I've put this on the front page, but I'm going to put it here too.... A spokesperson for the Edinburgh and District Motor Club (the club) has released the following statement in response to recent events: "It has recently been brought to our attention by the relevant authorities that they have detected the riding of motorcycles in prohibited areas, including areas that are designated Sites of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and specifically in the Glen Nevis and Leven Valley areas. "In no way is there any suggestion that this unacceptable activity relates directly to the forthcoming Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT). However the Edinburgh and District Motor Club, as a responsible body and as an event organiser that completely relies on the kind permission of numerous landowners and authorities, can in no way condone the actions of a minority of riders who are putting future land use and potentially the SSDT at risk. "In order to help all riders identify which areas of land this relates to, we have included some useful information on our website - www.ssdt.org. We would also like to make it known that any riders who are found to have been riding in these protected areas, and are due to take part in the SSDT will be dealt with accordingly, with the club ultimately reserving the right to exclude any rider from the event. "The SSDT has had a positive impact on the local area for the last century and this is something the club is committed to continuing via its many competitors who strictly adhere to land use restrictions under which the event has been run for the last one hundred years." In addition to this statement the club would also like to bring to the attention of all riders important information as recently provided to them by the Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). The SNH issue consent to the club on the basis that the level of activity created by the SSDT each year is sustainable for the habitats for which the sites are designated. Additional activity is likely to lead to an unsustainable level of use, especially when this is spread throughout the year as it prevents habitats recovering. Unconsented activity leaves the landowner or the person undertaking the activity open to prosecution for damage. This is a criminal offence under the Nature Conservation (Scotland) Act 2004 (as amended) and carries financial penalties of up to £40,000. Use of a vehicle except on a dedicated, built vehicle track would constitute an operation requiring consent on any of the local designated sites with habitat features. Vehicular access to private land also requires the permission of the landowner. Any motorised activity without landowner's permission constitutes an offence (trespass) and is not permitted under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003. To conclude, the Edinburgh and District Motor Club would like to once again express its sincere gratitude to all the landowners and authorities, including Scottish Natural Heritage, who continue to make the SSDT possible each year. This in turn allows competitors from all over the world to continue ride amongst what remains widely regarded as some of the best trials terrain on the planet.

Used to do work on the computer systems at Strathcarron. Not a nice place to visit, but a very worthy cause. Well done

"Jokeroo" <> YouTube. FAIL!

YouTube is so simple now even Copey could manage it. Just paste the link to the YouTube video, ensuring it has the http:// at the start and that's it. No need to use media buttons or anything else. The forum software will detect it's a YouTube video and embed it automatically. PS. It didn't work for you last week. I was online, saw the post and edited it so it would work Oh, and I've not checked, but I believe you can delete your own posts, but can't delete topics you started.

More info here

There's no easy way to tell you this so I'm just going to say it. Your dog's dead.

Is that better?

I was having a look on the providers forums and saw if you click on the red circle icon immediately to the left of an updated or new topic that takes you to a slightly different link showing only latest posts.

It's FF 10.0.2 I use as default here and the things reported as not working are working fine for me. Check cookie settings. Browser has to accept cookies from domain trialscentral.com or that kind or stuff won't work.

As Pete says or alternately click on your name in the bar at the very top then select "My Content"

That functionality is still working here. Again, that's working fine here. You can even be selective via the menu on the left with the purple bars. That's working too. Sounds like a browser/cookie issue. What browser and version?

That's what I thought I'd sorted out. What page(s) and where are you noticing this?

How are the greys now? Should be darker, but problem is there are so many different places, what I've changed might not be what you're meaning. Style sheet for these damned forums is 4250 lines long Edit: I see I've also managed to change the username in the red bar above each post to dark grey. Bollox. Edit 2: Fixed that

I do still have changes to make to fonts and colours. That will be attended to.

Not any more you can't. That was only there to help troublshoot the initial login problems with certain browser versions.

Such as? They may still exist, just not been re-enabled, but I can't check that unless I know what you touches you're referring to.

For those that never venture out of the forums, details here

I'll go with that.

At the bottom of each Forum topic there are links to put the topic on a variety of social networking sites.
