Anyone know what's occurring.
I can't logout to try to log back in?
Has the update gone ok?

Never use my login, just tried it and everything is locked and read only.

There's a sticky that says it will open on Monday, and you'll need to change your password.

Apologies if you knew all this, I guess you were just asking if the switch went OK ?

Just seen the update. Jesus wept. The PMs will be undeleted. I'm going to be busy.

Strange place that TZ. I was enjoying buying all sorts of stuff from its Sales Corner and making some decent acquaintances doing so, when suddenly everyone with less than so many posts was kicked out and banned from using the sales forum. confused

Eddie said he was sifting through 1500 PMs as he'd noticed they'd been undeleted. I'll see you all in 3 months.

C & P'd from TZ -

"One of your first tasks you should carry out on the new forum is tidy up your PM box, it seems that all deleted PMS are not actually deleted and every PM you ever received will be imported into your PM box(es) on the new forum. On the test forum, I had over 1500 PMS in my inbox . Krystal Hosting is looking at writing a script to permanently delete all deleted PMs prior to exporting but this may not happen."

I'll have a fair few, but not quite 1500 hehe

And it just got worse. Now there's a minimum number of posts plus you have to have been a member for a certain amount of time.

iirc it's 50 posts to view Sales Corner, and 250 to post there. I've really been enjoying TZ - learning a lot and finding some lovely watches, but it's not active enough for me to get my post count up! In 2 or 3 months I haven't managed to get to 50, so I may as well give up on making 250! (I'm assuming that you need to be able to post to buy items, or is that just for selling?)

you don't need to be able to post to buy, once you can see SC you can PM the seller to contact them to ask about buying (or just wire the cash).

PM's are still working- I've just had one from someone I've not spoken to before. it was sent to my registered email addy, and the reply was set to the email address of the person who sent it to me.

if that's how it will work from monday, that's ace, althought it does give me less of an excuse for not purchasing this weekend, as i didn't think i could contact people, and I can, and the problem with a frozen site is that some things are still staring me in the face to buy!!

I've tried to join over the last few weeks and it constantly says its unavailable at this time... Been like that for a few weeks.

Is it to do with the upgrade? Is there some kind I secret way to join?
