    Hi Guys/Gals.
    You may like to check out the following site:
    http://www.ozsportsbikes.com
    This is a reasonably new site and growing fast.
    Feature packed... you can even keep an eye on your local weather.
    Forums, Live Chat, News, much much more.

    Not a bad start.

    However, there are a number of spelling and grammatical mistakes on the home
    page:

    "Weather Forcast" - should be "forecast"
    "Upcomming"... get a spell-checker.
    The sentence "I have created several different categories that should make
    life easy to find the info you require"... could use a bit of editing...

    agreed - but the colour scheme put me off
    all that black and blue made it rather daunting for my aged eyes

    i'm prolly too old to ride a sports bike
    but i still like to read about them
    and remember my youth
    and the 'bikes i lusted after
    but did not get to ride .....
    and change the colour scheme please
    at least the print is easier to read
    than the stuff on the Motorcycling Australia web site

    and NO !
    my eyesight is degenerating 'cos of my advanced age
    and not because of an activity that arthritis and failing memory render
    obsolete

    A file that big?
    It might be very useful.
    But now it is gone

    Thanks Manning.
    I would guess that I could find more spelling errors if I looked :-\
    And I will correct them as I go, but I have been working fairly fast to
    create all of the different areas to make it interesting for my members.
    In under a week I have welcomed 24 members.
    I hope all riders around Australia will find it a great communication hub.

    Regards
    Paul
    PS... If you find any other errors, let me know :)

    Thanks SV..
    I too like the dark backgrounds, But seeing as how I created it for the good
    of the motorcycle community and not just for my own benefit, I guess I need
    to make it as accessible as possible.
    No... I dont intent to make it look like a v-bulletin site :)
    I actually have a pretty cool header with a motorcycle racer and I will be
    using colours to suite.
    I purchased a template from templatemonster.
    Check it out and let me know what you think....

    As I said earlier, two members of aus.moto do not "a community make". You'll
    never get 100% support for anything you do and someone will always complain
    (except at aus.moto where everyone shows enormous respect for the opinions
    of their fellow members), which is why I think taking a poll of your
    membership is the best idea.

    Keep it up :)
    Cheers Manning
    (who doesn't even ride a sportsbike).

    Spelling and grammar are for people who want to be read and understood.
    If you're happy to be largely ignored and misunderstood then there's no need to bother...
    (but then; why post at all?)

    But we love YOU Scrote!

    How on earth did you manage to get a scripting error - on line 1! - when using a basically vanilla phpnuke installation?

    Like I love snails. They leave slimy trails all over and it's very
    difficult to teach them anything.

    Hey there Baron.
    No problems as far as I am aware.
    Try clicking on the "Forgot your Password" link at the top and see if that
    fixes your problem.

    same thing happened to me
    i thought the man might have been sore at me for my criticisms of the
    colour scheme

    : I registered but it didnt send the password to me. That was a full day
    ago ?

    Hi Barry,
    Did you try the forgot password link? It should re-email the details to you.
    Let me know if this works for you.
