New Forum Software
Posted: Sun Aug 31, 2008 4:10 pm
This post is to inform you that the web team has recently upgraded the software powering our forums. With this upgrade, some problems may arise.
Some users might have their password reset. The suspected problem appears to be passwords that were under 6 characters in length. While we don't expect this to be a common problem, if you have trouble logging in, please read all error messages carefully. Requesting a new password is a simple, and automated process that you can complete by following the directions you receive from the website (and subsequent email). Once you receive your new password, activate it by clicking the link in the email, and then log in using the new password. After you have logged in successfully, feel free to change your password to something you can remember.
The other issue that the team has noticed is the lack of avatars. Avatars that were uploaded by the user no longer appear on the site (as opposed to those chosen from the supplied gallery, or those hosted elsewhere on the internet). While the web team is looking into fixing this issue, the simplest solution would be for affected users re-upload their avatars.
There are some minor cosmetic issues that will corrected over the next few days (or weeks?) as well. If you find something that you don't think has been addressed, please send a message to the Garrison Webmaster at gwm@70thexplorers.com . You can also send a private message on the forums to ' mrivorey '.
