  1. The issue with the SSL certification on the forum has been resolved, so everything should be back to normal now.

      Is there a way I could get back to my old account that I got locked out of @ZippyRedPlumber?

  2. Do not post anything political in status updates (or elsewhere on the forum). Thank you!

  3. Merry Christmas!

  4. This is a test of the emergency broadcast system.  This is only a test.

  5. Please refrain from making religious or politically-related posts to AtariAge. This includes status updates, posts, signatures, and so forth. Thank you.

  6. Do not use status updates to post about politics or you will lose your ability to post status updates without warning.

      A couple people were already kicked and the same goes for racist bullshit, it has no place anywhere and especially not on AA.  We have people from all over the world, this is neutral safe ground.

      Al,

       

      I tried registering and it didn't work. After typing in my Username, email address, and creating a password it then prompted me to Continue, but it would not let me. 

  8. Do not use Status Updates to talk about politics or you will lose the ability to post status updates. Thank you.

      I often wonder, if people who still don't get the message about NO POLITICS, are all working on machines, that kick yourself in the nuts.  They should get together and make one unit, that kicks really hard.  Thanks Al, I am fighting compile issues.

      No, discuss religion instead!  Hahahaha.

  9. Rebuilding search index to see if that fixes problems with some results not showing up..  This will take several hours.

      I think I completely nuked access to that forum on purpose. It's not coming back.

    3. Albert

      Oh, and the Politics and Religion forum wasn't for subscribers.  The only people in it (for the most part) were those who were originally in it when that forum was still publicly visible to everyone (well, everyone logged in).

      Can't live for tomorrow

      I play games on consoles to get away from the repetitive stress of a PC mouse. If it's not released on the PS4, I'm not interested.

  12. Sorry for the "Checking your browser" screen, we've been under heavy bot attack since around midnight.  Forum should be much more responsive now.

      Just tried again and am NOT getting the Browser Checking screen. Even cleared cache, etc. and tried using both Firefox and Safari. Thought you might want to know...

      Yes, I'm aware of it, as I turned it back off.

      Are you sure they are broken?

      Just noticed that on a status update I replied to, hit Submit, but didn't appear to do anything. Hit submit again, same thing. Reloaded the page and saw I replied twice. So, your submission is getting posted - just that you can't tell.

  15. Going to update forum software later today. Mostly bug fixes, but will allow you to search your entire history of private messages, versus just one year!

      Did you perform the upgrade already? Everything seems much snappier and more responsive now.

  19. The "Who's Online" list at the bottom of the forum index is now sorted alphabetically again.  Your name will always appear first, though.

      Albert, I really...need to give you a hug for AtariAge, and doing everything that you to, to make this place as awesome as it is. I am really starting to appreciate, just how hard it is to build a community.

    3. Albert

      Albert

      @tschak909 Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you're enjoying the site! It can be as much work as you make it, really.  This forum upgrade was a long time coming, and there was quite a bit of preparation work involved (without that, it would have been a bit of a disaster I'm sure).  Plus I had to rewrite all the software on the main site, and the store also had to be upgraded at the same time (although that wasn't as tedious as the forum and the main site).  I still have a lot of work to do on the main site, as there's plenty of broken and missing pages there.  The main database mostly works fine, though.  And I still have a fair amount of forum-related work remaining but it's coming along nicely at this point.

      @Random Terrain As long as the members are all listed alphabetically, that's good. : )

      Any luck correcting the permissions issue that's causing me to be unable to leave a status update?

      @malrak You should now be able to post a Status Update.

  21. I have enabled Tapatalk again, for those who were previously using it.

      Thank you so much for the Tap-A-Talk. I feel much more connected again. I guess my "Subscriber" donation kinda helps this cause. It probably doesn't cover it all but I really appreciate you doing this @Albert .

  22. "Indefinite Editing" in selected forums (Marketplace, Programming, High Score Clubs) should be working again, as well as any specific posts people have been granted to edit.. 

  23. If you can't create Status Updates, go into your profile and make sure "Enable Status Updates" is checked.

      One thing though... you can't delete your status update? I see it now... under Options, then choose delete. Another example where it takes more clicks to do something.   :)

       

      I see you cannot delete what you've replied to on someone else's profile. Going to have to be more careful what we write if not... :dunce:
