Invalid username and password? Checked my profile on the old board and username and password I used worked fine. Email in my profile is correct. Does that mean someone else has chosen to use my username, or am I persona non gratis in this new world? | ||

There are dozens of hotmail accounts that have activated and looking at who hasn't activated there appears to be no problems domain related. Aaron, your email was "aawil", is that right? Did you enter the correct email? Are you sure you didn't receive it? I just checked again, looks like your did activate. Might be the emails go in batches and there's a delay before you receive it. I'll look into it. | ||

Easy and additional functionality don't always mesh. Like the previous advice, ignore what you don't want. Most users will appreciate the additional functionality and customization. Good news is we've been on the old software for 3 years. At the time the industry was young and there were many to choose from. vB has really seperated itself as the industry leader, so I promise no more changes fo several years. That's of course if no major unfixable bugs appear, then we'll just turn the old board back on. John and Aaron, what domains are your email? AOL or what? | ||

Yes...I am getting the hang of it. SLOWLY but,SURELY! But,this old one was so much easier! Us old guys who were already out and about in the world before video games and home computers came out,just gotta sit down and deal with it!  | ||

The old board and it's 300,000 posts over the past 3 years can still be accessed and searched. However, there was no way to import them into the new software. This may be possible in the future, but the old board was html based and new board is 100% database driven (a good thing). | ||

No full name? Hmmm. I think nobody knows me by my nickname (tifosi12), but rather as Andreas. Maybe I need my ID changed? Again...Sorry Rob. This might be also true for a bunch of other folks. | ||

New board doesn't have anything for full name right now. We'll see down the road what we want to do. | ||

Thanks Rob, yes that worked. Here comes my next problem: Tried to update my profile and after hitting submit it tells me my birthdate is invalid. I didn't even enter that (no field there anyway). No biggie, just to let you know. | ||

I'll manually do it, what username do you want? Did you get an email to activate Jim? | ||

Advanced Member Username: Tifosi12 Post Number: 2727 Registered: 10-2002 |
Ok Rob. Just realized that tifosi is one of the prime users, so I shouldn't be using his ID. How do I delete myself or change my ID? | ||

It will take me weeks to get 1-2k post counts and join dates updated, but I will get to it. Try not to take other people's usernames if they're also active on FC. You can check on this boards memberlist. Did AOL users receive the activation and welcome email? Let me know if anyone doesn't receive the Activation email. Welcome email comes after you have activated. | ||

I'll leave the old board up until about 7pm CST. However, you can begin registering and posting on the new board now. I believe everything is ready, but over the next couple hours if anything critical comes up, then I can always delay the mass notification I'm going to send. Tonight all users will receive (if correct email in Db) the November newsletter along with the link to the new software. It's important I tell everyone that they do have to register their account again. I will also have the link to notify me to update your original join date and post count. There is a forum setup for questions and to report bugs, please don't use any of the other forums for this. That one forum can also be posted to without being registered and activated. http://ferrarichat.com/forum/index.php? Enjoy! The new software is a change, but I believe everyone will love the additional functionality. |
