Website Updates

After a month and a half of crazy coding, major changes to the underlying code. Restructured every database in the system, rewrote a ton of code to bring it up to 2026 standards. The big addition was the new GS Map. This involved writing geolocation code to place Owner's Registry entries on the map. I never realized that there were almost 10,000 entries in the Owner's Registry. This has been a feature on the website since 2001 which could explain the number. I have reduced the entries that show in the map to those added or edited to turn on the GS Map option. Changes were made to my anti-hacker code in order to better identify where these hackers are coming from (primarily China, Russia and Eastern Europe). As of now all IP's coming from China or Russia will be blocked. More countries will be added in the future, I'm sure. I have also added the Bug Reporting page. Click on the ladybug and let me know if you see any going goofy with the website.

I spend a couple days of working on the website. Fixed disk full conditions on the server, rebuilt a crashed forum database, purged old posts and users. Finished with an upgrade to both the forum software and webhost software. We should be good for a while.

Created the Balance sheet for 2025. Added the 1st event to the 2025 Calendar on the website main page.

I tallied up the contributions for the year 2023. As the years progress the amount contributed to run the website is slowly decreasing. This is understandable considering the age of the bike that we are dealing with. In any case, once the website is no longer self sustaining it will be shut down. If this is a website you enjoy, then considering supporting it financially.

We have had an issue where the website had been down for several days due to all our diskspace being used by error log files. The situation has been corrected and the forum software has been updated to the latest version.

More code is being added to the site to stop the hackers. If you find yourself jumping from page to page on the site very quickly then you may find yourself locked out from the website. If this happens then contact Frank to get unlocked.

Added significant antihacker code to the main website. Come to find out we had numerous actors from every country you can imagine trying to break into the site. I have reduced the attempts at breaking in significantly. If you find that you are locked out from accessing the website then contact me via PM or email.

Due to the recent server upgrades this caused some of the main website to no longer function. I have fixed the Bike Of The Month and Photo Gallery issues. I continue working my way through the rest of the code.

The GS Owner's Map page is back but just to explain what the future plans are with it.

I have done some big bug fixes to the Owner's Registry related to the recent server updates. It should be working correctly now. Also note the new addition of the option to have your name and location added to the GS Map. This is in anticipation for a new GS Map in the future.
