https://www.poz.com/  returns as an invalid url
http://poz.com              loads right up

regardless though, there isn't a forum login at http://poz.com
but at http://forums.poz.com (also w/o an "s")

We are in the middle of launching a new POZ.com. You may see some intermittent issues until it is fully migrated later today. The new URL will be secure (https://www.poz.com). The Forums are not changing in anyway.

I am having no trouble at all...

[Jeff G]

The new site looks fantastic . Well Done !

I'm seeing the new site now.
IMHO
ugh. it looks like buzzfeed

[Wade]

I think it looks great , and is much more user friendly and easier to navigate.

[Jim Allen]

Indeed it also seems far more touch screen/mobile device friendlier, hence feels up-to-date. The device friendlier part is great for me :-).  it also means more people can use and view the poz site and that's really good news. Better site for all us users and tools for everyone who needs/wants to find information.

Does that mean we are no longer allowed to use punctuation or paragraphs?

Lord I hope so, never have been big on those things anyway.

Punctuation, hmm let me put it this way, it's not one of my major worries in life.

Well after a few days of instability it seems like the forums are back up and running. Happy days 

I know Ian put a lot of effort and time in over the weekend and holidays to fix the problems and so a big Thank you to Ian, and also to Peter on the tech team.

If anyone does have any problems please, please do let us know.

This morning I am finding that the "Welcome" block of information expands every time I move on the site.  Over the years I have experienced days where it would appear on first opening the site, but after I minimized it, it would stay that way for days/weeks at a time.  Not today --- it's a bit annoying!!

[Jim Allen]

Hi Mike,

Thanks and will pass it on.

Anyone else experiencing this ?

Jim

[Wade]

Not to me, but then I never block that section off.

[bocker3]

Some additional information -- it is happening on both Safari, Chrome and Edge browsers.  As well as happening on my phone and desktop.

Hi Mike.

Thanks for the update, I just got round to emailing Ian with the details and included this info.
I tested myself and had the same result, personally I would suspect its a cookie issue, cookie not being stores or the setting at least not in the cookie but that just my thoughts and I am no tech

Hi Mike,

Peter the technical guy worked on this today and says its fixed. I tested it for myself and its working for me correctly.

Let me know if you still are having an issue.

Jim

[bocker3]

Problem solved!!

Thanks!
Mike

Hey guys,

I am new to this forum and struggling to write my first post. There is no category in my account like 'write/submit a post'. Any tips highly appreciated. Thanks.

[Waverunner]

Is it possible to delete my profile?  If so, how?

[Jim Allen]

Hi Waverunner,

I've sent you an email regarding this query.

Hi I wasn't sure where to post this and it seems I can't DM an admin. I use my iphone to browse this forum and it has helped me a lot to coup with being infected with HIV and I went on just now and it says "Guest" has been banned? I don't have a lot of time to go on my actual computer and it kind of upsets me that I can't browse the forum on cell, ask questions, or anything. Maybe I had viewed the forum to many time not logged in and it banned me.? I don't know if anyone can help me or point me to someone who can.

I'm using my computer to post this BTW

[Jim Allen]

Hiya,

"Guest, you have been banned" would only be part of the message normally spoken.

I'll send you a PM that you can reply to so we can get some details and check, most likely it's the automated filter used to protect forums & websites that has some of your details flagged.

Best, Jim

[thenoesis89]

Hey thank you for working with getting this issue resolved

[Vern58]

How can I erase my Forum Posts?

[Ptrk3]

I've removed your "blank" posts.  Are those the ones you wanted removed in the "Memorial" forum?

[soulz15]

Hi if i posted a new topic why i can't see the modify or the reply button this means it was disabled by the admin?

Hi,..


You only have a certain amount of minutes to modify a post.  After that time, the modify button will not be there anymore, and you will not be able to modify a post.


I am not sure of the time limit for modification. It might be 10 minutes or 15 minutes. Jim can tell you the time limit.

Or possibly you don't have enough post yet.

Now I, just modified this post, to add the above sentence.

I modified this again,( two times) to let you know the modify button , is just to the right of the quote button.

And the reply button ?

You would have had to hit the reply button, because you replied to my last post.

Reply button--- at the bottom left

Correct the max time limit to edit is 30 mins, however, once someone has replied to the post the edit function is also disabled if I am not mistaken.

And the reply button ?

I am guessing that you mean the reply button to your "Do I have HIV" thread?
The reason you can't post is you have used up your three free posts.
