UPDATE/VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. Forums software shift imminent. - Orion Pobursky - 2016-03-26
We will be shifting to a new software platform for the forums very soon. All your account info (including passwords) and posts should make the switch but in case there is a bug in the conversion script (I'm not perfect after all), your email address will need to be up to date in order for you to regain access to your account. You can find the form to update here:

Thank you for your continued participation in LDraw,
Orion Pobursky

Hi Orion, I cannot vote on the PT anymore:
PT Wrote:Sorry, your userid must have reviewer privileges to post a 'hold' or 'certify' review, I think this is related to that move, right?
Would it make sense to place a note at the PT that it temporarily cannot be used
(during the move)?
Re: UPDATE/VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. Forums software shift imminent. - Max Martin Richter - 2016-03-28
Not sure what's wrong with your account, but I can vote at least 'hold'.
Re: UPDATE/VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. Forums software shift imminent. - Chris Dee - 2016-03-28
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
The PT authentication had been modified in preparation for the forum switch. Currently it should authenticate against this (Phorum) forum, if you are logged in here. Otherwise it will try to authenticate against your new (myBB) forum credentials.

Seems to work fine for me.
Re: UPDATE/VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. Forums software shift imminent. - Heiko Jelnikar - 2016-03-28
I can't upload my files.
Re: UPDATE/VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. Forums software shift imminent. - Steffen - 2016-03-28
I logged out here and in again, but still cannot vote "certify" here:

Re: UPDATE/VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. Forums software shift imminent. - Orion Pobursky - 2016-03-28
try logging into the beta site:
http://beta.ldraw.org/mybb
See if that allows you to post.
Re: UPDATE/VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. Forums software shift imminent. - Heiko Jelnikar - 2016-03-28
I can post there.
Re: UPDATE/VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. Forums software shift imminent. - Orion Pobursky - 2016-03-28
Anything you post there will be wiped out when I do the conversion. I posted that link for troubleshooting Parts Tracker logins only. If you're having issues with the forums then start a separate topic.
Re: UPDATE/VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. Forums software shift imminent. - Heiko Jelnikar - 2016-03-28
I posted that i can't submit files.
The Parts Tracker shows 'Sorry, your userid must have submit privileges in order to submit files.'

I tested the beta site and I confirm I may log in there. But my name is shown as "Milan Van?ura" instead of "Milan Vančura". Probably the text encoding information got lost during the data transport but I cannot what (all) data are affected. Text of comments, profile items... Please, look at this.
Re: UPDATE/VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. Forums software shift imminent. - Orion Pobursky - 2016-03-29
Thanks for the report. It was indeed a character encoding problem with the script. This should be fixed next time I run the convert script.
Re: UPDATE/VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. Forums software shift imminent. - Chris Dee - 2016-03-29
Please try now.
Re: UPDATE/VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. Forums software shift imminent. - Chris Dee - 2016-03-29
Does it work now?
Re: UPDATE/VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. Forums software shift imminent. - Heiko Jelnikar - 2016-03-29
Now it works correct.
Thank you for fixing it.
Re: UPDATE/VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. Forums software shift imminent. - Steffen - 2016-03-30
yes!
Re: UPDATE/VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. Forums software shift imminent. - Chris Dee - 2016-03-31
Thanks.

Now that this new (myBB) forum is live, the Parts Tracker is only authenticating submit and review permissions by checking that you are logged in to this site. Any cookies for your old (Phorum) forum login, even if unexpired, are ignored.
