Would love to.  It alas not sure if I'll be able to 'squeeze' it in. Combe is going to be a squeeze at this rate! :-(

Actually, doing a bit of thinking, if 30k was to be blown on something motorised and I could keep the barge, then sod it, one of these appeals to my quirky nature Posted Image

Bejesus. If I was going to blow £30k on something I think I'd at least choose something with four wheels! Posted Image

Android's fine Posted Image - as is every other browser people use - other than Safari and PiePhones.
Erm, no, it happens on IE and Firefox as well. Not surprising really when you look at the source html - using a single cell with carriage returns in it is it any wonder the buttons jump around when one of them disappears (which is what happens to the refresh button when the shitbox refreshes or when you manually hit 'refresh'). Using the alignment they've used and in the cell this is why it's such a PITA. It smacks of 'My First Website' circa 1997. They should do it properly. At least DISABLE the button instead of making it DISAPPEAR. Fucking idiots. Posted Image

In Topic: shoutbox

The shoutbox can be a real pain in the ass.... Not sure if it's just the iPhone that does this or any browser since 99.99% of the time I'm on the iPhone, but here is the issue;

As the shoutbox refreshes every 10 seconds or whatever it is, the 'shout' button disappears briefly. Unfortunately as it disappears the location of the 'clear' button moves to that where the 'shout' button was. So you can be punching a 'shout', and quite a long one at that, only to find that just as you press the 'shout' button it changes to 'clear' and you lose everything you just typed.

It's almost as if whoever wrote the code did it to piss people off. It results in me saying 'fuck it' to myself quite often, which is why I'm rarely on the shoutbox now as it happens quite a lot.

The fucking idiots that wrote it need to sort it pronto. :popcorn:

In Topic: Water injection pressure switch (Hobbs switch)

I think I'll be fitting a kill switch in the car on mine. I always did think the normally closed switch was wrong on these kits, not because of potential switch failure, but it's not 'fail safe' - if a wire drops off the switch and the circuit breaks the pump just runs.
