We've got the Llandovery Bike Weekend on Sunday. £30... to split! But the event supports Blood Bikes Wales.

Decent money!

Not my bass, but this lovely ~1961 P-bass is possibly the prettiest I've ever come across. Paul has had it, if not from new, at least since the 70s. Lovely patina and natural wear, the scratchplate is gently rippled without splits. Paul uses a really thumping warm tone with a bit of natural overdrive through a Markbass combo. Last night he was out with Junior Hacksaw, but he also plays with the legendary Snatch it Back. My partner says most men would be in trouble if they looked at a woman like I was looking at this bass...

I will try that when I get back to my pc. Peesumably related, my bank requires me to authenticate with their app every time I log in although they claim you only have to do it once per device. They said it was a firefox thing... iirc

I don't have enhanced tracking protection enabled.

Yes. Including Authenticator.

DAMNATION! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 I closed firefox on my PC. When I opened it again, I'm still logged into all my websites - except I have to log in and verify for Basschat. Please, someone tell me that I'm not the only person with this issue? My settings are completely vanilla except for Adblock.

Test on phone.

I've had a whole series of unexpected issues... I disabled it, then re-enabled it using my PC instead of my phone, and it seems to work, except when first returned to my PC it asked me to set up authenticator again... but my phone said this would delete the old version. A refresh solved this. One glitch, Autheticator calls the account 'GMAIL' by default, can the setup be altered to call it BASSCHAT automatically as this will lead to confusion if people don't change the name and a few months down the line don't know that using 'GMAIL' in Authenticator to get back in.

It's possibly a firefox issue. I don't clear settings on exit.

I prefer fingerprint as more reliable. It still requires manual entry of the pin from authenticator.

Ah. The killer. I've just discovered that. I access BC on both my PC and phone and logging in on one niw logs me out on the other. I now have the choice of disabling it or visiting BC a lot less often.

<sheepish> found three passwords in firefox two with different capitalisation of my email and one for user name. Looks like it was autofilling the wrong one.

Hmm. Autofilled password from firefox wouldn't work but cut and pasted did. Good grief, hard to do on a smartphone, I gad to set up a complex system of mirrors and lenses to scan the qr code. OK I did it manually but every time you switch windows I have to unlock authenticator again. These things are the bane of my life, why can't a website be set up to ask a programme for my thumbprint and if OK let me get on with life. Using my business bank account on my phone today I had to 'unlock' six times to make two payments and confirm I really wanted to do what I was doing about 18 times. Actually it may have been more than that... <fades into the distance grumbling louder than @Frank Blank's borborygmus...>

I'm sure I am using the right password, but I will have a go.

This, seriously.

Now I've been locked out...

And yes it is the correct password, I tried letting Firefox autofill and typing it myself. It's to a pattern I use for ones I need to remember while effectively being random characters.

I'm off to a bad start...

Good for your cholesterol too!

It puts hairs on your sporran!

One idea is to offer a someone a free gig if they accept we would spend the first 30-45 minutes faffing around.

The Bastards are brilliant. Shame it's not nearer to South Wales 😞

I don't have any vulnerabilities here.
