The Archived Forums - Now Available

[Xanthippe]

I thought I read that if you did not have 100posts/60+ days and access to the private boards BEFORE the site crashed, you won't have it now (over there) as the system will not sinc up the access you've gained. Please correct me if I'm wrong...

This got answered on the Site Support board:

Thanks, JG. I'm just wondering if having 100 quality posts here on the new board will count when it comes to photo thread access on the old board?

The answer is....yes!

Hope that helps!

You're correct - you won't have the upgraded access automatically. However, an admin can go manually fix your account in the archives to match your current level of access here on the main site.

If this isn't appropriate to ask on this thread, please let me know.

I'm wondering if one of you old-LHC members would be willing to do me a favor. I found the old Chagrin Valley Soap and Shampoo Bar thread in the archive a week or two ago and was slowly reading through it. I apparently failed to add it to my favorites, and the power went out the other day and I lost what I had open.

The problem is that since I wasn't a member of the old LHC, I didn't find this thread using the search function, but by reading through 100+ pages of archived threads. I don't have the ability to search the "old" forums, and I am wondering if someone who *does* have that ability would be willing to post a link to the thread I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance!

Edited to add: I'm pretty sure from reading through this thread that I can't get an account on the archived forum if I wasn't already a member at the time it crashed, so my question is based on that assumption. If I am incorrect and there is some way for me to gain "search" access on the old board, please let me know.

I found: Chagrin Valley Shampoo Bars and Soap in Recipes, Henna, and Herbal Haircare with over 3k posts. Is that the one you were looking for?

HTH!

Just_Isabel, thank you so much! That's the one I was looking for.

Welcome.

Oh, I just thought of something that might work for you: have you tried to google using "site:archive.longhaircommunity.com *insert what you want to search for*"?
I haven't used google to search for threads here because I don't need to, but it could work for someone who can't log in to the archives.

I'm having troubles with logging in the old forums. It seems that my password is correct, I also see the "thank you for logging in, Iylivarae"-site... but if it redirects me back to the forums, I'm logged out again... and I just can't get into my account...

Is there a solution to that problem?

This might be a bit redundant, but have you logged out here?

I usually work with a different browser window - I'm logged in to the current LHC in one window, and in the archives in the other.

Oh, that's so awesome! It worked! Thanks a lot.

Does anyone know why I might be having trouble logging in to the archived forums? I type in my log in and password, it does the little "thank you for logging in, rhosyn_du" thing, I get redirected, and...I'm still not logged in.
