About a week ago the above site was given an upgrade.

I still can't connect to the new site and I don't have any contact addresses to ask a question on.

 

Anybody know if it is up and running again or is it still being done.  it was supposed to take a few days but a week has gone by and all I get when logging in is errors.

Hello Barnaby,

 

We currently have been running updates on our facebook page and also via our News Letter, the Footbridge. The migration of the forum is bigger than what was first anticipated. Hopefully we will be up and running soon as I have been asked today, to log in (as a Mod) to see if the passwords have been carried through correctly. Once the Admin/Mods team can access the site without any hiccups, we will then open it to our members. I apologise for any inconvenience caused, but we are taking these steps (although slow) to future proof the forum.

 

Regards,

Gary.

Thanks Gary I can now connect to the forum but not LOG IN.

It says PASSWORD ERROR and won't let me try FORGOT PASSWORD option.

 

I'll leave it a little longer as it is probably still under updating.

 

Also part of the same thing is I can't post anywhere as I have to be signed in which is a classic catch 22.

 

the Forum is looking good so far so I  need to be a little more patient to get full access.

 

 

Best

Not for me it isn't - same problem as your earlier post. I get the password reset email but when I use it fails with "Please enter a value for the required field 'user_group_id'."

Anyone got any news on this? I can't login as it says my password is invalid.  If I select "forgot my password" it sends me an email to set a new one, but when I do this it says my username is unknown. I've tried selecting the "contact us" button  but all that does is refresh the front page. 

 

But I can see without being able to login that other users are doing so successfully.

Yes that was exactly how mine was Robert then it let me send an email to get a new password and all was well.

 

They have posted that some people are having issues logging in and are working on it but it might take some time to get through them all.

 

I'll post RFS is having log on issues on their forums to see if that helps..

FOUND THIS FROM AN ADMIN >>>   Hi,

if anyone has forgotten their passwords or is generally having an issue logging on to the new site, please get in touch via email via .... admin@platform1mrc.com and we shall issue you with a temporary password.

Please be patient as we could have a few to get round to.

cheers

Good to read that you have successfully been granted access Barnaby. I myself was in the same boat until moments before I had posted this. Migrating forums is a big ask, especially if you wish to retain all the members posts from the previous years, as what we have done. Other forums that have migrated have actually shut down or closed off the existing content. This is what we did not want to do.

 

If anyone else is having trouble signing in, please bear with us. I know it may be frustrating for some (including myself) but it will be all worth while.

 

Cheers, Gary.

Thank you Griff. Looking forward to you joining us at Platform1MRC. ;)

 

We are still sorting a few teething troubles, something that migrating a forum to a new host throws up. We are currently working on sorting any issues that our members bring to our attention.

 

Cheers, Gary.

I had to have the hard drive on my computer reformatted recently due to a fault in one sector.  I didn't lose any data, emails, documents or images, but I did lose all of my saved passwords.  In the case of the one I used for Platform 1, it was one of those computer generated ones which, of course, I can't remember.  I have tried the reset password option but, although it says I am being sent an email, I never receive one and I have tried several times, most recently half an hour ago (yes, I have been checking in my junk mail folder).  Clicking on the "Contact Us" link doesn't achieve anything useful either - it only brings up the forum's home page.

 

I have sent an email so hopefully one of the admin team can fix this up.

And that got a quick response - thanks to the timely intervention of Toto, everything is back to normal now.
