ROMEOS

Here is an update, now almost 3 weeks after I purchased and implemented the firewall to protect our server. Notice the decline in 'total sessions' as the bots are not getting to our website now and are going away. Also notice in the lower panels the incredible number of bots that are scanning our w...

If you still can't login to the forums here please email me (jerry@romeoriders.com) or send a message through the contact form (https://romeoriders.com/contact-us/). The issue is caused by the new firewall server that I purchased a few weeks ago to stop the blizzard of attacks from Singapore. The s...

Update 8/7/2025 After a day of the firewall operating I looked in the control panel. Here are a few statistics from the firewall after just a day. The threats and bots shown were all blocked by the firewall. This is what I was hoping to see. And now you can get an idea of why we were getting errors ...

Greetings everyone, for relative newcomers I am Jerry the webmaster for the Romeo Riders website and forums. The website has been very slow and even timing out with the error message "Too Many Requests" for the last couple of days. It took me a while to understand what was happening becaus...

Quick post here to see if the email works. I subscribed to this forum so I should get an email.

Mike, it is my fault! I did it!! I have been copying pics into the right folder trying to recover the many thousands that were lost in the recent server migration (see my post in the "General Discussion" forum). I finished copying them today and I'm afraid I copied over your pics from toda...

Ok, I finally got it sorted out and all (most?) of the attachments and pics should work now. After consulting the experts and experienced wizards in the support forums I finally worked through all the various transfer settings and processes to get the pics in the right place and the right formats. I...

Many apologies to everyone for the website being down for the last couple of days. I have been emailing the ride coordinators to keep them informed but I can't email everyone so I am making this post. Last Friday, Feb 21, I renewed our Internet hosting plan. After many phone calls over the last coup...

This comes up from time to time so I thought I would make a post to answer people's questions about it. If you go back and look thru old posts prior to March 2016, you will find a lot of posts with missing pics. This happened when I did a large system upgrade and something happened in that process t...

Dennis, I appreciate your interest in possibly setting up a new 'chapter' or ride group in your area. Many have asked over the years and very few have followed up or made it successful. It is quite easy, but then again, someone has to step up and make it happen and few can stick with it. Here is the...

"We lost one of our favorite Romeos last Sunday. Fox was on his way to the Sunday breakfast ride when he was involved in a hit-and-run. The person involved was caught and is being charged with vehicular manslaughter. " "Fox was the Ride Coordinator for South Texas for many years, whi...

Just testing the new addition and if the email is sent.

I just made a 'how-to' post in the "Tech Support" forum on how to make your display font larger. I reference it here because if you are not subscribed to that forum you won't get notified of any new posts. To read it just click on the "Tech Support" forum from the "Forum Hom...

I have wondered for years if there was a way to make the font just a little bit bigger in these forums. I finally found a way to do it! First, a quick tip. For any website or any page in your browser, just press the control ('command' key on a Mac) and "+" (plus) keys at the same time. Thi...

You may have heard or read recently about the "epidemic of loneliness" in the US. I think most of the talk is about the effects of the Covid lockdown and social media on the younger generations (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.). But this also affects us in the older generations as we l...

Greetings and welcome, Charles! If you would like to start your own Romeo Riders area I have some tips and advice. I can create a new Romeo group quickly and set it up. I would advise you to have a few friends to start with so you can post and they will respond and attend your lunch (or breakfast) r...

Still testing the email notifications going out with new topics. I purged the cache of static content like templates, etc.
