report it and we'll promptly correct it.
