1. How long is the current idle/auto log out time set for?

I seem to be constantly logging back in after viewing sites in another tab.

2. I notice there is a MyZone addition to The Zone tab.
Is this an area where members may set up their own blog type thingie?
Is it active yet or still being tweaked?

Ta.

Btw, you're all doing a kickass job here.
Just sayin'.

Hi, its set at 30 minutes. If you think we should up it a bit let me know. I will go check it too btw make sure it is still 30 minutes.

Yes members can set up their own page. Our tech Frog is working on it as we speak, and since he hasnt come out from out the back yet ... to make an announcement, id say he is still tweaking it possibly.

Though i havent spoken to him in a bit, ill check it out.

I dont see any harm in you going in there and setting up a page though if you like.

ok speak of the devil, Frog made an announcement a few minutes after i replied to you. Look at the top of community chest section.

Ill bump it up to an hour, i see no harm in that, the 30 mins was just the default setting that was in there and we didnt change it, it wasnt one of the options/settings that was discussed.

@ Featheredfish,

You can go and knock yourself out in the MyZone Page and give us some feedback. There could be a few things which need ironing out.

As for the time out you can override that if you check the remember me check box when you sign in. That will hold your session open while you do other things. If you get caught out after writing a long reply never refresh the browser. Use the back button and 90% of the time your work will be recoverable.

@ Novum,

Sorry mate for the lack of communication, I was busy working out the new feature and I had to do it twice...once on the test system and then again on the live site. It took a bit longer than I thought it would. Have a bash and see what you think of it.

Mate, you couldnt have communicated with me even if you tried ...i was fast asleep while you were working on it.

Sleep? Sleep is for pussies! As you know I have no concept of time, so I was happy plodding along while you snored you're head off.

Hi Forum staff. Didn't really know where to post this. Anyway, I know you guys look at IP's, and I'm currently at work so you'll notice it's different from the home one. Don't kick me off! Lol!

Stop worrying you

We only look at trouble makers...or people from Brisbane and Peru. Though the peru thing was a one off i think.

Hows that D21 truck of yours btw, still going strong

Hey Featheredfish, have you tried clicking the remember me box when you log in? The site won't time you out.

@Novum

Haha! Thank you, it's doing fine so far. I was at the gas station on Monday and a guy on the other side of the pump said, 'those trucks are gold'. I looked to see what truck he was talking about, didn't see anything spectacular and looked back it him. He was looking at my old gal!

I asked him 'these old trucks?' pointing to mine. He said yes because when he was working at a Nissan dealership back in '04 there were a number of customers looking for the old hard bodies, as well as ones coming in for services.

Really?!

He said yes, those trucks will do anything you want them to.

He finished fueling and drove off.

She's ugly nowadays but still runs and is paid for. She gave me a run of repairs last summer but for her age I can't complain.

Just like i thought, still going

A relative has one its over 400 000 miles now on the original motor not one sign of dying yet either, no smoke, blowby, nothing...its been looked after but man has it carried some loads, often with loaded trailer too at the legal limit...all its had is one gearbox along the way, of course brake linings and discs etc...and the clutch just died for the second time...but its 400 000 miles stil the original timing chain and guides

it may be a freak, but i think its down to good oil and filter changes, not letting the motor get gummy inside...its why the timing chain guides wear out, when the oil feed is blocked.

anyway thats enough gear head stuff out of me ill shut up now

Good for your relative! My odometer quit about two years ago right before she flipped to 200k.

Yep, still original flat bar chain and all that.
