Works OK on my desktop it seems. My issue is using my phone. When I try to sign in so I can post or answer a PM, the login takes me to the front page login when i click it. I did not have to login to access the forum on my desktop when I was able to access it after the upgrade, but I do on my phone...

I was not made aware the new site was rolling out yesterday. I was suppose to have receieved a demo of how the site worked etc...I am already getting messages on the classified side of whats going on that they have been banned or cannot sign on..etc.. I HAVE NO ANSWERS..From what I can tell I AM NO longer an admin or Mod..so after 11 years its all good unless PJ or someone else has something in mind for me. Otherwise have a good one guys. I have enjoyed being your MOD/ADMIN the last 11 years. Brian

I was also banned, and sent a email to RJ, someone emailed me back within ten minutes (Brian maybe? not sure) and said they were also locked out and someone was working on it. So someone is aware and is doing stuff...
Just tried my phone again, and it shows me logged in now so progress is being made, lol...
Pretty sure you will get all your super powers back Brian when they get the script bugs worked out.

The actual format was VERY workable before. The CURRENT format is LOUSY aka the ACA website. Wasn't there any testing before rollout ?
Seems that every time a website/forum ANYwhere is 'improved', it just gets WORSE ......CarDomain,BangShift,.......

Actually if you play around with the new format it has a LOT more features than the old one. Something I found today was instead of having to have a picture hosted by another website, the new forum can pull it straight off your computer! You have to go to "advanced reply" then scroll down below the part where you type to the "additional options" section. Here is a pic that I took last week at the Gatornationals and it just pulled it from my computer
Change is a good thing gentlemen, just play around with the new format for awhile, you might be impressed!

I tried it on the installed google browser, and I also have Dolphin installed. It doesn't let me log in on either one (an android phone). If I click on the log in link on the forum page, it sends me to the main page log in. I am logged in there. I have tried to log out and back in, but it only logs me in on the main page.
Sounds like you have a cookie issue happening. The settings for your phone's browser needs to have its cookies turned on. What kind of phone is it?

I have tried to log out and back in, but it only logs me in on the main page.Once you are logged in on the main page, it should log you into the forum. It has been changed so they use the same login.
So, once you login there, does it redirect you back to the forum section - and if so, are you logged in? If not. Try clearing all your cookies (should be in your browser settings), and try the process again.

Log out. Then clear your cookies on your computer, and see if you can log back in.
If that doesn't work, let us know what the screen/message you get when you try to log in and it fails.

That's the weird part. When I click log in the screen flashes like it logs me in, but nothing happens. It doesn't say wrong password or anything. It's like I never click the button.

Ok. I deleted the bookmark on my phone. I then logged back in and I am now on my phone posting so it works. Made a new bookmark. The old bookmark kept sending me to the board unavailable message that we originally got when the migration was taking place. Try going to the forum using a search engine Rabbit instead of a favorite or your browser dropdowns to see if that is the issue for you.
TheRabbit
03-28-2014, 03:03 PM
I've already done that. Truth is I didn't remember my password because it was automatic on my old log in.
I tried several times and it finally quit telling me wrong password. I thought I had locked myself out so I logged in on my phone then got on with my laptop.
I wonder if my home computer is locked out because of so many attempts to log in with the wrong password.
The important thing is I can log in with my laptop which means I can log in at work!! Lol
Don't we have a bunch of guys that haven't showed up on the new forum yet??
Who's missing??

Been using google for several years.
When I enter my password the screen flashes as if it logs me in, but I am not.
The screen is just as if I were logged in and I can see the forum and all the threads.
Nothing that's says wrong password or wrong user name.IT JUST WANT LET ME IN! Lol.

That is what was happening to me on my phone. I ended up going to a search engine and finding a link and coming through that way. Seems the issues I had logging in during the initial change was hanging my log in up through my normal saved favorites or clicking on the ones that came in the search bar...

Sorry everyone, I was out at car shows the past couple of weeks.Hey Zip ! Ya gotta make the avatar TINY for this system to 'accept' it for posting.I made some changes, it is now 200px wide, 150px tall and 40kB
Something that is missing in the 'advanced' option is the 'bold' and any and all font options. Only 'choices' are smilies.????I think that is because you are using the basic editor. If you go here:
http://www.racingjunk.com/forums/profile.php?do=editoptions
Scroll down to "Miscellaneous Options", and select "Full WYSIWYG Editor" it should give you everything.

Tried it and that didn't work. Out of curiosity I tried to log in using internet explorer and it logged in.
I hate ie because it constantly locks my computer up. That's the reason I switched to google.
I've never had any problems on other forums with google so I don't have a clue what could be wrong with this site. I'm sure mine isn't the only one having trouble.

It is the search engine taking you to the old links due to the number of clicks you have used, probably saved in a cookie somewhere. GO in through IE, and copy the header after you get on, then go through Google and see if it works, if it does, save it in your favorites and go in, pretty soon, the cookie will store the new clicks until they come to the top of the list...
(This is exactly the issue I was having on my phone, and it worked there, not sure about a desktop, lol...)

I tried it and that didn't work either. At least I can log in through IE, but it's so slow it's painful to use it! lol
