Every time I try to log into the forum, I have to enter my user name and password at least 3 and sometime 4 times before it is accepted. I am always careful to enter the info correctly. Any suggestions?

I wish I could help, but I don't know this software and I believe there may be database problems. I have had to log in multiple times as well. I just stay logged in to get around the problem.Quote:

It takes me 3 or 4 time to get logged in now. May have to give this site up. Frustrating.
I belong to the Alberta Outdoorsman forum also. It has the same issue, so don,t think it is this just this site. Maybe lots of hunting sites are targeted.
Can You try to stay logged on 24/7..........once you are in,you are good for a long while.Quote:

I shut my computer totally down each night.
What I do:
Put 2-3 letters ( any letters) in the first ( member name) box.
Click "sign in"
That will shoot you to the bottom option where you can easily sign in once.
I tried that as well. Same issue
Seems my wife's account was simple deleted about a year ago. She at first could not post pictures anymore, and then the account was gone.
Great site....not anymore.
I see nothing wrong with your wifes "Puppymom" account.Quote:

Last post was June 6th, 2024.
With only 23 total posts, she was restricted from the selling forums, as the rules state, you need 50 quality posts to use those forms.
Because she was logged in yesterday, I have to assume she remembers her password.
Her account is live and well and never was deleted.
She has username and password saved, but it was not letting her on. Said invalid username or password. She was not trying to post in the sell section( last time she was on), says she tried to post pics of the Conservation areas her and my niece were at.Quote:

I think it's time to shut the website down until "someone" who is qualified can fix this mickey mouse disaster.

Oh forgot to mention, I'm not picking on the MOD squad, they're doing as best a job as can be wished for.
Think its time to ask all members for a $10.00 donation to pay for a system upgrade. Lets see who is going to be the first to put their money where their mouth is and actually has a desire to fix things around here
Well set up some sort of payment system, I'll cough up $10 as long as I can deliver without having to log in 3 times, lol.
I am in...........as long as it is organized properly.Quote:

The visitors don't pay to use and they have access to loads of information.
I have offered in the past to help fix it for free but was turned down in the past.
My back ground is 25 years of computer programming and databases.
Although I am not familiar with this platform, but these day's I'm just to busy.
My understanding from past chats with Caltek is the platform is too old and too many updates were missed over the years. The latest update cannot be applied without loosing all messages and member base.Quote:

If so-i am kind of baffled:
-why we have so many issues then(the smoother we run,the more the traffic-the more advertisement possibilities')If this is a "business of sort",why issue fixing is not incorporated -to keep the business running?
-why the liveliness of the Forum was so many times "put on our shoulders "( this is Your forum -the members Forum, You make out from it whatever you-The membership do)Why the Forum is not run on the premise of a "business"model then?
-why the traffic and membership is not Hyped up-and make it as more opportunity for traffic = weight of the Forum increases.This would make perfect sense.
I wish I had answers for you GBK. I'm just guessing that the large membership is a selling feature for magazine advertising.
How much advertisement do you see on this forum?Quote:

My take on it is its not a business run venture.
So if its not for profit than ya a free meeting place so take it for what it is complaining won't make it better.
One of the times she was trying to sign on, she got the "Data Base" error page. I am thinking that may have been the "Successful" login.Quote:

Signing in is working fine for me to day March 3.
I've had problems accessing the forum for the last couple days. I would only get a blank page. Not sure if anyone has also had this happen. It's frustrating at times. Reloading the page multiple times over the course of the day, sucked. But hey, it works today so, yay!
I'm all for a new platform/software, whatever it takes to make the forum run smoother. Not that anyone asked. I'm just saying.
Well I see a couple of the Admin team on today think they are working on the issues seems to be running well however I don't know if its a permanent fixQuote:

Spoke too soon. Just got a database error and had to reload. Now I'm the only member online.
Today , as the last 2 or 3 days, I try at 4:00 a.m. and get a blank page. Try a number of times during the day and finally sometimes after 3:00 p.m., I get on. Seems to work for the rest of the day but in slow motion. Click on something and sit back for 30 seconds and it then makes the change. Not my system as I do not have an issue any where else. It is strange to say the least - seems to be a bunch of issues involved.

Our forum is broke my friend. I do believe Admin are working to correct the problems.Quote:

Just giving a bit of context here to the on-going issues.
We're having resourcing issues with our host. The forum stability is related to this, and we're working hard to improve it.
I will pop in here to give periodic updates regarding the progress. But I am thankful for the input of the members in this thread. It is great to see such a strong user base, who is passionate about the forum and OOD.
Thank you
Sad to say but I think it would be best to shut this site down until the problems have been totally resolved.
Once its working send out a general email
Can’t read this forum and many others as well on Computer browser. Have to use this stinking Tapatoc on phone.
here’s what I see on computer

Exactly! I get that on most threads using Chrome browser on PC.

So anyone else see the irony that the only thing working is the Questions, Problems, and Troubleshooting forum?
Only working for me on Tapatoc. Still garbled garbage on Chrome browser PC

Member Sharon is having the same issue and asked mr to pass her concern on to Admin.
Thanks Troutslayer. All good today.
Yes, Admin must have fixed it. Very smooth and without issues at this time.Quote:

Well it looks like someone is working this Sunday. I was denied access from 04:30 until now. Who did the reboot? :)
I’m always working ;)
Appreciate your work Niteowl.
Right on pal!Quote:
