Yeah, the password reset is necessary because the new board uses a newer, more secure password hashing method and the old board (like the new board) doesn't store your actual password but rather a hash of it, so it can't simply be rehashed using the new method. The old hashing method was fine at the time, but is now no longer considered secure.

Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I had some stuff and haven't had time to work on the board, but I think I should be able to do some work on it now. I want to look at make some changes to the cookies and adding back threadsuck would be good. Currently, I'm updating dependencies.
Need to make some changes to the whole 'Contact Admins' system.
Welcome back Gud, it's nice to see your pixels.
Yes it is!! And please let us know how we can help.
(After catching up on hundreds of posts and detouring to set up a GitLab account...)
Jesse, did you get the donations@buffistas.org email issue resolved? I don't have access to the site's control panel, so we'll need someone who does if this is still a problem.

Sweet! I'll be happy to help test.
It does remain true that donations@ isn't forwarding to me anymore, but I haven't tried to do anything about it. I probably have whatever login info we need, but Gud definitely does.
...and I just got a straight failure notice on my test email. Let me know if there's something I should be doing! I don't know where anything is hosted anymore.
I just filed a feature request for threadsuck capability and bug about the donations@ email in GitLab.
Pretty sure we're on Digital Ocean now? I'll probably follow up with Gud about getting control panel access for a few Stompies for emergencies.
So..... should I still be paying Dreamhost every month?
