I've tried to verify umpteen times. Nothing worked before.

Now it maybe it's fixed or it maybe me doing something different but it worked!

Instead of clicking the link in Gmail like I've done every time before, I copied it and posted it into a browser. It worked this time. I'm back on here.

Wanted to share in case it helped someone else get back on.

I've just followed suit and that seems to have worked!

Great Scott, that worked for me too.

Luke seems to not be around, so i think the site will slowly die
Unless he is on holiday

Thanks for the heads up! Now I can think about actually replying to some threads...

just done it - seems to have worked

Thanks for the above.

Seems strange the photos ive lost are mainly on three threads.

Thanks for your help
I was starting to lose the will to live

Genius! Was almost ready to give up on the site!

Advice followed and back on

I too had almost given up on LCB, but some persistence (and help) pays off.

Thanks for the posts about updating password/how to verify. All sorted now...!

Despite the sometimes slow traffic, I certainly read a lot of what is on here - even the very old posts.

Someone else noted the Haynes forum had gone - indeed it was down for a good while - but now back up. Also a great resource.

Thanks to Luke to keeping this running, much appreciated, and personally I just accept the occasional blips...

Well done! Worked for me too.

Can I suggest we post this info on other forums we frequent in case users haven't spotted this one?

Any chance an admin could pin it tp alert peeps to the problem if it can't easily be fixed? Can anyone get hold of Chris or Luke?

This post needs a huge bump......

I have now managed to get back on after 2 months of struggling..... Mods....is there any solution? The kit car world is dying as is this site. Issues like this will make people walk away, as almost did

If admin don't login/don't care anymore for the forum, then maybe we need to consider a new forum elsewhere or consider someone taking it over?

OP...thank you for sharing this work around.

Phew, at last, I've managed to sort out the link to get the red top banner away !!

I can post again !!

The strange thing for me is I was marked as needing to verify and when I tried it didn't work but for some reason when I login now it's worked.
Hey, not complaining!

I've cleaned up the email verification process so this should be much easier now.

Brilliant, thank you.

Thanks Luke!
