It sounds as though the bugs are out again. I'll try to find the technical-problem threads and merge them here. Feel free to post up your problems, and feel free to add a "me, too" if you see your problem already posted.
Hopefully, having the problems in one place will help TheGoodGuy.
Thanks!

OK, so now not only do I have to refresh a page twice, then 'preview' to post, but now this thread will not accept any of my posts: http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=36581.0
I don't think it's been locked, and I'm getting session errors. I can't logout. I've dumped cookies, cleared history, and tried another browser. I've also tried doing things from another IP.
Any ideas ?

Here's a problem I've been experiencing...
SpecialTerry posting.

I had an issue with it giving me the 'less than 45 seconds since last post' notice when it had been over 5 minutes earlier today.

I havent been able to *QUOTE* from anyone , i have no idea why , it worked fine before
I just tried to respond to a PM from bettingpython, and it gave me the same sort of error that I get when trying to quote him. What GS God did HE tick off? :laugh:
We love ya', bettingpython, even if the forum Gawds & Gawdesses are picking on ya' right now. :kiss3:
Same for the less than 45 seconds since last post. It happens to me all the time. Even when I just log on.
-Anti 8)
I get plenty of search results when I type in "Yosh" but none when I type "Yosh TRS", despite posts containing those words. It's similar for other (usually short) search keywords.
My quoting still isnt working , i deleted my cookies and everything , i still get the same error , :(
I'm able to quote MOST messages just fine, but not "bettingpython" here:
http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=15431.105
Every time I try to include the quote, even if I cut-and-paste it from another attempt, it gives me a file access permissions and a 404 error combined in one screen. First time I've experienced that.
I just had trouble quoting Wrecent's previous message to reply! (404 forbidden and all that).
My solution to quoting BP (which is where I consistently have issues) is to strip all the numeric information from the header.
For example the header at the start of a quote should read (after stripping):
(square bracker start)quote author=author's name(end square bracket)
The square bracket [ and ] should be used where I put parentheses.
End of quote should look like:
(square bracker start)/quote(end square bracket)
There's a whole bunch of unnecessary stickies in the For Sale forum.
That's not a technical problem, as I'm sure you well know.
The Mark read button always tells me the session verification failed. I'm using firefox if it matters. I did the logout login thing but that didn't fix it.
Thanks

When I reply to a PM, no message is displayed in my outbox. The message that I am replying to has a disclaimer that states, "you have forwarded or responded," but there is not a copy of the reply in the outbox. I am not sure if recipients are receiving PM replies.

Another prob: http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=37471.msg421373#msg421373
So Ime cruising here in the city of Salvador,
where temperatures vary from 27 celsius up to 40+ in the summer time, wandering is'nt this to hot for an aircooled twin? lots of trraffic lights and traffic jams doesn't make him any cooler,..I also wonder if the white corrosion between the cilindercoolribs ( hard to clean ) influence the cooling in a negative way.
enigine is running smooth, only the rpm's are rising up to 1100,. normal I gues.
any sugestions comments input?
Helleu guy's
any idea how to get the white corrosion of the cilinders?
its pretty hard reach also, and does it influence the cooling capacity?

Not getting a copy in your Outbox is not a bug -- it's a feature -- an unexpected feature perhaps.
There is a check box in the lower left of the typing area area, that is by default BLANK that says, "Save a copy in my outbox". If you don't check it, you don't save a copy for yourself.
I was tripped up by that myself, and still to this day if I'm too hasty. :)

Hello Friend I got an e-mail with these messages, but Ime quite new to thisI don't understand that I did not get one replie to my questions.
while with other questions I alsway had some answers. ( was it something I said? )
Not a problem but a suggestion.
Instead of having stickies in the "General GS500 Discussion" section, couldn't we just have some links up under the tribute to Rich "Phaedrus" that link to the appropriate thread.
GS500 Wiki - Forum Rules - Introduce Yourself - Kerry's Valve Adjusting Kit West Coast / East Coast - Forum Technical Problems
Would make it easier to jump to the Wiki for example, but also reduce the need for space wasting stickies.
Just an idea. :icon_lol:
when I'm using microsoft IE I have HOME HELP SEARCH PROFILE LOGOUT buttons on the right side of the screen. Right next to Rich "Phaedrus" picture. When I'm using firefox everything is OK. the buttons appear on the left side under my own avatar. What can I do to fix that in IE??
does anyone reply to those threads??
if so Ive got one more question. I see the new feature on the forum: the spell checker but I can't get that to work :cry: any ideas why??

Kind of. You are just posting the wrong kinds of questions in the wrong thread. This thread is about tech questions concerning the forum itself, not the motorcycle. Start a new thread about the corrosion stuff in the general discussion. Also, the only way I know to remove rust is to sand/grind/wire wheel it. There are some paste/gel products that supposedly remove rust, but I've never used them. Start a thread about it and you'll probably get better answers.

Thanx pall,.
I've pinged TheGoodGuy that there are some new technical questions here. :)
still did not get answer to my questions... can someone teach me how to use spell checker?
I'm majoring in computer information systems but it seems to be to tricky to figure out by myself :laugh:
any tutorials on SPELL CHECKER please??

I have this same question. I'm on a computer with an older version of IE, and the buttons are in the right place. However, my computer at home has the most recent version and the buttons are on the right side of the screen. Is this a problem with IE 7?

I need some help as the stator on my bike has just packed in and I need to buy a new one. Apparently the only way to buy one for a gs500 k3 is to buy is straight from suzuki for 180!!!! Does anyone know of anywhere I can get a new one for cheaper than that?!

That is your position on the forum and can not be changed.The more you post,it will raise your ranking.

I can use just regular quote, but when I try to add quote within a quote then I get exact same error.
It's little annoying but since the membership here is free I won't complain too much ;) ;) ;)
Just a heads up, the site is not displaying correctly in Opera for 64 bit linux. I'm not sure where the problem lies. The 'search' ' home' and 'help' fields/buttons appear in the upper right portion of the page next to the table containing the user info.
thanks guys, i see some new problems cropping up. I think I know where the problem is.. however I will have to plan ahead for it, it will take about 12 hours to fix it. Its a problem with the template / language files.
As for Opera 64 displaying it wrong, i'll look into it.
Just to be clear I meant the forum...not the wiki :icon_mrgreen:
I think you guys have done a great job getting the forum running this well!! Grats!
Now, onto my ONE AND ONLY complaint.
Is there any way to make it so that after you post a NEW THREAD you don't go back to the FOURM index (meaning the main forum... I.E. General GS500 Discussion).
Instead, is there a way to make it so when you post a NEW THREAD and hit POST you go directly TO that thread on the most recent post (I.E. The one you just posted).
I'm pretty sure when you click on MODIFY, edit your post, and SAVE you go right back to your post in the thread... so why not do that for the initial post? It's kind of a pain if you want to re-read what you just wrote having to go back through the index to get to it...
Know that I mean? :) Thanks for the consideration guys!!! :cheers:

but it looks horrible that way!
Some testing shows all but the default BlackTech profile works
lol but i like the black
Yeah, so do I. It's also the profile most people are using and the default for the forum so it would be good to have it working properly. Hopefully knowing it's a profile specific thing will make it easier for the appropriate people to fix.

I think there's something up with search - perhaps some background indexing task isn't happening?

Hello all, I am a new gstwins.com user and having some trouble getting an avatar pic of my gs on my profile. Not sure what the url is for a pic i have on a on a flash or hard drive. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
Hello dcubed. Check out this thread in the FAQ section: http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=15370.0
Most people use photobucket. When you've got your avatar uploaded, find out the URL, and copy/paste it into the appropriate field in your profile.
Thanks Paul, got a pic of my gs at lovers leap in va. up there now!
got a gs 500 last spring. put 8k on it. rode great all year, till i dropped it rather hard. minor damage to cosmetics, and clutch lever and bike rode again. i've gotta lot of problems with the bike this year, out of storage the bike wouldnt run. had to tear the carbs down and clean them, and now if i go over 6 grand it sputters out and shuts down. still has spark. usually still has fuel. it also does this climbing hills. if i can manage to keep it full throttle it will usually continue to run but its' rough, and feels like a cylinder is kicking in and out tore it down yesterday with my motorcycle guy (dad) and found that theres a diaphram in the petcock that has deteriorated. appears to just be a fuel shut off deal. but it doesn't close all the way, so i dont think its shutting off while i'm riding. also after i get these problems solved i want to breath a little more power into this thing, as i would like to be able to get the front wheel off the ground in 2nd. thinking along the lines of jetting and air filters, if it's made a different sprocket set, things like that. don't wanna bore it out cause i don't have the money to do that. and if i did, i'd buy something fuel injected. i need to find someone who knows alot about these little things. PLEASE HELP!!!!!
I'm posting this on behalf of someone else...
They Registered for the site back in Early Sep. Searching the Members list you can find them, but not in the alphabetical list. Thing is, he cannot log in, nor has he received a Confirmation Email from Admin. I told him I found his details when I Searched, he tries to log in and gets an "ERROR. Your account is still awaiting for admin approval." message.
He uses a Hotmail Account and received nothing in the spam box.
He asked me if the Admin who Approves the registrations is Away, how long it normally takes, or if it's cause he is using Hotmail.

Sorry to be a whiner on my first official visit to the site (I've actually been reading it for awhile but finally signed up because I'm now the proud owner of a GS500) but I've encountered two problems already. So I poked through this thread and discovered they are not new.

I've been having problems when replying to posts. If the message is long (i.e. if I need to scroll down), the reply screen jumps around and doesn't let me view the portion that I am currently writing. ...
To elaborate on the second one, as soon as the reply text box fills and it should scroll as you enter text, it doesn't. It displays the line you are typing on for a fraction of a second each time you type a character and then instantly jumps back to some random display point that leaves the line you are typing on hidden way below the text box. It really makes things difficult.
Or is this a "feature" to force us to keep posts short?? :police:
Thanks for listening.

Methinks it's a "feature" related to your choice of web browser and/or OS (but probably web browser. There's at least one default option that ignores standards as a matter of course.)
Using Safari on a Mac I have not had this problem. I'm happily scrolled down in my reply as I type. Suggest you try something different - Not knowing what you are using, here are some options...
http://www.apple.com/safari/ (http://www.apple.com/safari/)
http://www.opera.com/ (http://www.opera.com/)
http://www.google.com/chrome (http://www.google.com/chrome)
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/firefox)
Or you can write your reply in a word processor and paste it into the box...
Thanks. I'll give Firefox a try, although you would think a forum should work with the browser that 70% or more of the computing population uses by default. Hate to have to use FF for just one of the many forums I follow.

Yeah. Well. I already figured that out and it's what I've been doing today. We used to do that way back in the stone age of electronic dial-up bulletin boards over twenty years ago. I just didn't expect to have to do it with a modern forum, especially when it's a problem that was already reported two years ago.
I'll learn to live with it. It just seemed reasonable to point out that the problem still exists.
...ken...
Yeah, you would expect a forum to be compatible with 70% of the user base...
But I think your 70% IE number is a few years old: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp
(I particularly like the quotes at the bottom of the page)
There's a famous expression that "There's lies; there's damn lies and then there's statistics." :nono:
This still holds true when researching reporting on the browser "wars".
Yes, the fine print way down is very interesting and puts the numbers into their proper context.
"W3Schools is a website for people with an interest for web technologies. These people are more interested in using alternative browsers than the average user. The average user tends to use Internet Explorer, since it comes preinstalled with Windows. Most do not seek out other browsers.
These facts indicate that the browser figures above are not 100% realistic. Other web sites have statistics showing that Internet Explorer is used by at least 80% of the users."
Now let's get a broader perspective. Here's an analysis that includes the numbers from the three major browser stats reporting sites. It also includes a comment about the various versions of IE. Interesting to note that the ones who report the lowest usage for IE are only reporting IE8, not all the IE versions that are currently in use. And interesting to note their comment that if you watch the action on IE8, it's growing at least slightly, not shrinking, while FireFox has been stagnant for months. Even if IE8 only has a little over 30% market share, that's still pretty impressive when you consider it's only the most recent version. I wonder what you would get if you treated FF the same and looked at just, say, FireFox 3.x?
http://www.ghacks.net/2010/10/05/browser-statistics-october-2010/
And finally, for whatever it's worth, here's Wikipedia's report and analysis.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers
No matter. This isn't rocket science or even especially difficult. It's a basic text entry widget. Just grab another one from a different code library that works. Not to have made the site work with one of the major browser products after two years seems rather neglectful of a large percentage of its users.

I have a 1993 GS500E. When I apply the throttle at any speed it is sluggish, almost like there is a clog or dirty carbs. Any other things that may cause this?

This place is for FORUM problems not Bike problems. Put your bike problems in the main page - do a search first and if you cannot find your answer, post a question in a new thread.

Hi all, I went on a ride yesterday. About 60 miles all together (freeway). On my way to a bike night the bike ran fine. On the way home the bike started to lack power and when i pulled over my pipe (stock)was red hot. I have the carb adjusted by a shop about february. Is that a fuel issue.
Hi, just got my first gs500e and changed the oil(the bike it's a little old, and has many km, but runs just fine), but I have put a little too much, just that it covers the letter F. Do you think it's a problem?..I don't know much about bikes but I am trying to learn:-)
Thanks in advance.

DB issues...:( Lets see if it stops now that i ran a check again
Might want to go ahead and upgrade to 2.0 since it is offically out. Just ran a full conversion at my site (been running 2.0 since rc1) and has a lot of security fixes and optimizations.
Site is http://www.sdx-developers.com (http://forum.sdx-developers.com for the forum)
If you ever need help with SMF let me know.
I can't view the forum: sorry guest, you are banned: spammer. This is at work and at home, with 3 browsers, after clearing cookies on all 3. This has been happening over 90% of the time over the last 2 months. It happened when I hadnt logged in for MONTHS, and I certainly hadn't been posting anything. It's obvious that my account isnt blocked, since I was able to log in on my phone. It happens when clicking on google results when I'm not logged in or trying to log in.
My roommate has no problems viewing the board, nor do my coworkers. This leads me to believe it's not an ip ban.
So if it's not my account and it's not an ip ban, what is it?
Thanks!
Ps, it would really help if there was contact info somewhere on gstwins for issues like this.
it lists you as banned by ip, we're working on it
Not really a problem, but a question of the new board.
What is the KARMA rating? Where does that come from?

Karma comes from what users give. I can turn it off. Its basically cloud users giving you good karma for your good behavior on the board.

Would it be possible to look into a image resize option like http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1769 for embedded images?

sure next time I take the server down I shall do that. Image Resize is already set but only for uploaded images not linked. I'll fix that in 2 weeks.
I've sent two PMs to The Buddha regarding buying some jets and neither of them have shown up in my sent messages. Is this normal? I don't want to spam Buddha :P.
It appears I can send a message to myself and receive it but it won't show up in my sent box either, which means Buddha got two PMs :(.
I'm pretty new around here, but I have one respectful suggestion: Lock the size of the rotating news banner on the homepage, so that the page doesn't jump around as I'm trying to figure out which of the lovely categories I wish to visit next. (Viewing on Explorer, works the same way on Safari.)
Not really a glitch, but I finally figured out that the answer to the question of what 32*F is in C isn't "0" but "00". Took me long enough.
Uh...it appears as though myself and a lot of others were locked out of the site for the last few days?

Yet, it doesn't appear to have affected everyone because it's obvious people have been posting during the time it was blacked out.
TIME may be based onlocal time of the poster?

Firstly, there's a button with a Mona Lisa on it that does it automatically.
Secondly, it's simply like this: [.img]http://www.yourURLhere.whatever[./img] but remove the periods(.)inside the brackets.
Please - require a SUBJECT for all messages.
I get a lot of messages about parts and stuff. So hard to keep track of what is going on when most messages have a topic of

I've seen other SMforums that have video embedding (for youtube links). That would make the video tutorial thread a whole lot easier to use (and much more of an asset).
My cylinders were getting filled with gas and making my bike smoke horribly when first started. inevitably i knew that the o-rings were bad in the carbs so i unmounted and changed o-rings and put all back together, after starting back up it ran for a solid 10 mins perfectly, as a matter of a fact better than it has ever run for me, i shut off and finished putting the plastics and tank on and restarted and let iddle for another 10 minutes befor i hopped on and tapped the gas easily and it died, now wont start back.... any tips?

Hi I have a 92 gs500 and I had the carbs redone with new neddles and seats and when I got the bike back it started bogging out so I took it back in they said the petcock seal or gasket is broke so would this cause it to mess with the carbs any help would be appreciated

It's been throwing a database error (below) for months, at least, but old pictures in it linked to in old posts are still coming up.
Critical error
There was an error while processing a database query
Didn't want to fuss about it, but begin to be curious if it's just not going to happen going forward, or what?
hello other motorbike enthusiasts i come here to day with a problem i ride a gs500, witch is an ok bike but they get destroyed way to easy. I have had mine for about 15 months brought brand new from the show room and i am just about to hit 18000kms and the bike is already sounding like it wants to die. the choke doesnt work, it wont idle anymore and its getting harder and harder to start. i was wondering if you guys could help me out with fixing it because i have already changed the battery and spark plugs and the carburetor has just been professionally cleaned. I have also checked the air fillter and it looks bad on one side but the other is pritty much clean so i turned it around untill i have the cash for another one.
also its my only form of transport and im a baker so i cant catch the buss into work if it wont start so im rely counting on you guys to help me.
cheers Ados

He said the server was overloaded and the hosting company was pissed about that.
I offered to host it on my company servers for free a number of times but never even a "no thank you" so I guess there never will be one. I've stopped offering.
I could set one up but you would have to log in separately to access it since it would be separate from GStwins. It would be nice to link into gstwins but I don't think he would allow that, considering my offer to just host the photo gallery went to deaf ears.
My 2001 just passed safety and everything on the 10th only needing a rear tire. It's been running well aside from a couple of isolated incidents where the battery is weak so it won't start. I was driving it at 2:30am and it just broke down. I had gas, battery was fine but whenever I hit the throttle it seemed to be too much and it shut down. I'm thinking that it may need a carb cleaning, or that the choke was stuck. When I took the tank off the vent hose wasn't attached so I reattached it. I also changed the spark plugs since it sounded like there was a misfire. Could it be the coil or am I best to go through with cleaning the carb jets?

Hey guys,
I recently changed my oil on my gs500f , 2007, and like many people before, I first tightend the bolts to loose so my oil leaked out when I turned the cycle on, so I then went to tighten it more, and snapped the bolts (not the nut, I'm pretty sure that is the right word) I ordered the new bolts from the Suzuki dealer, and they are coming in. Did this happen to you? And what did you do?
Thanks,
Sean

Second, yes it has happened to many of us. Search.
Third, this thread is for technical issues with the forum. Bike issues can be posted on the General forum: either start a new thread or post in a thread that matches your issues.
