Looks like some of the attachment files did not make the migration to the new site software. They are not physically there the links are but some are missing.. Sorry guys.. We will have to re upload the missing ones.

I,m liking the upgrade.
Just one question,how do I turn off the adverts ?
I could before, but now I cant find it.

what adverts?
I don't have/see them.
I use Google Chrome, latest with Adblock and Adblock Plus. BTW, I'm a free member. I never saw any ads on my mobile either.

I use ads to help support the site costs. Members that support the site have the option of turning them off

As a non supporting member without your ad blocker you would see the ads. If the ads did not generate some revenue to pay for the sites.. They would not exist. It costs almost 500 USD just for the software to set up a site like this. Then the monthly costs.. Dedicated servers.. Bandwidth. Software updates, Content delivery network ect...

Also, I never saw any ads on other devices like iPhone and iPad, which doesn't have adblocker, so, I'm thinking about it.
On the other hand, did you ever compare the costs with AWS or MWS or GWS (Page Not Found - Cloud Academy Blog They are cheaper, faster responding, never go down (since the application will be picked by other servers available). I know you might've already did you research before upgrading your hardware, but I was just letting it out again.
My previous Insurance company, VSP, started adopting to AWS, they are cheap, less maintenance. I did helped my team lead on this task, but couldn't completely work as my contract ended few days after we started working on this.

Three things re update;
1) can you please post an idiot link to where I can give you some money to not see adverts.Got to be worth it in saved data charges if nothing else!
2) Are there different skins available? This light one doesn't suit my naturally dark nature at all
3) Are we using the new "like" button like we used to use the "thank you" button? I don't mind either way, so long as my "likes" don't end up being posted to all my vague acquaintances on Facebook
4) (yes I know I said 3, I lied) Thank you for putting in the hours to keep this place running, I rather like it

I found the option by: click on your avatar or your user cp (just above your avatar pic), that should take you to your profile page
under My Settings, on the left, go to General Settings
at the bottom of the page you should see Miscellaneous Options, it should be your second option
Hope that works for you :)

Anyone see a way to stop this from filling my home email inbox with "Thanks and Likes" emails without turning off all notifications?

As it is now, I'll write a rule to delete them.

Thank You Dennis for getting BOTM back on the front page....

I see a "chat" button now, but it doesn't go into a chat room.

I don't like change! My sister used go through tel numbers like crazy (service shut off for non-payment). I'll get used to it... And, yeah, would be nice to know what bike(s) is associated with poster under avatar.
