Thanks for the update! Was finally able to log back in (you can disregard my email).

I'm on a desktop as well, FWIW. (still don't see any red dot on the hamburger menu)

@FormerlyStlJhawk haha. I love that quote. Thanks for informing me about the privileged message. I think that may help me crack the code for other people too. If you guys can give me some time to get everything tidied up and comfortable I promise I will but first and foremost I just want everyone back. The board is stable, its just a matter of getting the data straightened out now.

For those rolling with new accounts I can help get your old ones back if you want me to.

@approxinfinity I assume that is a GIF ? I've tried using some and get a message that says "can't enter this content here". It's not a big deal, but thought I'd use that feature occasionally if I could. Thank you.

@formerlystljhawk can you try your old account again? I think the issue was that some of the emails were never verified on old board and the email recovery considers non verified emails unprivileged. I forced it to be verified for you now. If that works i can find all the other accounts i know are legit and force verify them

@nuleafjhawk hmm good to know. Yeah its a gif. I had to resize it down. Ill see whether its restricted for others. You could send me the file in email and i coipd try too

@approxinfinity
Thank you so much for this @approxinfinity Making this an increasingly enjoyable experience. Doing the Lord’s work!

approxinfinity

@creasybear ha! Trying! Bumpy roads lead to beautiful places, as they say!

Alright, I poked around and tried to respond to everyone trying to recover their original accounts that got stuck. Please continue to email me if you guys have problems. I know there are coupe people (crimson, kjayhawks, slimshady) that are using new accounts that I havent addressed. That's because y'all are being chill about it, but I haven't forgotten. I can circle back and get you straight when the dust settles if thats ok. thanks guys.

Update.. I'm currently going through all the regulars that have logged in in the last couple months and force validating their emails if they have an email account. This should now allow them to password reset with their emails. Here is a list of the people I couldnt because of some duplicate emails. I'll ahve to sort these out individually...

Mohawk, kjayhawks ,Zabudda, Bosthawk, kuballin10, dylans, JAYHAWKFAN214, Woodrow, rockchalkwyo, dmurban, jayballer67,  Crimsonorblue22, curmudgeonhawk

You all havent been forgotten! I will go through all of these as soon as I have time, probably tonight.

For all other regulars who havent beena ble to password reset, please try agian, and hopefully it will now work.

Also, alternatives remain... message me on the old board at archive.kubuckets.com assuming you can log in there, or email me, and that gives me confidence its you, and i will hard reset your password and send that to you.

Seems to be working fine for me on a Mac desktop (using Safari which did not work before)

@DanR love it!

One more note, if you are reading this and you got a validation email, it was me that kicked it off. I had to (sorry, it wouldnt let me force validate, ie tell the system “theyre already valid” unless i did) in order to then force validate you. This should now allow you to password reset your account through the site.

approxinfinity

Everyone not named @rockchalkintexas-0 or @rockchalkintexas, i did some more data normalization yesterday and hoping you can now log in (try that first) or recover (try that second) your original accounts

@approxinfinity I do miss the "unread" part of the old site. Guessing that is now just no longer a feature.

approxinfinity

You mean https://kubuckets.com/unread @bshark ?

tundrahok

@approxinfinity Yes, that's it! There used to be a button to get there, on the left side of the top menu bar. I haven't seen it on the new version.
It's just a little thing, but I found it convenient.
