Forums

Just a note regarding the last post here. CadTutor.net is back up and running. See this post from founder David regarding the current status. Click on the image below to visit.

As posted earlier, the Augi forums are back up and running on the old familiar vBulletin format but unfortunately it seems impossible to stay logged in. This seems to be a side effect of the integration with the "new" Augi main website. If you visit the forums it may say that you are not logged in. Then if you click on the "Login" link, it takes you to the main Augi home page, where it says you are logged in. Then you go back to the forum page and it says you are NOT logged in, and so on. Augi says they are working to fix this.

On another note, the CadTutor website, including the forums, have recently been hit by hackers which has caused some havoc over there including Google marking cadtutor.net as an "attack page". As a result, David has taken the site offline temporarily for a review. See the notice below.

Well it took a while, but the Augi forums are back up and running using the tried and true vBulletin format. Your username may be different if you ever logged into the "new" site, but you can request that it be changed.

If you still have bookmarks for places like the Control Panel or new posts, they should still work also.

For more info, see this post from David Harrington.

I'm not going to say much on the current status of the Augi forums, other than to say I think they may be working on getting the historical data restored, although I don't think they are going back to the vBulletin format.
