Ha ... yes, we're back. This one was Murphy's Law in full effect, man. Forum login started wigging out (becoming "wonky" I believe is the technical term? :D ) right at the same time we were intensively hunkered down on an unrelated major launch and I had no choice but simply to pull the plug here for a bit. ("And when you say 'a bit' you mean like nearly 2 days, right, Brad? Just want to make sure I'm clear.")

This, too, shall pass soon. The existing mega-flaky (that's another technical term :D ) forum login mechanism is getting kicked to the curb in the very near future and is being replaced by a properly-staffed, properly-tested, properly-proper centralized sign-in mechanism. When some of you were recently helping us with beta testing, that's one element you were helping test - you just didn't know it yet at the time. All good stuff coming up!

Brad, during the Forums" outage I tried using the FenderConnect beta site. Althouh it did come up, for some reason it did not recognize my email address nor username as being registered. Both are. I have yet to try it again. Was that also related to the interim disruption?

Wow, what a relief....Great job getting us all together again... :mrgreen: I too played w/ the wonky login and was rewarded w/ a new password that worked on the profile parts, while the forum was down. It worked here and now so, another well done job!

Yeah, before this went down, I had that "wrong password" issue again. I managed to log in on my phone to post about it beforehand, though.

Nice to have the gang back together again. Thanks, for all the work to you Brad, and all those related at Fender.

Yesterday, I read your post. Would have answered "yes" but the forum wouldn't let me in.

Brad Traweek - Fender wrote:

That apparently refers to the sign-in hassle 'bout two weeks ago... Beta testing, my ash.

Promises, promises... :mrgreen:

(Seriously, didn't realize I'd be getting cold turkey so quick with the forum unreachable. Must get me a new hobbyt, must get me a new hobbyt.)

No, that blip a couple weeks back was a similar failure of the same current mechanism we intend to retire here.

No worries Brad! Got extra practice time in, cleaned up and fired up all my amps for a little fun time jamming and comparison!

:mrgreen:

Rec'd an email yesterday thanking me for participating in the beta, it containied a link to a survey. The link resolved to a Survey Monkey site which stated I had already completed the survey!? The last Survey was weeks ago....?
