Website Errors, Email Change Password
Posted: Fri Nov 27, 2015 4:59 pm
Folks,
First I want to say Happy Holidays to everyone, I hope your season is bright and filled with lots of families and time with your dogs in the woods.
We have received many emails about a topic, and I wanted to explain the emails that many have been getting concerning "changed Password"
Let me first explain how the site is/was, BGH is basically two websites (http://www.biggamehoundsmen.com) and (http://www.biggamehoundsmen.com/forum) they both have accounts and passwords. We have done allot of work so that they look the same, but in fact they are different.
We were running a Bridge Script that made sure that both accounts always matched along with passwords. So if ever you changed your password on one site i.e. Forum it would automatically sync your new password with the Main site.
Well on one of the recent updates for security it no longer allows that function to happen. Today I've disabled that bridge so we should not get the annoying emails, However users should understand that this might cause them to have to log into the site twice depending on where and what they are looking at.
For example, if you go to http://www.biggamehoundsmen.com and log in, then you click on the forum you may need to log in again once you get to the forum (Or message board) to avoid this Please click the Forum button first than then log into the forum.
I'm sorry for any confusion or frustration, It worked well for about 3-4 years but apparently it will not work anymore.
