Sorry for the downtime

Post by maddiedog »

Hi all, sorry for the quick blip of downtime today. There was a security issue with the site that has since been resolved. Thanks Mel for bringing it to my attention.

You'll also notice the site now uses https (the lock at the URL bar confirms this), which means your traffic is encrypted and secure between hondapcx.org and your computer. This isn't a huge deal for a recreational site like this, but still a good best practice for cybersecurity. :D

Thanks for letting us know it was a site problem (which I was guessing it was) and not a local computer issue.

FWIW I haven't been seeing the videos anymore in the topic replies. Maybe it's just me but it happened right after the security fix. There may be something else going on. I just don't know.

Has this happened to anyone else?

I've got new equipment and the latest software so I'm thinking that's not the problem.

Really great forum and a great bunch of riders! 8)

Same here. I don't see the videos that are supposedly included.

As an example, I don't see a video on this thread, but I am guessing that there is suppose to be one.

The picture worked so it must be just videos that are not coming through.

And, I can't see any video's that were previously posted (yes, since the security upgrade).
Well that makes for 3 of us :roll:

And the rest of you....?

I wonder what caused this during the security upgrade? Any ideas? I Am NOT a Tech Geek :ugeek:

My equipment, older but updated: an iPad3 - with Safari, Samsung s4 - with Chrome and older HP laptop - with Vista. But older doesn't seem to matter because as PCX150Rider mentioned he has newer equipment and still all's lost.

Soo...I went ahead and added Mozilla's Firefox browser to my Samsung S4 thinking it might help. Not the case. The Fox made no difference. Vids are still Ghosts.
Below I'm posting a video and its' link from youtube:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q_ZzBGPdqE

^ Video is Not Seen ^

Oh, and nothing has changed with photo's, I can still see them.

I will pm maddiedog and point him to this (his) thread.
Whilst we wait his response, please add any/all of your comments here. Thanks

I'm working on this. It's an issue with the bbcode not parsing right. I'll update soon with a fix.

I clicked on the play button on the black screen and the black screen went fuzzy and had the following message on it: "An error occurred. Please try again later." It also list the file name.

It's all Greek to us, except for those of us who are Greek, and then it is some other language. :lol: :lol:

Ok, I pm'd Dave. Heh, we're almost there! :P
Sit tight, It'll be alright.

Another Example Sample of what works:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k8vIFiLPbHo

and Doesn't:
Cutting and pasting a youtube's link ("only the digits and letters found after the url's = sign") then placing it in between our message board's youtube button brackets: [youtube][/youtube]
Seeing only a solid black box with error message.

Did you buy your baby a scooter yet? I'm thinking fisher price might have something appropriate. Get it before they walk so as to insure a life of accident free riding LOL.
