Was good to catch up - albeit briefly!  (I was supporting a couple of guys on track so didn't get to hang around much)

Great to see the club stands full   

I'll be going along in the Supra, so will pop over and annoy you at some stage! 

Weather is starting to look a little...crap! 

If it pours I'll probably stick to a local event instead...

I'll be coming along to this, (in a non-rotor) so will wander over and say Hi! 

Be nice to catch up, not seen you since my visit to your old London office.

Deffo!

There is a special edition Classic & Sports Car out at the moment that focuses purely on Japanese cars; it includes a decent section on Mazda, including the Cosmo, RX500 and Rx7 family.

 

A weird one. I lost Tapatalk access, but it is now OK again, as id full forum access on PC and my phone.

UK2, our forum host, came back to me to say the reason I had intermittent access was due to:

Your IP address is getting blocked by the server firewall please see below

This is due to posting to the forum as a blank referrer

"Blank referrer POSTing to mazdarotaryclub.com" "POST /forum/mobiquo/mobiquo.php?method=get_box

Please below the log entry

I have whitelisted your Cpanel account on the firewall so this should no longer happen.

(Note I have put XXX to hide my full IP address for security reasons).

I have to say I have never come across this before and barely understand what that all means. One clue though is the mention of "mobiquo" (that is my red highlighting in the text above). This is EXCLUSIVELY used by TapaTalk, so it appears that monster causing issues yet again


All appears OK again for now. If anyone else is having issues then it might be, if using Tapatalk, you have triggered a blacklisting block on the UK2 server firewall and this can probably only be resolved by sending your internet IP address to UK2 to get the block removed. Trouble is, when your ISP inevitably allocates you another IP address from their pool, will the block re-occur    Only time will tell.

I'm aware the admins on the RX-8 OC hate Tapatalk, with a passion, for the issues it has created on their forum. Looks like we may be suffering the same form the affects of having the Tapatalk plug-in software installed on our forum too.

They are presumably classing it as a proxy, and then blocking it based on that?
I avoid Tapatalk for exactly these reasons... it should be a great forum aggregation tool...its just so painful to use though.

Can't believe the LC500 was only 11th!       

That's a big rotor.

Ah, makes sense!  Thanks  

(Better than running your wastegate solenoid off the LCD clocks power supply    )

Whats the black, bullet shaped thing towards the bottom of the pic? 

I have raised the issue of our Tapatalk access problem on the Tapatalk user forum, as I can't find a solution.

I have a feeling it is connected to recently securing our forum from malicious agents by forcing users to login via SSL/https access only. I have a hunch that Tapatalk has a problem with the SSL certificate we are using, even though it is valid and UK2 confirm it is correctly installed.

I await a response....

In theory that shouldn't make a difference - I suspect they have a really long TTL when it comes to site changes. (Or they have a really slow manual process)

Hello Brett, good to see you here.

 "adequate" performance! Nah, If I get to  "adequate" it means i'm racing at the sharp end but more is always good .

There is always room for more! 

That should give "adequate" performance! 

I've noticed it isn't offering an HTTPS version of the site by default.

If you navigate via HTTPS you get all sorts of fun formatting...
