    Frequent access problems: “Oops! We ran into some problems"

    Requiring human approval of new members, and restricting new members from posting links, goes a long way towards reducing spam on other forums where I'm a member or moderator.

    What's the difference between the FORUMS terms

    My saved bookmark for the forum is the "new posts" page, as I suspect is for a lot of users.

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    That's a valid point. However, on other forums where I participate, users are requested not to host pictures offsite, because if the image hosting site closes down, as frequently happens with free sites, or the user reorganizes his albums, the link is broken and the image is lost to the forum...
