Lufty Report post Posted March 23, 2007 Dear All As a result of an urgent security issue we have upgraded the forum software to the latest version. Normally we always try to give users advance notice of any maintainence however in this particular case we were unable to give any advance notice. The new version of the forum software has some major "look and feel" changes as well as lots of new functionality which will take you some time to get used to. We would like to apologise for the lack of advance notice but I am sure you can appreciate the security and integrity of the forum is our paramount concern. Kind regards Lufty For the forum admins Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canopus Report post Posted March 24, 2007 Is there any particular reason for choosing Invision Power Board? Also, why has the logo vanished? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lufty Report post Posted March 25, 2007 Dear All I have dealt with approximately 30 members so far who are unable to login to the new forum since the software upgrade. If you are unable to login to the forum then please do not do any of the following :- Go through the forgotton password routine as this will not fix the problem Do not attempt to register again as a new user Instead simply email admins@asd-forum.org.uk with the login that you use and we will reset your account for you. A few members have been able to login but are unable to post. Please email admins@asd-forum.org.uk and we will investigate this for you as well although this is proving to be a more difficult problem to fix. If you experience this problem and are an AOL browser user then please try using another Internet Browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Firefox etc. The admins are sorry for any inconvienence caused.

baddad Report post Posted March 25, 2007 Thanks for that lufty I've been getting a few e-mails from local mates who are hiting these types of problems, so will pass on this info in that way too... If other members have friends who they contact outside of the boards too, perhaps we could get a bit of a round robin going? L&P BD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bid Report post Posted March 25, 2007 Sorry to ask for more Lufty, but please is it possible to set the PM tracking and 'logging as sent' as a default option again, rather than having to remember each time you PM?? Hope that makes sense, and realise you're very busy. Bidx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kathryn Report post Posted March 25, 2007 Same here: could log in but not post - also AOL. I had to ask my 9 year old how to get on to Firefox. The print looks slightly fainter and fuzzier - is it just me? I don't think my eyesight's deteriorated in two days! Thanks Lufty! K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lufty Report post Posted March 29, 2007 Dear All The problem with some members logging in appears to be fixed now. The problem with AOL users is temporary fixed however this needs further investigation to find a longer term solution The problem with sending PM messages to some users appears to be fixed as well As always please let me know if you are experiencing any problems with the forum. Kind regards Lufty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lufty Report post Posted April 22, 2007 Dear All A beta (test) version of an update to the forum software has just been announced. I am hoping that this fixes the AOL problems and also the PM message count problem. I will keep you posted but I am guessing it will be another month or so before it is complete and ready to install.
