Title: Is 1branson forum down again
Post by: biscuitcreek on October 21, 2014, 07:48:19 PM
Does anyone here know if the 1branson forum is down again? I have not been able to connect either this morning or this evening. I get messages about "not accepting the connection" and something else. Have tried with both IE and Chrome.

I tried twice today to check the lake reports and couldn't get through, either.

Basil has had a lot of trouble getting the site back together again after the hack. I know they've been working on rebuilding the old site, so maybe they're just converting things over. Or they could just be trying to get the boards updated.

I wouldn't worry too much yet, hopefully they'll come back on within the next couple of days.

Thanks, Shave, and to the others who have responded. Since the Branson Tourism Center is the owner of the 1branson board, I sent them an email.
Will let you folks know if I get a response.

I logged on yesterday and cannot post a reply or PM. Account states "Your account has not been confirmed and is not yet active! " but never received an email. Not sure what is going on.

I asked yesterday on 1branson. You should have received an activation email. Did you check your spam folder?

This happens a lot on most forums. You have a name or email that sounds like it could be related to a spam account, so it gets caught up in a filter and eventually deleted. If this happens you have to actually contact the site administrators to get it sorted out. Even a small forum like this gets hundreds of spam accounts filtered weekly, so they don't actually get checked.
