Already tried that and it still doesn't work. Not sure what the heck is going on?
 
Can't figure out how to "create an album" I see, it says you have no albums, but no control to add one? Is this limited to mods? Or some pilot error on my part?

FOUND IT. Nevermind this. I see how it's done now!

What browser are you using? Is it up to date? Did you try a different one?
 
I upgraded to a paid membership towards the end of last week. I don't have access to the visitors messages or the conversation I had going and I don't seem to be able to PM. I tried to search for a similar issue but I didn't see anything. I found something about upgrading your user group, but the links went nowhere and I couldn't find anywhere to do it.

Thank you for your help,
Patrick
 
Also having issue with not being able to start a thread in the makers section, the For Sale: Gadgets & Gear, says :

There's been a SERIOUS SECURITY ISSUE with you site since even before this migration. I noticed this started happening last month. Basically your member login function is INSECURE! When you try to login/signup to the forum, you will enter username & password and the browser will make a HTTP POST request to this URL which will authenticate user: http://www.bladeforums.com/index.php?login/login

In any website that request user to submit their username & PW, the connection need to be secure, i.e. using SSL/TLS via HTTPS so that those sensitive personal information such as password, credit card number, contact info, address etc. are encrypted so that no "man in the middle" can sniff those info. As this moment, all previously mentioned personal info by your users are unencrypted and can be stolen by any party that's sniffing traffic to your site, i.e. ISP, hosting provider, or some real malicious party trying to steal private info.

In short, all your users who logged in to this forums recently are f**ked, including myself, as im taking a risk by logging in and telling you this, because i really love this forums and would like to participate more, when it's more secure.

HOW TO FIX? (show your network/hosting/web admin this and they should know what to do, if not, fire them)
- Ensure that you use a secure SSL/TLS certificate, protocol(TLS 1.2) and Ciphers(anything >128bits)
- Ensure all connections(or at least logged in users/account management section) is done under HTTPS, NOT HTTP. I.e. All sensitive info should transmit over port 443(HTTPS) instead of port 80(HTTP) that you are currently using

For anyone who's reading this, please change your password ASAP if you reuse the same password for any of your other accounts like bank, shopping site etc. as your info may have been compromised.

It has been doing that on about all the forums I am a member of.
 
Where is the Exchange, cannot even find it? Also what happened to all my subscriptions that I follow, cannot find them either? I am totally lost here. Why the change? I was happy with the old set up.
 
Knifemaker's for sale areas should be fixed.

The exchange is right above the archived stuff on the homepage. Your subs are now called "watched threads" from what I can tell.

The EX is up on the Home page (scroll down) and look for watched threads(?) in the light blue bar at the top when you click on your name in the upper right.
It do suck figuring this shit out all over again.
