    Welcome!

    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hacker Alert Lockout - No Response from Admin

I am a fairly new member to the forum, but have gotten some great answers and help on the few posts I have created.

I was looking through photos of other bikes in the GSResources main pages and got a "Hacker Alert Lockout!"

I have messaged the Administrator(Frank) a couple times with no reply for several weeks...

Any other members that can help??
 
There's a routine in the forum software that detects multiple attempts to access in quick succession. Frank did alter it somewhat, but it's quite possible it triggered on your logins - there's a pattern to avoid, something like a dozen attempts in less than ten minutes will trigger it and lock you out.
A few members found that refreshing pages too often was triggering it.

However, you might get around it by re-setting your modem and getting a new WAN address. That worked for me on another forum that informed me my IP address was blacklisted, screwy thing.
 
I was clicking back an forth quickly (I guess) on some of the photos of bikes when this occurred. Resetting did not help.

I sent a PM to dpep

Are you back on?
 
Well, at least I am finally back on!
My computer caught a virus and was quarantened at the Computer Doctor's for bout a week.
Got all my data erased (ugh), but did get it up graded to Win 10.

Then spent the next 2 weeks trying to get access to the GS list again.
Now I know what withdrawal is like ;-)
And now I know that this internet is waaay to complicated for me..

But I was able to sign on tonight!
Don't know if dpep got me back on or if I just wore out my blacklist status.

Didn't know if my pleas for help were getting through to dpep
or if I was sending emails and PMs to outer space.

But now I know.
Sounds like dpep was pretty busy with the ICU.
Glad to hear you are out of the ICU and that you are making progress.

Wishing you the best..............
