It seems that newly registered members cannot post to our blog site. Code has reregister to the site twice but cannot post.
I just waded through the member's section looking at "date registered" and "number of posts" to see if I could figure out when this posting problem started. Code has been able to register but not to post. Based on the first 10 member pages, 18 people registered in 2019, 11 in 2020 and 3 in 2021. None of these people show a single post. The first newly registered person I see with a post is on June 4, 2018. All registrations after that date have no posts. You don't have to be a statistician to figure out that is not likely normal.
Must be a glitch, or an unattended-to-procedure to turn on posting privileges. Assuming I'm right, any thoughts on how we can fix that? Can we bribe them?

I think the thing to do is to start a “new” forum on pro boards that is actively maintained by 1 or 2 here now. The new forum could quote old forum threads and the old forum could direct anyone to the new forum with an “Invitation” thread that could be kept as the top post by no longer posting in old forum threads. Kevin moved on when he dropped the forum from the Solarham website. We’re deplorable orphans.

I am going to drop an email tomorrow with the idea of buying or administering the present site.

Appreciate your effort Sig. I think the idea of moving has been put forward on occasion, but perhaps the writing really got put in the wall last November 😉
If I can help I'd be happy to.
Could, if control is obtained, we never accept anyone called Andrew??? Just a thought.....

My only concern is if we repeat the name 3 times in one post he returns to haunt us 😬😆

I have dropped a letter in the mail box. Couldn't find an e-mail address to sent it to. I did try and call them this morning, they are on Pacific Time and not early risers it seems.
Will try the phone tag game again at noonish my time.

is Kevin of Solar Ham the originator of the forum? Has he ever been contacted for help? He used to post on the Space Weather subject and I think ne maintains the current Solar Ham Website: www.solarham.net/

Talked with a feller in California. He said he deals with the "paid" side, (business side) and I had to go to support, which I did in the link above.
I have more time than money, (not much of either), but will pursue this as much as I can.

He used to post on the Space Weather subject and I think ne maintains the current Solar Ham Website: www.solarham.net/I have tried, repeatedly. He worked at a NAPA store or such. He seems to have abandoned this forum, and is not keen to respond to requests for help. His Ham call sign will give a profile. Potentially, we need a Ham operator to contact him via radio?
