Weekend Login Difficulties

[Dave]

Over the weekend a number of SBO members experienced difficulties accessing the forums. There were 2 separate causes and one common reason.

The first issue blocked visitors from viewing the forums, visitors include SBO members who were not logged in. This started on Friday afternoon and when I first learned of the problem on Sunday morning, it was quickly corrected.

The second issue which began Sunday afternoon caused some SBO members to be unable to login. While I was made aware of the difficulties on Monday morning, the information I initially received was vague and I was unable to replicate the problem. My predecessor, @Phil Herring stepped in an was able to diagnose and correct the problem.

As much as I would like to place the blame for the problems on ATT and its issues last week, I can't. Both problems were the result of small errors I made while doing some maintenance on the member database.

I apologize for the inconvenience and frustration some of you experienced over the weekend. Be certain there was no hacking of the site and the information in the member database remained secure, it was just 2 simple mistakes I made. Thank you Phil for your quick and effective response.

Thanks for fixing it. We all needed to go outside and play anyway. No self-flagulation, okay?

I was one who reported not being able to access the forums on Sunday.

it was hard to communicate since the site was down (or at blocked from me). I found a way to submit some form of “Ticket” that seemed to go through…

So thanks for working it out… I am back on-line

Funny thing for me was i had just made a post jokingly suggesting I needed to stop or potentially get banned.

Glad it's all back now. Thanks for all the hard work.

I was thinking. "What did I do to get myself banned, I'm a good boy?"
Thanks for the effort.

I thought it was me !!!
I was moving my router to a better location, adjusting settings, changing names of the log in, adding guest links, passwords and stuff trying to a better WIFI signal. Then tried to log in to SBO and nothing….then the panic hit…..what did I do!
I got to stop going where no man has gone before and stick to sailing.
Thanks for fixing it Dave, but……………..I’m glad it was you and not me!

That was my first thought as well. I contacted another SBO member who "knows people" and asked if I had "stepped in it" and landed in FBO jail.
My wife was concerned because I was showing all of the classic symptoms of withdrawal.

I think the electronic gremlins just wanted to have a little mid-winter fun.

Thanks Dave --appreciate the effort and the heads-up.

In case you missed the SBO site was down for awhile yesterday. Those electronic gremlins struck again. All is well now.

Saw that. Tks for staying on top of it.

 

[sailcapt340]

I thought it was me !! Again!

I wasn’t playing with any electronic stuff yesterday so I knew I was clear.
But truth be known, I did get blindsided by the new parking meters (or lack of them) yesterday in Newport. Now it’s some kind of new fangled App related thing. Which I did not have on my phone (where is that thing anyway). And there I am standing in front of my car with a fist full of quarters and no place to put them.
Got the App now!
Any other new things out there thats waiting to grab me?

Today, Apple announced the new generation which will be heavily involving AI. (just in case your radiomobile on your 62 Ford Falcon wasn't working!)

Memories……I had one of those! My cousin and I would buy cars, fix them up and sell. All through high schooI. If I remember correctly, we paid $150.00 for it. Black with black and white interior. But it didn’t have that model radio.
We had the Radio Shack Spark O Matic. Only AM. AM FM was to rich for our blood.
Thanks for the memories.
