I signed up at the new forum yesterday but now I try to go there today and I get redirected back to the old url.
Why is that? I wonder. |

We were conducting a test of the new site, but we encountered the same issues with file downloads as before. Until we get the problems resolved, this site will be the site for main use. We will periodically enable the new site and new URL as we test, so stay tuned to the home page here for announcements and status. |

Re: this topic, and the new site in general, this may be only a coincidence, but I just received an "I forgot my password" notice from the address of the new (now temporarily defunct) site, admin at fsilanguagecourses.com, no hyphens. It gave me a password that was not the one I used to participate in the test a few days ago. I sent an e-mail about this issue, but as I did not have gdfellows e-mail address to hand, I guessed at it. Maybe I'm just overly suspicious.
TBZ
By the way, I forgot to mention that I didn't ask for a password reminder. And after I opened the e-mail message, a request from my Symantec firewall/anti-virus software asking me to make a decision on firewall rules popped up.
Just coincidence??
I dunno. If anybody else has a similar encounter with a message like this, I think it should be reported so that something can be done. Edited by TheBigZaboon - 15 November 2006 at 7:50pm |

Sorry for the confusion. Here is the text of the message I posted at the new site:
Due to an extremely stupid error on my part, the password database was corrupted. To correct the problem, I had to reset all of the passwords.
So, if you have previously created an account, it is still here, but your password has been reset. When I reset your password, you should have received an email with your new login information. You can login with the reset password, then change it back to what you had once you get logged in successfully. If you did not yet receive an email with your reset password, you will need to go to the login screen and click on "Forgot password". You should get a message telling you that your password has been sent to your email address. Also, I did not realize that the new web site software generated an automatic email to you on a password reset. The email text would lead you to believe that you requested the password reminder. Since you did not request this email, it might seem to be a phishing email. I apologize for this mess. |
