Forum upgrade

Post by VisiGod »

We're going to upgrade the forum tomorrow into a new software version. I'll try to keep the same password but if any of you can't login, please reset your password since it will work now. Also, if your email is not updated, please send me an email to visigod_AT_metpage.org!

Forum was migrated to phpBB.

You can also change your password since with the new forum, the issue was fixed.

Please let me know if you have any issues login in since some members had different username/display name.

Had two issues:
1. I had to reset password to login.
2. after login, session probably dropped after clicking reply so I had to login again.

other than that great update :)

Can we make that setting a global default for all users?

I enabled the setting, sent a test message, and it took 20 minutes for it to show up. Not sure what is causing the significant delay.
