New forums are suddenly in place and I seem mto have reset my password successfully.

New forum is running like treacle at the moment, and all recent posts on the Lounge are missing.

I don't believe all this guff about their IT department slaving away - it is just Dan sitting in his dresssing gown dropping toast crumbs into the keyboad of his reasonably priced laptop . . .

Well, looks total crap to me, very difficult to read

Standard off the shelf V-bulletin set up AFAICS - they can easily tweak the style if people don't like it. I just found it very slow. I am sure it will settle down though. Am annoyed that a pearl I posted in the Lounge earlier this morning has been consigned to history's dustbin though.

V-bulletin may be a better choice than phpBB3 for such a large user base, but why they have made such a meal of moving over to it I am not entirely sure - V-bulletin have a tool for importing content from UBBthreads, so it shouldn't have required too much custom programming.

I like the way the user base on YBW is so pathetically grateful - we could do with a little more of that on here

Aaargh; faster than a speeding sloth (oh, the irony.....) and I can't log in. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? The User Name and Password I'm using are definitely correct.

I've had my password reset but now can't load the forums to log in - 404.

Interesting that if they retain your sent Pms, my isent box had every PM i had ever sent.Brought tears of sadness and laughter to my eyes reading some of my old wind up interchanges with Tom

"You have entered an invalid username or password. Please press the back button, enter the correct details and try again. Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Click here!

You have used 4 out of 5 login attempts. After all 5 have been used, you will be unable to login for 15 minutes."

What's all that about then? Either their database knows my details or not. Will try and get password reset, but pretty sure my email address is an old one.

Dead slow...... zzzzzzz

Maybe its just me being a reactionary old git .. but I find the new layout pretty unusable? What about you?

No need - you've already done it. But does Arsenal work?

I see the Lakesailor Gallery of One-Handed Reading Material is open for business again.

Was working quite quickly for a few minutes but it seems to be slowing down again, now. When I can get it to work, it looks quite promising.

Well I am glad some of you have managed to log in. I could not remember either my username or password. I have used my 5 attempts and am sin-binned for 15 minutes.

I found that they have changed my log-in name back to what it was when I first registered years ago. I changed it last year after a discussion on internet security at the Clyde Scuttlebut rally and FullCircle told me how to change it. I notice that he seems to have reverted to his original user-name as well.

Mind you I found I was logged out of this forum as well. Fortunately I could find my user name and had a lucky guess at the password.

Something to do with cookies, perhaps?

I think you need to use the "forgot my password" button so that the system resets it and emails you a new one. You need to pm Dan to get your user name changed but I think I'll leave it a couple of days.

The post rate seems very slow so I suspect a few folk are having difficulty getting back on.

I had to email Dan because of difficulty logging in. It turned out my username was case-sensitive, and I am pretty sure it wasn't before.
