I've had a couple of US users make contact following the site upgrade with login problems from swbell.net/com addresses. I have tried responding to these users to help resolve the issues, but AT&T/swbell are blocking emails. I've contacted them, but as usual in corporate world, no response. If anyone affected can make contact via an alternate email address we can get things sorted out.

The Spanish websites do it every year, though I can't remember the last time I saw any of them represented at a world round... That's Bou and Fuji confirmed with Montesa - all official, like.

No. Nobody can at this stage. He is due to see doctors this week.

That is an incredibly ignorant statement to make. The guy is injured and has ridden when he shouldnt have. To continue riding without recovery could be career ending.

Frame is 0.3kg lighter. Fuel tank increased by 0.3 litre to 2.9 litres.

It is the 2013 bike and will be launched here in Italy this weekend. Proper photos later

You want to try European World rounds - particularly Italy - where, for a fee, anybody can buy a pass to ride round on their bike all day. It's chaos and an accident waiting to happen. You have public (including small children) flying about on bikes on the same narrow paths as spectators and riders - often riding against the Trial and riders and minders don't tend to hang about... There WILL be a serious accident one day. I've raised it with the FIM on a number of occasions, but it's fallen on deaf ears every time.

Can't connect to that messageforums website so dunno what it's all about. Invision have released a new iPhone App for the forums, but from what I gather it's not that great. It's also no longer free so I wouldn't recommend anyone wasting their money at this stage. The mobile skin which it should auto-detect if you're on a mobile device should do most things.

I still haven't done anything to fix it. Only just home from a full-on weekend in Andorra.

No I haven't. I got up at 6am last Monday, drove from Spanish world round to Malaga, flew home, got myself sorted. Tuesday 6am I flew out to Dublin, getting home at 9pm. Wednesday I had a day to catch up with my real life job - the one that pays the bills then Thursday 5am I was up to fly to Andorra. The patch will be applied when I have time

Update on Loris here I've seen the photos of the "fingernail" and really wish people would not post photos of injuries and gory stuff online. I'm a bit girly when it comes to that sort of thing...

Thank you for the kind words I've not seen this comment or heard anything untoward regarding the recent update, but I make no apologies. It was publicised prominently on the front page for at least a month before the changes that the calendar system was changing and that it would not be possible to migrate events from the old to the new. I did try, but it wasn't going to happen due to the way the data was stored. Nobody else has complained, but then you'll never please everybody

Emoticons can be affected by this bug too. I will advise when the fix is in place.

To problem with them here. They should still be there.

It is very good right up to 4:45. I don't have a problem with it personally, but I'm not sure doing that on a public road should be shown to the world. Too many folk that like to complain these days.

Topic on this already here

Cheers guys. It was SUPPOSED to go live before the SSDT, but...well, it didn't. Actually it was supposed to go live about 18 months ago, but ran into problems and got so frustrated I had to walk away. Was totally s***ing myself yesterday. It's one thing testing, but there have been massive changes behind the scenes and it's another thing altogether letting the public loose on it. Have to say it's gone remarkably smoothly. When I did similar with the Scooby club a few years ago I had literally hundreds of support tickets to deal with. I've had about 10 so far. Maybe Trials riders are just smarter and follow instructions better...

Too dangerous apparently. More suited to a stop-allowed event.

Dibs, Brownie, Wiggy. Dibs tweeted he loved it, Gary Mac Fb'd he hated it. Awaiting results from Mr. W

2003. Ugh

Welcome to the new TC! As detailed previously all users will have to reset their passwords in order to access the new TC systems. Please see this Important Information article for more information and what you need to do. The new Trials Central brings together a load of disparate systems giving users access to the Forums, Front page for new article comments feature, access to Supporters content where appropriate and news and event posting all under a single sign-on. Please note that although the Forums have been given a fresh, new look, the software behind them is the same so there is nothing new to learn. Everything will still work the same as you're used to. I don't expect a move this big to be without a few teething problems. In order to manage any initial user problems I've temporarily installed a helpdesk ticketing system. For ALL support requests please open a ticket by clicking here I will NOT deal with support requests by Personal Message or by email (or by Facebook - Mr. Percival ). Any problems, open a ticket. Please remember, there is only me so please be patient in waiting for responses. Enjoy - there is much more to come

Firstly, it's still all just rumour and speculation and will remain that way until a statement is made by one or both of the factories. Remember the Spanish do get very excited about "stories". If one Spanish Trials site posted that Toni Bou was actually a transexual alien from the planet Xarg, it would be on all of them within half an hour... Aside from that, it appears to be a bit of a non-story. It's talk of collaboration, not immediate merger or acquisition. That's no big deal. In the software industry we collaborate and undertake joint engineering ventures with some of our biggest competitors all the time. I'm sure it happens in many industries and if it's beneficial to both parties then why not?

Bumping as this is now imminent. Please ensure email address is correct as per instructions above.

How would it be to get round to photograph? It's one I've fancied going to for a while, but I've heard the loop isn't great for spectators getting to sections?
