2023 01 16 - Back online! Working to resolve issues.
« on: January 16, 2023, 11:12:54 AM »
We are back up.  I'm working to resolve theme issues.  If you find anything that isn't working correctly beyond themes please let me know.

Thanks.

Thanks, Cordex - you da man!!!

It won't help posting it here, but for you facebook guys or if you know people here outside of APS who might have this issue: for some weird reason I couldn't get back to the site and was getting a window popup to download a file called "download" after the last reset. I ended up clearing my cache (cookies did nothing) and that cleared things up.

My pleasure.

Okay, themes should be fixed.  If you go to your profile and then Look and Layout you can switch themes.

The old style that I like is called Core Theme, but whatever themes you used to use should be there too.

No, that's the profanity filter, which is as it has been, for better or worse.  CleanTalk weeds out the spam posters so the admins don't have to go through and individually identify the fake accounts.

Sorry, it isn't something most members care about, but I didn't feel like starting a whole new thread to notify the admins.

CleanTalk is the best money APS spends!
Speaking of which, what is the PayPal/whatever address used to donate to the kitty?

Don't worry about it.  I've got it paid up through 2026 already so we don't need to take up a collection for it.  If we're going to raise some money for infrastructure I'd recommend sending Nick1911 cash for keeping up the Other Place.

Now we need to bitch about the other place being several versions behind and needing upgrading... right? ;-)

Thanks cordex!

I guess I should figure out how to use Brave or some similar browser on my phone to access the alternate site.  Are there any free browsers for that?  Last I remember I?d have to pay for a supported browser.

What was funny for me was that on old APS, I was set to "forever" for being logged in, so hadn't logged in in, well, forever. Went to do so when Cordex brought the site up this morning, and got a credentials error. I knew it wasn't my PW, since I use it often enough to get into the admin panel. Turns out that when APS started, I signed in with my old username of BenW, because that's what it is on TFL and THR, where there was already a "ben" at both sites. I changed my nickname here to "Ben" and forgot about that for a minute.  :laugh:

That's caught me a couple of times as well since I changed my user name last year.
