I locked the openbb in a fit of twitdom,
and then signed out so I could see what the general user
would see - and now I can't unlock it.

I've set the message up:
"Board is currently down for maintainance. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Please come back later..."

now I simply can't do a thing.

signed a big twit.
:p

this is nothing to do with jsnwebservices.

It's my openbb board I set up via hostrocket control panel:
http://ftmaustralia.org/openbb/index.php

Don't know how to sign in again.
the link to do so - has disappeared once I signed out, after locking the board.

I know, I was just using it is an example, as that is what my board says (OpenBB RC3) I think there is a bug in the RC2 of openbb that stops you from logging back in when you have done this, although it was fixed in later versions.........

if you give me a few minutes, I'll see what I can find, and see if there is a way round it as I have a RC2 Board installed somewhere

Not Knocking HR, but use a differant board....there are many Free BB out there much better...
Might I suggest Ikonboard ?

..ikonboard..um..sorry, but openbb surpasses anything that ikonboard did for us. the second time ikonboard fell over on us, I spent a straight 48 hours sorting the stuff out, and setting up openbb.

...I'm not making any kind of judgement as to whether ikonboard was better or worse overall - but nothing went right with it - I think we were just one of the users who fell through it.

Hermitt,

I've been in touch with the openbb support team, and apparentley that is a known bug, and there is no way round it, what they suggest you do is upgrade to the latest version, which you can download from openbb.com, as this should fix the problem.

and hopefully, the end is in sight :cool:

Thanks again,

I would read the readme file carefully though, as if you don't do it correctley, you may screw up your database.
