There was a new bot not identifying as a bot that was scraping the site, causing slowdowns in the last hour.
It is using fake browser user agent, with old version numbers.
For now I blocked it (and for a few minutes maybe most of the non-Firefox browsers, sorry
)

Crap, it seems that my new filter is a little too wide
- What browser do you use?
- What identifier is returned when you visit this page: http://ksle1.antp.be/user-agent.php ?
I first blocked all what contained "Safari/537.36" but it seems that even if this is an outdated version of Safari, actually many Chrome-based browsers report that info.
So I widened it to those containing ".0.0.0 Safari/537.36" and ".0.0.0 Mobile Safari/537.36" but at least Edge seems to have that.
So I need your input.
Blocking this should be safe, I hope:
'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/11',
'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/10',

IF you still have the error, try closing your browser and opening it again. It probably has put in your session the info that you are a bot

I'm on Opera (v95.0.4635.90) on my old Windows 7 laptop - Opera stopped Windows 7 updates some years back so it's fossilised. Have had no real problems today - some sluggishness but no more than what can happen whenever for whatever reason.

I usually use Chrome. My PC was having issues but later on my laptop I had no issues. Both have been updated recently for Chrome. I haven't had a chance to check the PC again.

The Model origin section is not displayed properly, three tags should be displayed on the same line.
For example:
https://www.imcdb.org/search.php?resultsStyle=asList&sortBy=0&make=Toyota&model=- Corolla+Altis&page=1
https://www.imcdb.org/search.php?resultsStyle=asList&sortBy=0&make=Toyota&model=- Corolla+Altis&page=4
https://www.imcdb.org/search.php?resultsStyle=asList&sortBy=0&make=Honda&model=A- ccord&page=26
Words in "Class: ***" section also should be displayed on the same line.
https://www.imcdb.org/search.php?resultsStyle=asList&sortBy=0&make=Mercedes-Benz&model=GL

That depends on the size of your screen
If there are long model names or long movie titles, they make these columns wider and so less space for other columns.
Maybe I could force these to always stay on one line (except on mobile, where there isn't much space), that would make model & title to wrap faster if needed.
