Forum World Heritage Site

After a serious issue with the performance of our database on March 13, which led to the unavailability of the website, we have migrated the WHS website and this Forum to a different hosting provider with a more up-to-date setup and improved security measures. The website has been online again since March 16, and is now almost back to "normal". We are still working on finalizing the migration, but from now on at a lower pace as all core features are fully functional again.

The status as of today (May 4) of what you may and may not expect to be working is as follows:

Web pages
All read-only web pages are fine now.

On a detailed level, the following error is known and being investigated:
- The List, By Inscription Year, the order of the years shown in the listbox is not chronological

Reviews
Adding a new review (including a photo) works again. Editing older ones works as well. An issue has been reported with using the Mozilla browser, so better to use Chrome or Edge.

Counts
Updating your WHS and TWHS Counts has been enabled again. Use it wisely and with restraint.

Some people have seen their count go back to 0 after updating when it wasn't stable yet last week. For those who reached out to me, I've reset their count to their previous number. If you need that as well, please reach out to me via mail (see below).

Forum
The Forum should work fine. Some people have reporting getting errors while switching between the Forum and the main website. We're looking into that.

Profile
Changing your password doesn't work because we have to integrate it with a new mail function, which unfortunately takes a bit more time to become available. The same prevents signing up new users (they need to get an automatic verify mail) - for those we offer a workaround.

If you need to reach me for some reason via e-mail, you can use els@worldheritagesite.org

P.S.: this topic is locked as it is meant to communicate to all users of the website what the current status is without the need for reading the forum from A-Z. If you experience other issues that are not mentioned above, you can report them here.
