Hi everyone,

We are working on setting up a new forum that will hopefully be more secure. My son in law to be is a real geek when it comes to this stuff and has shown Sunrise and I a sample of it. He was also able to import all of the users into and current post into the new forum. Stay tuned and one of these days this forum will be open again and replaced. As a point of interest, Sunrise as our moderator has removed over 500 spammers since starting to moderate. And Yesterday was one of the worst we had 34 spammers in one day. So that is why the board is closed. Also we are looking for about 10 users who could trial the new board out. Please send me an email to lhorton @ sheetharbour .ca and I will send you the link. My email is spaced so bots cannot get it…

On an added note, the people we are looking for are to test the posting, logins, searches etc. The new system is in a development stage right and has a snapshot of the current userbase and all posts, private messages, polls, and more from the current forum.

So far with testing noone's posts were lost, as well all members were imported with same logins and passwords. I just want to be sure that all is working in this new system before cutting over to it.

Randalllllllll have you been naughty?????

Just kidding......I went into the new forum and the whole member list is listed as banned right now but I left it for Larry or Alex to unban as I don't want to touch anything on there yet until it's all ready to go. I sent Larry an email so as soon as he reads it, he'll take care of it and you'll be good to go. I like our future home and so glad we won't lose all our posts from here.

Holy mackanoly those spammers are unbelievable!!

Thank heavens for computer geeks like yourself Alex. You're very much appreciated.

Hi Randall,

I am curious what address you tried to log on to the new forum. The new forums address is:

http://forum.Sheetharbour.ca

The site is currently locked becasue users were supposed to email and volunteer to try it....We did not want everyone trying it at once until Alex had the bugs out. I will let Alex know and then let you guys know when he has the foum ready for trail... It will probably be open on Tuesday or Wednesday for a trial.

Guess I missed that one. I will unban you right now.

Furthermore, any users wanting to join the test should post here. This way I will lift the ban as they join in the test.
