Since we have quite a few members at FL who are also members at the VLJ forum a question for my fellow VLJ friends: what's the matter with the forum?
Last week for a couple of days the forum was offline with a rather standard (seen it before) faultmessage.
Then, after a couple of days, the forum appeared to be "on line" again, but I can't log in because it appears I provide an incorrect username and/or password: not so.
I signed on again with a new alias (Better Duck 2) - but now I have been waiting for three days for confirmation by the site admin....

Anybody else experiencing the same problems?
Funny, after the last-but-one downtime we talked about "what if the forum crashes", and one of the solutions was: go over to Fedora Lounge and check there.
So here I am....

They had major problems over the weekend. Even after this, many folks, like me, have had to have their IDs/passwords recreated, or have had to sign up again from scratch under a new ID.

It's working okay now - I was just over there. You should send an email to the moderators at vljinfo@gmail.com if you're a member who can't log in.

I had to register again, and had confirmation within an hour or so. Just did it this morning.

There are still technical problems with VLJ which the team are trying to resolve. A lot of data may have been lost when the forum collapsed last week. Yes, all members have had to re-register. This process is currently done manually, so I guess it depends on the time of day you register as to when you get conformation.

Peter,

Did you use this email address for your confirmation request?

vljinfo@gmail.com attention to Bill French

When I did mine it took about 30 minutes to an hour.

I just tried the site, and they are down again. Looks like it might be a long time before things are resolved.

It's good to know it is not my new Apple mac. :eusa_clap I have been blaming every "unable to log on" on this expensive paperweight.

I think I broke it. I pushed Reply and next thing I knew there was the White Screen O' Death.

Seems to be a glitch.

I'm sure Chris and the boys will get it sorted ASAP. Normal service resuming..etc.

Yes, everyone has to do that. But it is the only way to access the forum!

I also re-registered and sent an email to Bill French to hopefully ease any confusion, as I can't remember if I had previously registered there as Clyde R. as on the lounge or as Clyde from Carolina, the handle I use on other boards.
