    Feedback sought for Pedelecs site update

    Hi NRG, There are three main things we are looking to do. 1) Break away from relying on vBulletin for the whole site given the recent hacks. We may carry on using it for the forum or we may look at switching to another product such as XenForo. 2) The main site (news, guides, directories...

    Is your pedelec legal? From CTC's cycle magazine

    Indalo - I don't actually find this post very helpful. It is a thinly veiled threat. I, as well as you, are fully aware of our responsibilities, posts have been edited and, importantly, it seemed clear that others involved in this thread had both voiced opinions and sorted out their differences...

    Forum conduct - take note!

    Eddie, that is a different issue. There will be some additional moderation coming on board shortly to help deal with that. However, regardless of whether a topic goes off course or not, there is no justification for any member to insult another.

    Pedelecs reported as an attack site

The exploit allowed them to redirect the forum to another site and also send...

    Pedelecs reported as an attack site

    The exploit is within vBulletin. Unfortunately we can patch it but not stop it entirely yet until vBulletin release an update. There are quite a few vB sites affected.

    Pedelecs reported as an attack site

    We've found the culprit, someone had managed to insert an outgoing link into one of the vbulletin source files. All traces have been removed and we've reported the attack to vBulletin so they can patch it.

    Temporary removal of threads

    OK, let me make this clear to you. If we receive complaints then we have to be seen to deal with them fairly and promptly. That means potentially taking the offending posts/threads offline while we investigate. Seek legal advice if we are unsure If it is necessary we will draft an alternative...
