After some feedback and discussion amongst the administration team, we purchased a license from Invision for version four of the application. They've made some significant improvements to the forums, and we're happy to return. For those of you who've been complaining about MyBB and Vanilla, you win MDg

Just signed up!

Yay!! Just logged on for the first time in a month or so and about peed my pants!!! SOOOO happy! ::genuflects to Mike numerous times:: I've said it before and I'll say it again - you ROCK Mike. Donation will be in the mail in a few days!

Very much obliged. One year's license has been covered at this point. MDg

Let me also add, if anyone is willing to kick in for the license, we're taking donations. You can send them to donate@adastrafanfic.com. Thanks! MDg

It's a lovely green

Ad Astra Fanfic Teddog recommended it as a way to keep in touch, and since I'm constantly signed onto Discord (if not always on the computer), I figured 'why not?' Which is pretty much the same reasoning I had when I initially created this joint, so it's a philosophy that hasn't led me astray so far. XD So, even if you're not into fanfic anymore, or Trekfic, feel free to come say hi. Hang out. Mute when you're not interested in chatting. Unmute when you want to shoot the bull. If you are still into Trek fanfic, you can chat about it, too!

Archive update: Added a bunch of offender domains to Ad Astra's super special spam trap. Every story has also now been gone through by hand and any legacy spam reviews from the dark days of 2016 are now gone.

Forum update: We're now running 4.4.8 of IPS, which apparently was primarily a security and bug update.

thank you

Forums Update: We are now running 4.4.7 of IPS, which also includes a theme update. MDg

Hi everyone: The support site got spam bombed this morning, to the tune of over 15,000 new spam tickets. We're working with our support provider's support team to resolve the issue, and until then, we're literally crippled from responding to any new issues being reported on the site. According to what I've been told, it'll be around 48 hours before we can sort through the mess and restore support to a point where we can actually provide assistance. When I say "we," of course, I mean me, because I'm a one-man show and this is daunting under the current circumstances. MDg

Ugh. Thank you for everything you do.

Bunch of Updates: Forums have been updated to 4.3.6 Forum theme has been updated to 4.3.6 Blogs have been updated to Wordpress 5.0 Blog themes have been updated to utilize WP 5.0 MDg

All blogs have been updated to the latest version of WordPress. MDg

Money sent your way.

Yep, PayPal. MDg

Expect it in about two weeks, Mike. Thanks for everything.

I'll be fine-tuning things on the forums, so there might be some changes. You can also now change the background in the upper right hand corner, next to the little PM area (it looks like paintbrush icon). MDg

I'm so happy to be "home" again. Comfy old URL and comfy Ad Astra art. I hope all the old regulars will come back to see the place all spruced up! Thanks for all you do, Mike.

WordPress is updated to 4.6! MDg

I changed it for you in the database. This software uses email addresses for logins anyway, so it doesn't affect your login at all. MDg

Yes, many thanks MDG once again Took me a while to get back on through password troubles. Seems I've reverted back to Raven.
