I have to enter an activation key.
It didnt send me an activation key.
It also didnt resend an activation key.

You probably already did this, but can you check your spam box & make sure that you entered your email correctly?

eta - nevermind, I see your update

Okay, it looks like the invalid session key was a known issue that they thought they fixed, but apparently not!

Anything we should do, or just sit tight?

Attempting to re-register still doesn't work for me, it tells me that my username is unavailable.

Oh good, we can change that scary avatar. ::shudder::

I am having trouble finding posts later than January 3rd. Does anyone know how to update the threads?

[secretlyevil]

Done and done!

That is just a copy of our board, so there aren't any posts that are newer than the day I created it. Once we upgrade for real all of the posts will be there, but that version is just a test board so it doesn't update.

Got it, thank you.

We're in 5th place now.

[heightsyankee]

OK- so once we completed that process and have our new log in and password there, we just keep coming back here? I know, stupidest question ever.

Yep, just come back here. Or you can play around over there, but nothing on that site will be saved. Next week we will upgrade this URL & you'll have to log in here with your email acct that you just created.

Just hang tight for a bit, I have emailed their support staff to see what's up.

[smock]

Second place, what what!

[fryjack2]

I can never find this board if I search proboards. I have it bookmarked. Other than entering a contest, do I have to do anything in order to keep posting here after the URL upgrade? Or is it an optional thing? Sorry, I am the least tech savvy person ever.

You will have to upgrade your account to the new global login system. If you don't do it now, you'll be prompted to do so when the forum upgrades next week. After that, you will login with your email and password instead of username and password. Your bookmark will still work.

Eta: the freemessageboards link is just for testing purposes. Our URL will still be the same, no need to change your bookmarks.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

Is liking this on FB going to somehow lead my FB friends to find this board? If so, sorry, but no.

[glynn2009]

I did it.

[shortcake2675]

It says my username is not found and when I try to reregister, it tells me it is unavailable.

[shadow]

I got in no problem, but I'm not seeing how the board is sorted? What am i missing?

You're using the same username + password that you use here, right? What error message are you getting?
