Important changes coming December 1 -- Please read
JohnCh replied to JohnCh's topic in General Sevens Discussion
The only step you have is the following, which was also the primary message on the alert you should have seen when you logged in: If that is confusing, click the link provided, then look at the email address which appears in the middle of that page. If it is your current email address, then you're good. That is the email address you will use to sign in and also is where you receive notification emails. If it's an old email address, then click "change" to the right and update it on the next page. The rest of the information was to apprise you of things that will look or operate slightly differently than they do today. This way when you visit the site after the update, you won't be surprised and incorrectly think there is an issue. -

@32eachtime I'm not sure if this is sarcasm without an emoji, or if you really do have a question. Please clarify. Thanks, John -

The expanded forum issue identified in my initial post has been fixed in testing. The list of topics in each forum will now appear condensed by default as it does today. To (hopefully) avoid confusion, I've struck through that item in my initial post and marked it as resolved. -

Given the criticality, I'm placing this as a sticky post in the General forum for the time being to maximize visibility. The migration to Invision Community V5 is scheduled to begin shortly after midnight PST on December 1. The forum will be offline for approximately one day while the upgrade is completed. This is a major platform upgrade, not a routine update. Think Windows 10 vs. Windows 8 or iOS 26 vs. iOS 25. Invision used this release to make significant changes to its underlying codebase, which means some aspects of the forum experience have changed. What You Need to Know You will now log in using your email address, not your username. Beginning December 1, the forum will require the email address associated with your account for sign-in. This change improves security because usernames are publicly visible, while email addresses are not. Please verify that your email address is current and update it if necessary: https://usa7s.net/ips/settings/ Failure to do so could leave you unable to access your account. The editor has changed. The editor toolbar is no longer customizable by the Admin, so some functions have moved or are now located within submenus. For example, to create a bulleted list, click the + icon and select Bulleted List from the menu that appears beneath. The Preview feature has also been removed. Invision's rationale is that the editor now functions as a live preview, with formatting changes such as bold, italics, and color displayed immediately as you type. Forum view is now permanently expanded. The Expand/Condense toggle remains available in the Activity Feed, but it has been removed from the Forums view. Thread listings will now always display a brief snippet of the opening post beneath the title. RESOLVED Unread Content has moved. The Unread Content link is now located in the top navigation bar, next to the Reported Content icon on the far right. Club Membership has been renamed. The navigation item formerly labeled Club Membership is now called Support USA7s. Club Membership remains available as a submenu under that heading. The home page has been redesigned. The layout has been updated to address usability issues present on mobile devices. Final Notes I've worked to keep the overall look and feel of the forum as close to the current version as possible. However, some differences were unavoidable because of changes introduced by Invision. After the migration is complete, please report any problems, bugs, or unexpected behavior in this thread so I can investigate and address them.

Another great video production by @CBuff. Love it! I particularly enjoyed watching the 4 second section starting at 1:33 on an infinite loop

There are no issues linking to another car forum. This isn't a competiton.

@CarYenta, you have a PM! -
That might explain what happened to the left front wing...again!

Did Bruce bring CatKong with him, or at least proof of life? 😁

2026 Annual HPDE Hosted by NJMP Drivers Club - October 17/18, 2026
JohnCh replied to Croc's topic in National Events
I hope you all have a great time! I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures and reading the public shaming of those who failed to read the requirements before arriving -
Congratulations! It's always such a relief when the car moves under its own power for the first time. What's left before you call it done and venture out for a proper drive? Just the front wings and the passenger seat?

The harness for the coils is a known issue, and it behaves like you're describing when a wire develops a fracture. I'd start there. You might be able to find the offending wire(s) with a multimeter and some luck recreating the conditions or simply treat it like a wear item and replace it. Rocky Mountain or Beachman Racing might have one in stock.

@dsscats bought it a few months ago.

Raceline Zetec Sump (and topside oil extractor woes)
JohnCh replied to Slonie's topic in General Tech
Raceline can be incredibly slow responding to email. I'd call the tech line which goes directly to Peter (the sales number goes to Chris). It might take a few attempts, but he's very helpful when you get a hold of him. Since you are in CA, I suggest calling no later than 7am your time to increase your odds of reaching him.
