Spammers broke the Forums!

Post by Vila »

It seems that the spammers have broken the Forums again. We're working on getting a replacement for the software. Please be patient.

The forum is now running an a temporary new location, with upgrades. The redesign is still ongoing, and there may be some glitches, so please be patient, and meanwhile continue to enjoy the zine!

KNOWN ISSUES:

1. May not properly preserve login sessions, requiring you to log in again after leaving and returning.
2. Dynamic sizing of frame not working. Put in manual override, which leaves a lot of blank space at the bottom of the page.

I like this new format. It feels like the command center of a Volktrang battle cruiser.

Thanks. In fact, many thanks for even having this webzine.

Now, where is the button to push so I can blast to smithereens those bots that mess up the internet?

I was having problems logging to the new Forums, myself. I normally use the Firefox browser as my workhorse, but switching to Chrome solved my Forums access problems. So if you're having problems with one browser, try using a different one and see if that works.

Back at last!!!!

Hey Dan! It looks like the new forum don't like Firefox, does it! It looks like this is going to be a very exclusive group around here for awhile. I have not been reading lately, mainly because it didn't seem worthwhile with the broken forum. Any data on how many have come back?

Just curious.

Firefox doesn't seem to like the new Facebook, either.

Curtis will have to be the one to answer questions about how many have returned.
