We've moved to new software! (Obviously...)
« on: May 30, 2018, 07:58:03 PM »
We'll be posting various tidbits about the new board software shortly, but the really important thing is that you will have to reset your password; the old passwords were not migrated (the conversion script doesn't do that - something to do with the hashing...).

Simply hit "forgot password" - you'll get an email pretty much immediately, and then reset your password. You can use the same one you were using before if you wish - just make sure it's a secure PW and not one you use for every other site in creation. ;)

Also, you may need to edit/re-upload your avatar - those got left behind. Signatures with HTML in them or BBCode may need some attention as well. And definitely let us know if you need help for any reason.

If you do not receive an email re: the password reset, please let us know - we can check/change the email associated with your account (or reset your PW for you).

Lots of changes still to come - we're working on various themes (you can try those out via your profile - they're all still works in progress, so bear with us!) and still learning our way around too.
