Account Reset and Technical Issues

Hey folks,

So I have been a way for a little while and I found that my account had disappeared. Was there an account reset while I was gone? If so, an email would have been nice informing me of this. And what is the deal with all that US Federal Code BS that I had to read? Was there an issue with this or is Tom proactivly covering his rear?

And there is also a technical question. Does this board work if I turn off my cookies? It appears not to. Is there some way to get around this or while i have to adjust my cookie status when I want to post?

Rev Jesse: there was a board reset - maybe even two, since you've been gone. Everyone had to reregister, and since then, there's been a whole stack

The reason there was no email, I think, was that [jesus-clouds]Tom[/jesus-clouds] was spending most of his time trying to a) find work and b) actually get this place working with a minimum of downtime. There were postings on the board about it going down, but I think the thought was to get it fixed, rather than keep people that appraised of the situation.

I'm not sure, either, but I think the Federal Code could be stock protective boilerplate to make sure Tom's not left carrying the can in legal matters. It could even be stock guff that ships with this version of the UBB; not entirely sure. It didn't seem to be that much of a problem; though there had been more talk (prior to restarting) about how liable the board owner would be if there were ever any legal action brought against the Underground, so it's probably an offshoot of that.

I don't know about the cookies query.

There were in fact two reboots necessary, and I *tried* to tell every person who signed up to the board and said that they wanted to receive e-mails what was going on - but it works on the same functionality as the rest of the board and therefore didn't work, well, very well... Sorry - nice to have you with us. You will need cookies for the board to work though - if you want more informatin, check out the technical FAQ (little text link - top right)
