A few new features were applied to the site:
- Makes in the lists are numbered only when sorted by count. When sorted by name, it makes no sense and clutters the page for nothing. The number of makes has been added beside the filter box on the "all makes" page.
- "Founded in" country added to makes, allowing them to have two countries in case the country changed. This is mostly useful for ex-USSR makes. Sample: https://imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=RAF
- There is now an option to group makes by country (current or founded)
- Number of vehicles for each make is disabled by default, as it is quite heavy for nothing if you just want the list of makes. A checkbox is there to display it when wanted.
- (for admins) Make logo limited to 300x300 instead of 500x500, since it is displayed at 150x150, it is not useful to store large pictures for it
- Box to filter models & chassis codes on each make's page
- The detection of links in messages has been rewritten, this should solve the issue with parenthesis at end of links.
- fixing a small issues with the mobile menu
- Adding a movie: keeping linebreaks in the initial comment that non-admin users must fill with links or info for non-IMDb entries
- When an admin edits another users' message, now there is displayed "admin: " in front of his account name, to make it more clear to users why their messages could be edited by someone else.
- (for admins) Quoting main pictures for regroup/delete now stores the picture in the /3 folder (generic admin account) instead of the admin's own account.

This can happen when your browser has too much cookies for the site (which could be caused by the ad scripts).
If you try to clean the cookies just for imcdb (not all cookies) it should solve the issue.
You can also try to use the other version of the domain, with or without www, so either https://www.imcdb.org or https://imcdb.org depending on which one you are using when you have the issue.
I should try to increase the max header size.
When you can reach the site, you can try checking this page to see the total size of cookies: https://www.imcdb.org/cookies.html or https://imcdb.org/cookies.html
In my case it gives a little less than 4200 bytes, I think the limit is at 8192 bytes.
(I tried to include there a function to delete the existing cookies, but not all can be deleted via javascript, so the most effective is doing it yourself in the browser, but in non-Firefox browsers I'm not sure if you can easily delete the cookies for one site only)

Error101lol
Whenever I click onto a page, it always pops up as some '431 Request header fields too large'. Whenever it is working, it tells me that the site is temporarily down.
Has this issue been addressed?

Thanks and ugh!
If any one see a weird make with "Crown Victoria" ass the model, it was meant to be "Unknown"

No, the model field is still a plain text basic field fully managed by your browser, so if its behavior changed, that's Google/Apple/Microsoft/Firefox's fault this time

Did you do something to tweak the model field? When I open the box, I no longer get the models that I enter frequently (for me "Unknown" was always on top). Now I'm getting the most popular models (Crown Victoria/Mustang/Impala/ etc.)

I unlocked the site, as all seemed OK.

Update done, I'm checking that all works fine before unlocking the site.

Reboot and upgrade in progress, the server will be unavailable for a few minutes (max 15 I think)
