I would like to use it but I can't get in. My nick name monica.lian is not recognized and neither is my pass word. A tutorial on how to get in would be nice.
luv
Monica
Got a message from two of my friends that their usernames are gone and they get an error they don't exist. Is that part of the reset?
Thanks to all of you who keep this place together!
How do you work the new chat?

if they joined after march 1 they have to apply to join again. All IDs from after march 1 2017 are gone.

Unable to log into the chat,
I get two different errors

2) Error Connecting (Closing link: (6bcb5a31@62.129.135.52) [Registration timeout])
3) Channel Key? What is that I see #fcf
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
Thanks, LiLMs.

Could it be that it doesn't like nicknames with a dot? I get the same problem as Monica and she has a dot in her nick.

We can see an attempt to log in denied. Can you check the paw your logging in with? The system is also case sensitive so you should type the pw exactly as you see it
I'd like to add my thanks to the admins and moderators on a good job recovering data and upgrading software. I'm anxious to discover all the little features of the new environment.
Cheers.
Also all the newly underscored nicknames, maybe try logging off FCF then logging back before you try chat. Just in case the systems don't speak to each other if you are logged into one and make changes.

Change your member name to replace the space with an underscore. The chat login doesn't like spaces.
It looks nice. thank you. ^_^

When we upgraded the forum software we had to roll the data base back to march 1, 2017 so everything before then is here but anything you added after that date is lost. We had been warning people of that and to prepare for it for weeks before the switch over
Can't tell you how excited I am by the changes. I, too, have the same problem (not) getting into the new chat. Any suggestions? I've tried using an underscore and a dash in place of the dot in my handle, with and without my pw, logging out and logging back in to fcf, nothing seems to work.
You should be able to get in with just your name and PW

I see his problem. Your user name is still Elan.Mixedpro The chat doesn't like periods. So..the thing is when you change that it resets your password. We can change it for you and also make the password something you can get easily. let me know.

How do I change my name without spaces?
I can do it for you but it will reset your password so email me at bigdevil830@gmail.com with a password
how many profile pictures can anyone add? on the old forum I had 3 pages..
while trying to revamp my new profile...it will not accept more than 12
I'll look in the admin settings and see if that can be changed
I seem to be unable to make buddy requests - just gives me an error message and says to try again
We are aware of that problem and have let the tech person know.
Hi Guy....one question, why the polls started from march 2017?

The whole site had to be rolled back to a March backup to fix the database.
It wont let you in with spaces in your ID if you change your name it will reset your password. which I can help you with.
Quote from: karren stone on May 13, 2017, 08:54:22 AM
might be a good chatroom but alas I'm not to know. It dosent letme in any more so have fun bye
Or you could read the rest of the thread or ask for help.
Have email notifications when someone sends you a message or posts to your profile stopped? I know my email address is correct.
How do you look at other people's profile in the chat room?
How do you reply to a message or send a message in chat? There is a "send message" block but no "send" to click.
A step by step instruction on how to use the "new" chat would be helpful. Thanks.
Incomplete profile being displayed of all the other members except your own.
The 'About Me' and all the other section disappear after a while, leaving just half of the profile to be seen.
I can't get in either and my user name has no spaces, dots, or anything
I've tried that password update mentionned here a page or two back, still no go :(
One word FANCY.
To FEMMEFIGHT John and all of the moderators,
Thank you all for all of your incredibly hard work, your care, your patience and your dedication in running and maintaining this site for all of us. It's a shame that it takes a bad situation for members to recognize just how difficult running a site like this is and to try to grasp just how much you all do for us. You are all rock stars!!! Thank you again!!!
Leslie xoxo
How do you get your old login code so you can update it. please message me?
Congrats to the forum staff for getting us back up and running. Love the new look. The new chat is a bit of a learning curve, but we'll figure it out :)
Scrib
First of all, thanks to all the administrators and tech people for all the hard work over the last few weeks. I know it has to be very frustrating. This isn't a complaint and I can wait until some of the more urgent things have been resolved but like others have posted, I'm having trouble accessing the chat room because I had a space in my user name. I have changed that and reset my password but still am unable to get to the chat room. After changing my username, it now shows up without a space but I still have to use a space when logging onto the site so not sure what I did really worked. It appears that my "name" has been changed to no space but my true Username still has the space. This is the error I am getting now:
Error Connecting (Closing link: (a2f450ea@62.129.135.52) [Access denied])
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated but no rush. I'll be patient and wait my turn.
Thanks again!

For some reason, everyone else's posts seem to show up with a 'Like' button but my own don't. Is there something I'm not doing, or doing wrong, when I post?
Scrib
Probably to keep us from liking our own comments/posts.
Juggles, you're absolutely right. I figured that out from talking to a couple other members.
Thank you for the new forum :) i've noticed i'm now able to put up main profile pictures which wouldn't go up before the change so that is cool.
My favorite thing so far though has got to be this weird eyed emoji lol :o :o :o
Quote from: JugglesTheClown on May 13, 2017, 07:31:42 PM
I don't seem to be able to find anything that shows someone's posts on their profile. The old ones made it easy to go back and look at what someone had written, which is something I used extensively when an author I wasn't familiar with wrote a story I liked. Is there another way to get to that information or is it something that's going to be added back in over time?
It should be under the "profile info " tab at the top of someone's page (beside the actions tab) You get an option to Show Posts, including just showing topics they started which is likely more useful for that story hunting.
First back since the revamp here, any idea why my messages from March and on are just gone? I have messages from recently that I can't read yet I got notification in email about them.

The site was reset back to the March 1 database so those messages are gone from the site now.
Profile links in chat should work now.
See here for info on chat log in and what you may have to do to your user name to get into chat https://www.freecatfights.com/forums/index.php?topic=63968.msg478674#msg478674
Alo we are working on the chat list so please don't do a dozen requests for it. Do try to check any posts the mods/admisn have made so you aren't asking something that was solved already.

Your USER name still is Megan Wrestles. That needs to be changed. Your display name can be anything but for chat the user name having no spaces or periods is crucial. The user name is what one uses to log into FCF as well. And your password will be reset when you do change it.
Mr and Mrs
Rahrah Sarah
and everyone else with spaces and periods in their names. What you need to change to access chat is the USER name. Under account settings, you need to click the word Change and will warn you it will reset your password. Your display name the one below can be anything.
In the capture below my user name and login name for fcf and the chat is nutmeg78. My forum display name is nutmeg. Not sure hiw much clearer we can make this.
Thanks Meg. I really appreciate your patience and help. I've tried to read all the posts here as well as research the help area and I am probably missing something but it doesn't appear that a regular member can change their actual user name. When I go to the Account Settings, the name is changeable but the User Name does not appear to be editable by a regular (non-admin) member. Also from the Help information, this is what I found related to this:
Modify Profile
Account Settings
Members may modify basic account settings by default. These settings control the member's access to their account, as well as when and how they are visible to other members browsing the forum. The following options are available to be modified:
Name - While the username cannot usually be changed, a member may change their display name at any time. Other members browsing the forum will see display names instead of usernames in most places.
I am probably missing something but for the life of me I can't figure out how I can change the actual Username.

Ah they sure made the admins tuff look like members could.. ok then those who wish to be changed can let myself know and we shall do so. Please line up in an orderly fashion.
LOL.....Thanks Meg. I'm not sure how you would prefer us to send you the info but if you could change mine to MeganWrestles or meganwrestles if the case might cause a problem that would be great. No rush. Whenever you get around to it is fine. If you want this info sent to you as a message just let me know. My email is correct for the password reset information.

Yeah so the thread doesn't clog into that future people can send me info via pm (please include the userID you prefer )
YEA!!!!!!!!! That worked. I can get into chat now and the ability to view profiles is working as promised also! Great work! Thanks Meg and the other admins and techies!
Thanks to the admins and code talkers/walkers that made a new site. Hard work is appreciated, many thanks.

I love the new site and chat, thanks for helping me getting in on that.
I do however have a problem and a suggestion regarding buddies. The problem is that I have noticed a few buddies of mine being online without it being highlighted in the Users Online section. Not a big problem, just wondering what's up with that.
The suggestion is to add tick-able boxes to the Buddy's list. It's a pain to edit my buddies because the list has grown so long, it would be great to have the option to select a bunch and remove them all at once, like you can do with messages.

Previous versions of the site allowed people to hide their online status. Now one can't choose to do so but turning that option off didn't do a hard "force those members to show up " change. We could go and change those members to show as we found them but it would not be a fast process.
hi all
how can see the last posts of by buddies.in previous version there was a place from where i could see someone's last posts.is it possible now?
can someone reply me from moders?
It was answered one page ago but why expect anyone to put any effort into this right?
It should be under the "profile info " tab at the top of someone's page (beside the actions tab) called "Show posts"
Good evening everyone.
I can't my nickname in chat. I've tried several times to change it from Coel to Haggis (the character I've been playing for the last decade) with no results. If it makes things simpler, maybe change my username to Haggis or NewWoolOrder?
Thank you.
As long as your user name is one word with no spaces in it you shouldnt have any problem getting in chat. Are you clicking on where is says "I have a password" and then putting your password in?
Also you can't change your nick in chat at will. If you want an admin to change your username to something else we can do that. Your username equals your chat nickname.

I had changed the username to haggis already. So he should be set.
