There are a bunch of thing I need to work through, but the most important thing is that one.

Resetting your password does not work yet (did it ever?). I hope to have that working sometime this evening.

If you can login you are free to use the forum. After I get the password reset working I'm begin making some esthetic changes.

Fun facts:

• We have been using this software since Sunday, September 13, 2009!

• The last time I upgraded to a new server was in 2019 and the forum was down for 10 days (at least)!

The new look is fantastic.

@Troy ...thanks again for everything you do & the sweat equity you pour into the site.😎

Thanks, man. This whole website upgrade has been a challenge, but things will be much better overall.

Should I Feature first post?

Basically featuring the first post by showing it at the top of every page in the topic? Sometimes on multipage conversation who forget the what the original point of the conversation was supposed to be. Maybe this will keep conversation on track -- maybe it does not matter.

I don't believe it will matter in keeping conversation on track.😁😎

I was able to successfully reset my password, so the site's basic functionality has been restored 😊

I don't know how I'm able to post here, having not done the required procedure, but I'm not complaining.😛

Our login credentials work fine for the AALBC forum.

I've noticed the other part of AALBC wanted me to sign-up (my regular login didn't work).😎

OK I'm glad the regular logins work-- maybe that is for new accounts. I'll update my post.

@ProfD There are some features of the main part of AALBC that require a login like following an author or adding a book to you bookshelf. My goal was to have a single login but to get over that tech hurdle is not something I'm not keen or starting right now.

Gotcha. No worries. I'm perfectly fine as long as my login works here.👍🏿😎

Yes I just hit the link. No login required

Thank you, I appreciate your labour of love.
