Tech Support
Currently the Cigar Weekly site is running on several systems while we are
converting it from the old system running on a shared Windows based server to
our beefy new Linux server. On occasion aspects of the site may be broken
or mysteriously disappear. I'll try to keep an updated list of these issues
on this page. Should you notice any problems not listed below or need help
with your Forums account please send e-mail to
webmaster@cigarweekly.com.
Forum Account Problem?
On March 3, 2004 we initiated a policy whereby all accounts must have a
valid email address associated with them. If we start receiving
bounce notices due to undeliverable email from the server to your
account (i.e. for PM notifications, etc) your account will be deactivated.
Send email to webmaster@cigarweekly.com
from a working email address to have your account reinstated. Be sure to
mention your username in the email so we know which account to reacivate.
Current Known Issues
- Gigante Links is working, but there's no way (yet) to add new
links.
- The cigar database is severely broken and out of date. This should
be fixed soon. I have finished coding up the new database interface and
we are working on bringing some of the information up to date and beta
testing the interface. At the moment it does not include reviews or
ratings - those are in the works. You can help us test the new CDB at
http://www2.cigarweekly.com/cdb/.
- For some reason AOL and Yahoo (and others) tend to intercept some of
the email sent from the BBS software as spam. If you have done some
action that would send you email (changed your password, registered for
an account, etc) please check your spam folder to see if it got
intercepted. It is also a good idea to add cigarweekly.com to your
whitelist. We do not send spam, so that should be safe.
