Any updates as far as the site errors? On average I check here every couple of days, but it’s been driving me absolutely batsh!t crazy. Either times-out/ no connection or I get weird “SSL Handshake error “ from cloudfare. I’ve cross checked with other websites and my internet service is fine- even tried different browsers.

Probably makes me more productive tho.

Man I LOVE your avatar graphic! I've always liked the Rat Fink stuff and I actually got to meet Ed Roth a couple times when he came to the Houston Autorama. Got to watch him stripe, wish I'd had a video camera.... It was wild!

I bet, it would have been a true bucket list item. Post a pick of your square and I'll see if I can make a Rat Fink avatar for you

In answer to your comments on errors and broken links, the IT guy is working on a server upgrade and some errors will occur. I believe some of the servers & sites will be moving to a new IT services provider. I don't have a completion date for tha work as it's being handled by the Owners.

Cloudflare is problematic across a number of Fully Driven sites. We should see some improvement with the server upgrade plus future planned Xenforo software upgrades.

We apologize for any inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience as we upgrade the network.

Yeah, it's been frustrating at times. When it acts up, I get over it quickly and try to simply log out, but oftentimes it takes numerous tries just to log out.

Cloudflare just drives me crazy everywhere. They almost always block me from accessing stuff because my less-than-cutting-edge hardware/software keeps getting flagged as malicious.....

@MADDAZ How about we move forward with making it impossible for "non-staff" members to be able to post in the GM Squarebody How-To subforum? :)

This section?

Forum How Tos

Yessir. It's a constant "fight" of moving misc threads out of that section because of lazy posters not seaking out the proper section. It's essentially a dumping ground because it's the first subforum and I'm constantly spending time cleaning it up.


And this issue exists in all the forums where you added that subforum. It can be quite time consuming to clean up messes made by the lazy.

Maybe both are true :slap: :lol:


Kidding, I'm sure it's being fixed before you notice. Maybe I ought to just start leaving it, let it go to sh.t, and then let others realize how bad it is :rofl:

I believe that can be done and it's a dang good idea. There are other sites that have the same issue. I'll look into it and see what can be done.
