(sorry for doublepost)

If I may, one more question to Victor about the manual: like 3-4 years ago I mailed you about installing an extension to MediaWiki, to be able to use the {{#if:}} and other parser functions in Templates. You did it and it worked perfectly, I built some templates using it ( https://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Template:League_infobox#Example ). After the recent upgrades it seems like the "ParserFunctions" extension ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ParserFunctions ) is no longer available and the template is now broken. Could you please install the extension again?

Whoops I forgot to remove that message. The manual does work again but logins are still disabled for now.

Thank you!

I had to upgrade PHP and Mediawiki and they changed their whole 3rd party authentication system. I still have to re-implement logging in with your LFS account.

Those upgrades you did were probably the cause of fixing the old(er) image sizing issue on the Manual (reported here: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/92435)! Thanks! Also, seems like I'm still logged in on the Manual, probably from an earlier session, as I don't usually log out. Is it safe to edit, or should I wait until you reimplement LFS account login?

Image sizing/alignment issue solved by the recent updates (MediaWiki, PHP, or any of those updates) made by Victor!

Car 80 got a warning in-race, but he needs to be much more careful into braking zones overall. He keeps braking into others multiple times, and this now caused a great, great crash with causing several cars massive damage.

There are some nicely written setup guides on the LFSManual, but unfortunately it has been in "maintenance mode" for 3 days now.

I do not press the pedals but they appear as if they are being loaded. How can I solve? Thanks.

I see your brake pedal is engaged - if you didn't press it and it still appears like this, try to invert the Brake axis (set Inverte 0 to 1, in the row of brake axis).

I would suggest to try pressing Shift+C while on-track, with wheel already plugged in. This reinitializes controllers, so it might help (it helped me a couple times before). This can also be done by clicking Refresh in Options - Controls, top-right corner.

Today, the Live for Speed Community Discord Server surpassed 1,000 members!

A little more than three years ago, our initial goal with the server was to create a centre for community interaction, other than the official forum, for people to chat with others about LFS (previously, this was filled by the LFS GameSurge IRC server). Over the recent years, the server was steadily growing to this milestone - there are 1,000 of us on the server now!

If you or some of your friends are still missing from the server, feel free to join or invite them using this link: https://discord.com/invite/wZrUTJN

We'd like to take this opportunity to welcome every one of you, along with thanking everyone who has stuck around for months or years. Thank you for joining us, and making the server and the Live for Speed community as a whole what it is today. Here's to thousands more! See you online!

Quote from Scawen :

But to confirm that, are any of you getting the same fault with the official version?

I've had these problems while using the official version 0.6U.

Something to add, might help: during the races of last days, I've had server joining hang on skin downloads couple of times (I press Alt+F4 so on the next try it joins fine), but when joined, most of the cars are just plain white (like if I turned skin downloads off in-client, but I didn't: I was using the 512 option all the time).

I also do my best to report spam and I don't recall any spam to remain on the forums for more than 6-12 hours, so I think it's not a problem on the forum at the moment (mods seem to do their jobs, also, if they won't be able to handle it, they can always recruit more mods).

Though I like the suggestion, but as @neonmateo pointed out, it's not really okay to restrict new players from for example seeking help. Imagine they have an installation or unlocking issue: they won't be able to ask for help here (on the official forums!), and since they can't go online to drive the required distance, in the end they can't get help. There might be a way around this: make only one forum visible (e.g. Technical Assistance), and when they have 5-10kms on the record, open up the whole forum. Note, this might concentrate all spam into the technical assistance forum - that's not good either.

I still don't think the spamming issue is that huge right now.

For the last 3-4 weeks I also noticed skin downloading errors, both on my client and also heard from others on servers that there are skin download issues. I also got stuck on joining servers, while LFS was attempting to download a skin.

I thought it's just temporary but after the last month, it's getting frustrating There might be a problem with the skin delivery server?

In Options - Screen, you can change between various Windows/Fullscreen modes. This also can be done with a keyboard shortcut: press Shift + F10 to get into fullscreen mode.
