Please post any transition issues you may be having with the site here. These would be issues that you may have noticed or experienced over approximately the past 3+ days. We will investigate...and get them resolved as quickly as possible.:)

Thank you,

"My Posts" link upper left on Forum window is not working as it did before. Does not show any of my posts.

Thanks for posting that. It was not working for me earlier as well but seems to be working now. In my case all I had to do was wait about 20 minutes and try again the feature was working fine then. It does behave a bit dfferently than before in the sense that once a link is clicked it and read it shows in a lighter red.

Which browser are you using? For some reason FireFox and Chrome users seem to be having fewer issues than Safari users though I am getting in OK using Safari.

I noticed yesterday, and today, that when I view "New Posts", which is all I use, the read posts don't disappear, unless, I spend a couple of minutes, reading through a thread. For example, if I click on a thread, with one or two replies, and I have nothing to add/suggest, then go back to "New Posts", that thread still appears in the list, only not bolded. If I click on a thread, and add a reply, or have a few replies to read through, then it will catch up, and the read threads will disappear.

That's a good observation Bob. Now that you have described it that way I think that is what is happening to me as well.

Nope, not working with Firefox, Chrome and Safari. I keep getting the "Advance Search" page when clicking on My Posts link.

I also just noticed, when I log in, and immediately select "New Posts" I get logged out. So, I have to log in again. . However, if I log in and spend some time on the Home page, then select "New Posts", it populates properly.

Edit: Also just noticed if I click on "New Posts" I am being logged out. It seems I have to select "Home/Forum" first.

I also just attempted to give some kudos and received this error message;

There seems to be a lot of time outs. I had to log out, in order to add the image to this reply.

On the left of a post, underneath the members avatar, I'm sure it used to list your devices, OS etc but they are no longer showing. Using Safari & High Sierra latest version.

Good catch, I didn't notice that.

This seems to apply to almost everyone.

I went into my Settings and re-entered my iMac's specs, clicked on Save Changes - and the iMac's specs still don't show.

I hadn't noticed that but they aren't there for me either. They are in my profile just not showing in the post. Doesn't appear to be a Safari issue since they aren't showing in Opera either.

On the plus side I no longer have to feel guilty about procrastinating on updating my info. ;)

Mine (which isn’t showing either) still lists my iPhone 3g, long since gone and replaced twice. Current is iPhone 7plus

Me either. I updated recently because mine was outdated as well (especially macOS version).

Seems every time I have things updated something breaks and needs to be replaced. Maybe that's how to convince the SWMBO that I need an iPhone X or iPad Pro.

Or even finally getting around to adding any... ;D

Do this forum's Admins or Moderators have direct access to make any changes or modifications or are they done through the site's owner tech(s)??

Just curious as to who gets to do all the work. ;D

For those having issues with Safari, I am on the latest Mac OS here with Safari and no issues so far.

Same here Dennis, at least for today. The last couple of days it has been sporadic on and off not being able to find the server. I believe it's related to a DNS resolution issue with Safari.

I won't really comment as things seem to be working at my end but I've been fighting trying to getting my Safari 9.1.3 working properly with some other sites and modding my DNS settings.

I have finally given up with the Safari oddities, yet this site worked fine, and mainly using Firefox now, and all sites seem to be working well.
No "fixes" to Safari worked and it's just too old I guess. Odd that the SL version 5.1.10 worked better for most sites when I did a test, as did my El Capitain and later versions.

I don't know if anyone else experienced the site going down, but at around 6:00PM my time I could not reach our forums with Safari or Chrome. At first it appeared my connection was acting up but I was able to connect to other sites OK. Anyway, looks like we are back up again.

I was on it about an hour ago and didn’t see any problems. At least I think so . . . memory is getting suspect. Got on after dinner, then got off to help my wife with cleanup.
Believe that was around 7:00 pm
