  20 miles between yesterday and today 😌. 47% battery after ten miles at the limit of pushback (18mph). Must be able to reach 20 miles when managing the speed. For the e-bike the advertise ranges are most of the time far from the reality. Here we are totally in accordance with the technical data’s…. 👍. The 8 miles from the Pint looks very short, I am very happy with my pint X despite I feel slow sometimes . With 453 miles now in 3.5 months, the next goal 500 miles will come soon…🥴.
  Nb, the GT looks interesting with the summer discount. Huge range, it’s not yet a concern for me but…🙄🙄🙄

  @quicksanddyoung Thank you for the kind words... It has been challenging at times.
  Even though it's challenging, kudos to those who put the mileage in. That's "Next Level"
  Since I got my board in 2019 I've still only done 6312 miles.
  Recently I've just been managing to get the minimum 1 mile in.

  Respect to the high mileage crew. 👍👍👍

  @lemur very wise words re backup and is of course exactly what I didn’t do. Lesson learned!

  It seems I have a very narrow sweet spot within which to engage the motor, which is easy to overshoot. Will get a sure start. Thanks for you help.

  Magic smoke got out again?
  Look around and see if someone's already figured it out, otherwise feel free to ask for help.

  @lia
  Lovely. Thanks. 👍
  I have found some other ones too. Once I tackle it I'll confirm what works best.
  Fingers crossed 😉

  Just asking here if anyone (UK ideally) has an XR car charger for sale or loan ?

  Got a road trip planned for about 10 days in July and won't have power where I'm going...

  FM only want $40 for one atm but it's like $75 shipping and then taxes (I think)

  Thought I'd ask here in the first instance.

  It ain't much but it's something.
  These are taking a while to add since there are so many cool pics that I'm barely into topic 105 >.>

  https://archive.owforum.co.uk/gallery/

  Capture.PNG

  The gallery itself is mostly comprised of code by Tim Wells who I've added credit for in a comment in the HTML. Probs not needed but I like to give credit where it's due.

  Before I add more I need to:

  Change how the images align so it's hozizontally instead of vertical. Then I can attempt to lazyload anything in an <img> tag so it only tries once you're bringing it on screen. If I don't fix the alignment order it'll need to load everything before actually figuring out the order which would be bad for performance. Add an auto scroll to drag the archive page a little down because posts are loading from the top rather than from the base of the banner leading to posts clipping off screen. Add the rest of the images slowly. Maybe add breaks between years or something. Tweak the hover animation. Although a fun effect grey scaling the images when not hovered just makes the page bland. Adjust the header colours or make a revised logo instead.

  Each image thanks to the recent post tagging work @biell put in links to the image from the thread it was taken which is a neat feature :)

  So far I just have the 3 rules for getting in the gallery.

  No screenshots Images must be of okay quality Images with kids won't be added.

  Should also work on mobile, spent some time tweaking the page so when scaled on that sort of screen it looks okay.

  Edit 1:

  Made a bunch of changes... omg why did I choose to build the site manually!
  Capture.PNG

  First up I've gone for a basic grid that crops in the images to fit a pre-defined space and only scrolls vertically instead of the prior solution that was incredibly clunky after spending 2 days getting it working >.>

  Next up I changed the logo and moved the description into the footer.

  Another change was to make the images not all load at once. Now they only load when you scroll to them. However they don't unload so I need to figure out how to do that else I doubt most will get very far before you inevitably run out of ram.

  Hovering over an image displays the original uploader and the date/time. I manually enter these as with the rest of the image link and post link so it takes a while to add these. As such I might be a bit more strict with what gets added.

  And yes, mobile is usable :)

  Edit 2:

  After some research Lazy load isn't ideal at all. I'll probably have to manually make thumbnails for each of these instead to lower the page size and up performance >.>

  Would be simpler if I wasn't pulling them from the archive and jut had a singular directory with them all in but then cross-referencing them would be a nuisance. Slow simple solution is better than a slow complex one ;)

  @biell I will honestly say I'm probably the worst for it 😖

  If anyone notices some pages that are slow gimme the linky and I'll manually trigger the resizing regardless of post owner.
