So it’s highly likely that all the crawler bots and AI information-gathering is what’s slowing our site down. At least according to our provider.

They suggest a 3rd-party “front end” (cloudflare) to put in front of our site to alleviate the problem. It’s somewhat a tricky change and will likely take the site down for a few hours while things…[Read more]

As in how to share the Facebook link? Not sure.

Will look into photo posting problem though. Thanks for reporting it.

All seems to have gone well. Closing this topic.

I have a 1982 London Roadster. The top got quite beat up by southern Florida sun and salt-water. I asked around at a few boat shops (coastal Maine), but none would take on the job. That was about 20 years ago so my memory is a bit faded as to the reasons they gave.

I ended up making a new one myself. I ruined a sewing machine and what seemed like…[Read more]
