CLUB NEWS

So glad the site is back up. I was starting to have withdrawals!!!

I'm going to start a thread to discuss our experiences with the club website's performance. If you are seeing any issues, please post them here. Likewise, if you see any improvements please reply by letting me know. Thank you!

Hi all, apologies for the downtime this evening. Site was offline from 5pm - 8:45pm due to an automated update that went sideways. Things are all good now, but please let me know if you see anything. Thanks. Mike

I'm getting a lot of time out codes in the last few days, today more. I think its error 522 with cloudware. It says the host is hogging up the server? Whatever the hell that means. No big deal to me, just curious about others connectivity. @Mike Just clicked on a top post and got this...

Hi all, Wanted to let you know that I've created a separate space within our site for the National Zcar Convention (ZCON) on our website. The new area is within our "clubs" feature which can be found under the Community tab above. Within the club, we are able to hold discussions and I can keep you informed of any announcements from the event. Feel free to take a look at the new club and click 'join' if you want to keep updated with any activity within the area. It's also a great way to keep in touch with others who also be attending the event. We also have a few people from the event who are monitoring the content so please be sure to post questions if you have …

As some of you may have noticed, we are running 'Google' ad-free for the next day or so (other ads may still be working). This happened because of a change I made to the back end and now the system needs to re-sync with the Google ad servers. Please enjoy your experience and rest assured they will be coming back when this automated process completes (I don't know how long it will take and completely reliant on Google). Also, if you are interested in making this a permanent part of your club experience, we do have a subscription plan that disables these ads permanently.

Hi all, I appreciate your patience as I ran through a number of updates to our site today. The system was offline for approx 4-5 hours as I went through the system and made these updates. There was a pretty big backlog and I ran through everything in a single swoop. As always, please let me know if you see anything that isn't working right (or just looks funny). Thank you! Mike

My mistake, it's only "Last 24 hours" or "Last week" or "Last month"... Had some good conversations going on but the .jpg image dump killed them all. Sorry @SteveJ, you're probably not aware that each .jpg is a new topic. So anybody who uses "Activity" to see what's new only sees a long stream of .jpg's now. Not your fault. Oh well. Wait 'til they're done and see what comes back to life. It's like a .jpg fire, burning all conversations to the ground.

Doesn't matter much but anyone noticed that their email notifications are showing up way past the the time they were generated? Strange.

Hi all, For those of you who like to browse the website at night, from bed, or in a dark room -- I've added a new dark mode to the site. This mode is easier on the eyes when browsing in these conditions. I especially like it when I'm on my tablet and the bright backgrounds from our default page is just too much for my eyes to handle. You can choose the dark mode by changing the "Theme" at the bottom of the page. I've gone through most of the colors to make sure they work in this mode. But, if you find an example of a color match that doesn't look right, please take a screenshot and reply here. Thanks! Mike

For quite a while I was getting an ear wax ad on this site, and I searched the internet and found that it shows up around the web. There are theories that it is done purposely by Google to get people to "personalize" their ad content. I don't know but if anyone knows how to stop them I'm all ears (clean ones). Anyway, here's the latest that pops up. Can't understand how Google even lets it through.

Hi guys, I'm currently looking at options for another round of club T-shirts. It's been quite a long time (12 years?) since we've done a club shirt and now is an excellent time to start looking at it again. I'm working on a few designs and will post them here as I get them ready. With the advent of the website shirt design system, things are even easier to make something like this a reality. Last time we did shirts, it was pretty difficult to order big boxes of all the different sizes. This time around, I am hoping to avoid that chaos but we will see how many sites have good options for clubs like ours. I've been searching for a good T-shirt brand and have foun…
