Some members may not be seeing all of Slotblog right now. It's some weirdness with the permissions matrices used to determine which groups see what at Slotblog. For some odd reason, the correct settings won't save now.
IPS has received a trouble ticket regarding the problem and we hope it will be resolved shortly.

As a temporary workaround, to read everything but not to post or PM, log-out and view Slotblog as a guest.

I logged out to view everything, then when I logged back in, I lost what portion I could see before logging out.
Now the Starting Line & Model Cars sections are back.

First two segments only for me no matter what browser I use or how I view it.

Looks like the problem involves a PHP variable, which has been exceeded due to Slotblog's size. Hopefully this will be resolved shortly.

Greg,
Did you have one of those early morning... " 'Ah, I think I'll do some fine tuning"... moments?

Bob,
Actually, no, but what I was doing almost certainly did cause the problem.
I was making Rich Vecchio's new Electron Raceway forum visible by editing the Members permission matrix and for some reason, a large number of the permissions had become unchecked. I could recheck then but then they would not save, no matter how many times I tried.
Turns out there a setting in the PHP software configuration that sets a maximum number of variables and Slotblog was now trying to use more variables than it was set for. It just took some help from IPS support to figure out what the problem was and some more assistance from my web host to learn how to to increase that number for Slotblog.

Well, what I was doing that caused the problem was somethng I had promised Rich Vecchio, so it wasn't much spur of the moment. It was a promise.
And I don't mind doing a little geek-speak for those that have an interest in what happened.
The PHP layer is more than Greek to me, and is a large reason Slotblog is hosted on commercial servers, so I don't have to deal with server software to a large extent.

Just for jollies, let me show a small part of the Members permission matrix:
This matrix, and it's the same for all of the other permission groups, is 361 lines x 6 checkboxes.
