Any photos of the sudocream-ed cat? And any update on the outcome?
Whilst the formatting has failed and gone super wide, this page also opens and jumps to the video below the comments box.
Any page with the super wide format seems to do that for me. Normal formatting that fits my phone screen doesn't jump to the video at bottom of the page.
Regardless of how difficult the forum is to navigate I will always subscribe as the people on it know far more than google.
I'm loving all the replies saying everything is fine as I'm typing this in what looks like font size 0.5 as the display on my phone has opted for what I could only think to describe as 'Bayeux Tapestry Landscape' and this is the only way to see enough of what I am typing. Now I've got to scroll about a mile to the right for the reply button, which may or may not decide to work.
🤣🤣🤣
And obviously, this is the only forum and webpage that does anything like this on my phone.
To echo above, thisforum is dying if not dead yet. Most of my riding buddies used to be on here a lot. They simply don't bother now unless they want to start a topic asking for advice.
Jeez there's some right miserable folk on here today. If you don't like it, leave.
It's only this thread that has the weird layout. Did the sudocrem coated cat get into the server?
Any photos of the sudocream-ed cat? And any update on the outcome
No photos,but I did hear that the Sudocrem cat had kittens,that the child left home,and there is no Sudocrem allowed in their student accommodation.
Blimey, yes. From 2012, I guess that means the daughter could well be going to university now or next year. Wonder if she took her emergency union jack. There seemed to be a few times when that would have been useful for my daughter while living in a shared house. 🤣
@Markie are you still knocking about?
If you don't like it, leave.
In the end, I probably will.
But that's not a great business model IME.

Hey @oakwood if you subscribe a lot of the issues you rightly point out will vanish.
There's a bug that is part of the wpforo forum software that means it doesn't deal with overly long urls very well that leads to the page width on mobile being set to the width of the url. Wpforo support are aware of it but we'll likely put in our own fix before they do. In the meantime, if you add a link that doesn't automatically format itself into a thumbnail image fo the site you are linking to then you can use the add link button in the edit window menu to add links that won't break the page. For technical reasons (not ours) deep links to specific pages on waybackmachnine.org won't render out correctly as they are using a clever url format that embeds database queries into the url. In other words these links are not normal url links.
Sorry about this bug - it comes with the software but we'll get it fixed.
We will also look at why the thread hasn't imported correctly next week.
I like how Brenna, who joined about 8 days ago, has posted two replies that look quite AI generated. So here's what Copilot told me:
Oh dear, that sounds like quite the predicament! Sudocrem is notoriously thick and stubborn, especially on fur. Here’s what might help:
- Use a mild shampoo – A gentle pet shampoo (or even a small amount of dish soap) can help break down the cream. Try massaging it in and rinsing thoroughly.
- Cornstarch or flour – These can help absorb the excess cream, making it easier to brush out.
- Warm damp cloth – A warm, damp cloth can help soften the cream before attempting to remove it.
- Consult a vet – If the Sudocrem is deeply embedded or causing distress, a vet might have better solutions.
It might take a few rounds of cleaning, but patience is key! How’s your cat handling the situation? Hopefully, not plotting revenge. 😅
Check on catworld forum for a thread about what my servants child has smeared on me this time for useful answers
Thanks @PJay@MrOvershoot it looks like there might be a way to recover your lost post.
The original thread was https://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/im-in-need-of-some-support-from-you-lot-sad-content-im-afraid/
It's throwing up a 404 error. I wonder if @Greybeard or someone else cleverer than I can pull it out of WayBackMachine with a title rather than a date?
@Mark might have someone who can fish it out of the old database. It looks like the migration might have been incomplete.
It looks like the migration might have been incomplete.
It does look like that - if I look at the list of threads started by MrOvershoot, it's not there. But I have found it on archive.org, and rather than further destroy the formatting of this thread I've sent the link to him.
Edit: Rats! It's only archived the first page, sorry Mr O, hopefully Mark can find it.
I'm only getting the first page too (although it's showing links to 2 pages).
Fingers crossed it still exists in the old database & can be retrieved.
On the plus side I now have the big list of all the the threads I've started back. That's nice.

Agree. YouTube you have to pay for to remove the adverts but at least it still works for free users.
Good news! We found everything. My initial heart stopping moment was that we may have deleted everything from the old system when we 'thought' we'd successfully migrated everything. But its all there. It just needs slotting back into the database. Andy has already written the code to start that process. Bad news is it's a very resource hungry process so while he's running the import the site will slow. So Andy is doing it all gradually in batches and it will take mayb a week to get everything in place. There's already 2 years of missing replies back now. The stats at the bottom of the forum that display total posts is a way to track the progress. On Thursday that was 3.9 million. At time of posting it's 4.4 million. IN the chat forum I thik that takes us back around 9 years so far.
Is MrOvershoot's post there? This is a missing thread, not just missing replies. It doesn't seem to have made a reappearance yet.
