Website and Forums Progress Report

Sucuri says we are blacklisted by McAfee but no other they check https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/ww ... rtists.com

McAfee site not helpful http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/united3dartists.com

May or may not be related but when we are on InterServer we can get a free SSL. That will make logins more secure.

Themes: I'm not picky. Whatever y'all do is fine with me. Do you plan to update the forum software before or after the move to InterServer? I recommend after.

Meh, I can wait.

I use the dark theme. Love it. No problems here. Good work! !!

This specific custom dark theme will be disappearing, so you might want to check out the other themes. The twighlight theme was last updated for version 3.0.9 in 2012. We will be upgrading to version 3.2 after the move.

Upgrade progress so far.

Transferred forums to a new host.
Did one update of the forums, 2 more to go to be up to date.
Deactivated all extra themes, only use default during the upgrade process. Vote for future themes here viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5300
Fixed(I hope) the logout problems.
Fixed active topics
Removed size limits on images
Increased attachment count to 25, previously was 3.

Plan:
upgrade 2 more times to the latest forum software
add more themes based on votes
consolidate inactive sections and move the more active sections to the top of the forums

Thanks Clintonman for this new forum, really better with this nice theme.

Got an email from someone trying to register for the forums. The result is...

Fixed the email notifications which got broken with the move.
Simplified the captcha so it's easier to read, because I hate extremely difficult to read captcha images.
The number of registration attempts was set below the default value of 5.
Made the security question more obvious.
Tested it and it works now.

I will revisit registration after we are on the latest phpbb version.

Still had some cookie problems. Solved by changing the name of the forum cookie which forces the new cookie to be used, solving the login/logout problem.

Oh awesome. Now it's working fine. Had the login issue too.

Now looking forward to the new theme.. I hope something modern and dark grey like the Cube theme gets placed in!
