Matt is still working on the site. The forums are currently down for me so I suspect there is heavy maintenance going on to get to the latest version of the forum software and then implement the SSL. We have had a number of late nights this week with Matt fixing things and some of us testing the fixes.
I'm trying to download / want the original IoW LT stock (prior to the current(!) 1938 stock)...!!! Eric
The email send out of passwords isn't up yet - ping me a DM and i'll reset it manually for you. The main site and downloads should be operational currently. The forums are down with a holding message atm while I upgrade them to new forum software but the database migration for that takes hours so it'll be a while and then i'll need to get my own changes to it re-hacked in so that it works with UKTS properly again. I expect it to come back Sunday some time. Matt.
Click on his name.. Click on "Start a Conversation" Only you and Matt will see the conversation, i.e DM = Direct Message (Some of us older generation call them PMs (Private Messages) too, but it's the same thing). (Sorry Matt got a bit carried away in PaintShop )
Thanks Reef... I was looking for a DM option rather than "start a conversation"!!! By the way, doesn't Matt look younger... Eric
Forum is down, i'm trying (and not having otns of luck it has to be said) to get it upgraded so it supports the new PHP version. It's a huge database though at this point, so it's a long job. Matt.
W00T! Database migration just finished and *seems* to have worked. Still got code changes to make to bring in the customisations I use with UKTS forums but... that's fine, the big part of the job is done.
Waow, you are the man. well done and thanks for your time and hard work, but please take your time and don't feel you need to rush just to stop the blubber heads on the wingernet.
Me looking for all these alleged "blubber heads on the wingernet"..... As far as I can see no one has whinged, blubbered or even complained, I only see posts asking if it's down for others or that it's still down for them.
hi been trying to log on to site for about 2 months but it keeps saying Invalid Credentials, Please try again ive sent for new details but have not received a reply please can you advise me what to do thanks Roy
The new forums are up and running on a test URL for a few people close to the site who are giving it a test to make sure it's all come across ok and that everything works as it should. So far it's looking good - i'm going to catch up with people this weekend and see whether there's anything else needs doing to make it live - but suffice to say this was a mammoth upgrade job on the forums so worth making sure we're ok before everyone lumps in and potential chaos ensues Patience just a moment more much appreciated!
That's a quirk of how the new version of phpbb looks - it may be that a different theme will help. I'll start exploring what themes there are
It seems there's no longer an easy way to check your own posts/replies? Or has it just been hidden away somewhere so obvious it's impossible to notice?
In the Top Left corner is Quick Links - Click on that and you can find your posts - it is sometimes slow to change Peter
Hi Peter, Only slightly, if you press it once..... I think it would be nice if they filled in the spaces either side with maybe a train theme, similar to these forums maybe?
I was going to post my latest video link but my earlier ones are not playing anymore just this message This video is hosted by YouTube, a site which is outside of the editorial control of UKTrainSim and as such Parental Control is strongly advised. To view the video, click on the PLAY button. If you click anywhere else on this video, you will be taken to a YouTube page, where you may find yourself subjected to content that you feel is offensive. If you feel THIS video is inappropriate, please report it to a moderator immediately for prompt action. Wherever I click I get the message Page Forbidden. Mike
Not my day, tried to post it on UKTS forum and got this message The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again. Mike
When you get that message immediately hit the submit button again. I don't know why it does that and it needs investigating.
Thank you for your help, I tried clicking as you said, now it has been submitted three times Lol. I suppose admin will delete it, at least it has been pointed out to them. Update, the video's are now showing in a very small window (useless) but some other posters links to Youtube are still active. Anyway they now know about it. is there a place on this forum to post video's?. Mike
I fixed it so you can post without needing approval. Matt is looking for an example of the link you are trying to post so he can investigate.
