Over 50s Forum Plans for 2021! (Please read - contains important information)
Hi Everyone!
As some of you may have noticed in
this thread, we are planning to upgrade the forum this year. This is because the forum software we are using at the moment is very old and it is causing issues for many of you.
The new platform we will move to is much more modern... and I think you will like it! You'll be able to do things like simply post a link to a video or tweet (and sometimes even news stories) and it will automatically embed the details into the post and you'll also be able to use the forum on your mobiles and iPads much better. You'll even be able to reply to things by email!
However we'll go into the details another time, this is just a quick note to let you know I hope to start on this in the next few months,
and for now, the only thing you need to do is make sure that the email address you have in your profile is current and that you have access to it - this is because when we move to the new platform your old password won't be copied over (as it is encrypted) and so you will need to use the 'reset password by email' option to get sent a password reset link via email. For now don't worry about the details as we'll post clearer instructions closer the time, just make sure the email address in your profile is valid and that you have access to it.
- You can check your email address
here.
If you no longer have access to your email but do know your password, simply enter your password where it says "Enter your present password to continue:" and then enter your new email address in both 'Edit Email Address' fields ("New Email Address" and "Confirm New Email Address") then click on "Save Changes".
If you need to add a new email address but do not know your password, please
PM me or if you don't have PM's yet, you can simply start a thread in the
Contact Staff section.
Ok, that's all for now - I hope you're all keeping well and the start of the year has been a little kinder to you than last year!
