    How resilient are the new safety camera trailers?

    Thread Starter: jellywrestler

    New trailers out there, won't belong before someone takes aim at one, or sets out to destroy a lot in one hit, of course there will be supervision cameras worth thousands in the, but balaclavas are pretty cheap too. Whose gonna be first to deal to one?

    Helmet standards

    Thread Starter: SaferRides

    I bought a new helmet recently and noticed that it meets the updated ECE standard, 22.06. I was reading some reviews as I had a problem with the visor, and found out that Shoei make two quite different models for the US and the rest of the world, the RF1400 and NXR2. So it all comes down to a...

    Michelin Road 6

    Thread Starter: SaferRides

    I fitted a set of these to the R1 last April. They've now covered 11,000 km during all 4 seasons and now is probably a good time to post a few comments. Like me, you may have assumed the Road 6 is simply an evolution of the 5, as they look similar. But they feel very different on the R1. The...

    Sprockets

    Thread Starter: diesel pig

    What is the best way to look for Sprockets online? I have a old Suzuki with a weird 525 size which with modern chains is outkill. I want to go a 520 or a hign quality 428 chain. But if I go with the 428 size I would have to work out what sizes I will need to get the right final drive ratio. If I go...

  • Kiwi Biker upgrade to vB4 Suite.

    Over 6 hours. That's gotta be the longest an upgrade has taken.

    This upgrade is a work in progress, as there is still much to do. I have modified the code for my Trader, Calendar, Event Attendance, Image Browser & Censor mods to work with the new software, but have still to do the following:

    Quote Notification
    avatar/profile pic censoring
    Profile Rep Stats
    Fallen Bikers page
    JavaChat Integration
    Force Style for Selected Users or Groups
    PM Reply to all
    Flame Warrior

    Mods awaiting an update
    Advanced Forum Statistics
    Social Group Calendars
    v3 Arcade
    vBTubePRO
    KB Spy
    Wiki single login


    The old Dark Zone style is not compatible with the new version. As soon as I find a dark style I like, I will add it to the site.

    All your images from Blogs, Social Groups, Albums and Posts are now in a central pool which is controlled via an enhanced attachment uploading window. You may need to enable it your settings.

    Image censoring has also changed. Now all iffy images need to be in a folder called "pr0n". You can have as many pr0n folders as you like anywhere in the folder tree. Again you may need to enable enhanced attachment uploading in your settings. So yes, you will now need to go through all your images and drag & drop all the naughty ones into a pr0n folder.

    Until I've sorted the Wiki single login, you will need to login to the Wiki seperatly using your KB login name. New Wiki accounts have also been disabled. If you have content to add to the Wiki and don't have a login, let me know.

    It will be several weeks before I've finished coding and sorting the new look.

    Anything not working as it should, let me know here.

      Well, after a wee bit of nutting things out I have to say I do approve of the new look and layout. (Of course had I not approved, you would have had to go back to the way it was...)

      I like the new dark universe better and have decided to keep myself in the dark now...

      Hahahaha, you sound like me! However, I am already adjusting my brain to the new look and am much happier now the dark universe is back.


      My question though (sorry if it's already been asked) - can you multi-quote?

      Great work Spankme, it must have taken a lot of concentration to get the upgrade stable.

      My only comments are that I liked the size of the font (large and easy to read) on the old forum. Also using the Black Universe white type on black was very readable. I'm finding the light blue very small and hard to read.

      Minor matters of course, just feedback.

      When I post there is a large blank space (several lines) left under my writing when it appears - seems likewise for other people.

      The site is still basically unsearchable beyond yesterday's change over.

      We're being flooded with waving threads...

      Hi Spank, like the changes good luck with the rest of them. Question though, are you going to support auto pager type software? I.E. it loads the next page as you read through the the thread?

      I am just going to have to spend more time randomly clicking on things to see what they do.

      If in doubt, just hover the mouse over a clickable symbol, there is normally mouse over text that describes what it does.

      The new uploader (assuming that's what you are using) is heavily Javascript dependant. Javascript engines differ from browser to browser. It may be worth trying a different browser or a current version of your existing browser (if it is not up to date). It may or may not solve the problem, but it's probaly worth trying.

      In the Meetings and Event section, there used to be a button that was allowing to sort the events according to which region/city they were in. Can we please get that option back ?

      Thank you SpankMe.
