Hello,
We launched our forum again. There are few improvements, almost all of them are under hood (speedups, infrastructure changes, most visible is MyAvast account integration - all you need to get logged in on the forum is to login to your MyAvast account).
Forum should be much faster than before.

I was expecting to see new forum software.

I can’t get signed back in under my Evangelist account (schmidthouse)

Very confusing when asked for user name and password (which is normal) BUT, when entered says “doesn’t look like an email address”!! Didn’t ask for an email address it asked for USERNAME.
In any case didn’t recognize email address and ended up with some new account.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Yep I found that as well, enter your email address as the login name. Took me a while to suss that out

Great update (irony!) I can’t login into my old account (Machiavelli).

What the **** is going on?

In the login box enter your e-mail address and then click forgotten password

Chocholo, we continue to use Simple Machines… And was it updated? What more has changed? Permissions of Evangelists?

I suspect my old account was registered on myopera.com email (My Opera was closed), so I can’t reset the password

Just checking if everything is fine with forum.

Edit:
Everything is OK.

Thanks, chocholo. It’s great to be back.

While it was indeed unfortunate the Avast! Forums got hacked…the process for trying to get re-established under my original account here was a horrendous pain in the ***! All information I entered was correct from the email account, password, etc, yet Avast! just could NOT seem to get its act together! Spent over an hour going around and around with this blasted mess before Avast could get it right!

This forum could NOT even manage to send the confirmation email to my email address (a completely valid address by the way)…and that is after waiting 45 minutes for them to even send it.

I ended up having to create a brand new account altogether, new email address, etc, etc. So needless to say…I am VERY pissed at this point! ALL my previous posts, PM’s etc are of course…obviously now gone into oblivion.

And, by the way…despite enlarging the font here to 300%…I still have major problems with trying to read the verification code, nor does trying to LISTEN to them help me either!

Get your act together Avast! >:(

In the login box enter your e-mail address and then click forgotten password

Use the login of your my avast! account.

Changed my password without any issues.
It’s great to have the forums back. ;D ;D

@ kls490a

1. Log-out
2. Log-in
3. Click “forgot log-in information”.
4. Follow the procedure to reset password.

It took me all of five minutes on a 8 MB/sec connection. 8)

I used the same e-mailaddress for the program and for this form. But when I login with that e-mailaddress it doesn’t make the link to my original username. So now I have a brand new account… I am NOT amused. >:(

Also, I expected an e-mail to inform me about the forum being fixed and with a link to recover my original profile. I mean, there was an e-mail informing the forum was down… Again: NOT amused. >:(

And I can only agree with kls490a: the CAPTCHA is a real PITA. Very difficult to read. Too difficult!

I have a 30Mbps connection, but your m.o. doesn’t work for me. Probably because I used the same e-mailaddress for the avast! account and the avast! forum account.

Edit 1: Can’t seem to create an avatar either. Not with a URL and not with uploading.

Edit 2: This problem is solved, but I still can’t access my old profile…

I had no problems logging in but an email informing me that the forum was back up would have been nice.

Interesting at my end … I was delighted to see the email from chocholo, clicked on my old bookmark and found myself at the https addy, already logged in.

The only minor problem apparently was with some cookies … as others have noted, I found that all postings in all forums were considered “new”, plus I had to reset my local time. So I left (without logging out), deleted all avast cookies (without touching permissions), came back in and made appropriate changes including “mark all as read”, and things seem to be fine now.

Part of the minor problems may have been due to the upgrade to Firefox 30 … I found that “site preferences” for some other places, such as Amazon, have also gone astray and need restored.

Many thanks, chocolo (and probably Vlk and others, too), it’s good to be back.

I used the login of my avast account but had to choose a different display name to the one I previously had on the forum. I had a different email address on the old forum

I’ve now noticed that when I click on My Devices within the program an “Unexpected Error” is shown and in General Settings my avast account status is shown as “not connected”.

The local time is wrong and I can’t find where to change it.
