Thanks for the explanations!

It's been flawless for me since last week, very surprising because it's been awful for months before.
There's two spam posts in there too, I guess the report feature is broken even. PLuto?

Sorry for later answer, I have just returned from Sierra Morena (when I am present on events, I dont post info anywhere (except Rally-base) as I have lot of work to do there). I will try to contact Mark (owner of this forum) via email and ask him to check the situation with hosting and errors. But I know very well how difficult is to run this old forums on modern sites (we are running similar on forum.autosport.cz). Every forced upgrade of software on server means another troubles with this old forums systems. And any new try to upgrade or fix the current settings can destroy everything... But like I told, I will try to write to Mark.

Maybe to have one time pain than eternal suffering? The current forum version was released in 2013 and it can only get worse. Logically all the modifications would be lost but at least everything should run smoother.

I have answer from Mark:

Hello!
The server had run out of disk space, I have cleared away some old test forums which were taking up space. And I have fixed the user registration options, at least I hope I have.
The server is pretty old now, it has a continuous uptime of 11 years now! I should probably do something with it, my job is working for web hosting company after all, maybe that's the issue!

Seems like the server or software doesn´t remember that you´re logged in... Need to do it everytime one been away for just hours.

Let me know if there is any monetary way of supporting the forum. If I could DM you I would

I had issues with this in the past when I was starting at page motorsportforums.com ; since I am starting at https://www.motorsportforums.com/forum.php, I dont have any issues.

Even DMs are back, profile views, can't fault it!

And welcome to new member LebJe252!

Thanks.

So what do you guys think of this rumour? https://rallyjournal.com/report-wrc-...ormer-f1-boss/

According to the report, the commercial rights are set to be acquired by an investment group led by former Formula 1 team boss Eric Boullier. According to Dirtfish, the promotion deal is a major one and could run until as late as 2051. This would make the contract as long as 25 years.
