I can't edit my posts, much of my user profile, and it seems my PM box is not usable....Can someone fix this?

I don't see anything wrong....screen shot what you're getting.....

First pic is what I get when I try to edit anything in my profile, second shows there is no edit button for my posts, third shows my PM box (0 messages allowed WTH?).

I've ignored this for a while, but it is becoming a substantial nuisance.

Don't see anything wrong, so I shouted out to Wardsweb.....

Should be all fixed now, have a look and let me know....

I can't upload attachments or make additions to my profile album, I get the following "Forbidden" errors:

You don't have permission to access /newattachment.php on this server.

You don't have permission to access /album.php on this server.

Edit: funny, it worked for the thread I just made and Wardsweb hasn't even read my message.

Drop a PM to Wardsweb. I can't see anything wrong in the Admin console that would cause it :dunno:

At this time Wardsweb hasn't yet read my message but I found the problem on my own, turns out the board was choking on the apostrophe in a file name. Two other photos uploaded successfully, so I tried the problematic photo again and still stalled out. I renamed the file and it finally took off.

Videokarma.org site error

Whenever I try to log in to Videokarma.org using the Microsoft Edge browser, I consistently get an error message: "Your connection isn't private. . . ." Is there any way I can log in to this site using Microsoft Edge without constantly getting this error? I would like to be able to have a desktop icon on Microsoft Edge which will connect me to Videokarma.org without seeing this error. It doesn't seem right to me this icon should be causing an error anyway.

Thanks much for any assistance.

Videokarma.org site error

Using Edge, I get the exclamation point in a triangle with "Not secure" up in the URL field, but no message in the center of the screen, same as with Chrome. Can you detail exactly the steps you are using to accessing the site?

That error is simply because they don't have an https version of the site for encryption, basically whatever your password is, it can be read in plaintext when you log in, that's the primary downfall to the lack of https (if you happen to use the same password elsewhere, which I don't usually recommend doing anyway). Whatever we type here in public obviously is already public, but also things like DM's can be read as well during the network transfer. That's why Edge says this, but I never get this popup and I use Edge as well on Windows 11, most I see is "Not secure" in the top left, nothing ever more.

There is also a message detailing the hazards of logging in to the site; however, it does give the user an option to log in anyway, again with a warning that the site could be accessed by hackers and such.

I simply would like to log in to the FCC's license renewal site so I can renew my amateur radio license. I do not want any trouble with this when the time comes to renew the license in just over a year from now. What ever happened to the option the FCC used to have for amateur licenses, in which the licensee could renew the license literally any time before it expires? Now they are making licensees jump though hoops and everything else, just to renew the license. I could renew my license by mail, using FCC Form 605; the way things are going with online renewal, this could be my only other option. I may use that option anyway, as I am fed up with having to go around in circles.

However, I am thinking I may be worrying for nothing. After all, it is nowhere near time to renew yet, since my license will not expire for over a year; in fact, if I try to renew now, I may get a message online to that effect. Doesn't the FCC have a system whereby they will alert amateurs with licenses about to expire that it is coming close to time to renew? If so, I would like to know about it. As I mentioned earlier, I would rather not apply for a new license if I can avoid it.

Thanks and 73,
