Steming from the "Non-6502 forum idea" topic:

Dajgoro aked me to announce that his AnyCPU forum is ready to go, at http://anycpu.org/forum/index.php. (Front page of the website is http://anycpu.org/.) The AnyCPU forum is a sister forum to this 6502.org forum, a place to discuss other processors to improve the dialog on those without losing our 65-family focus here on this one.

Anyone who has been here awhile remembers times that someone had questions about Z80 or 6809 or other processor and couldn't find support but they came here because this community is so good on organization and expertise. Now we can steer them over to AnyCPU-- not to get rid of them, but so they can get the help there that would otherwise cost us our 65 focus here-- and the AnyCPU site directs those interested in the 65's over here to keep the 65 support more centralized, which is beneficial to all parties. When members bring up new 65-related things on AnyCPU, we will continue to nudge them over to 6502.org. Some of us will be on both forums.

There seems to have been a hunger for what Mike Naberezny created here, applicable to other processors whose support has until now been poor and disjointed. Dajgoro's new forum should help the situation.

There will also be an online store to order things like Daryl's SBCs and modules and my memory module and other future modules at any time of the day or night, using Paypal. That will be coming online. Hopefully there won't be many bugs to work out.

What's an additional VIA among friends, anyhow?

To help this post, and the new forum, show up in searches, it would be good to have some mentions of appropriate keywords both here and there: 6800, 6809, 68000, 8080, 8088, Z80, 1802, single board computer, SBC, microprocessor project, 8-bit micro, homebuilt CPU, and so on.

(In the case of the new forum, much better to have real content of course! Posts which mention existing systems and describe them in a little detail, for example.)

I didn't record my password so when I told the board to re-send my password, the board or I.E. couldn't display the page after I clicked on the link. I know it is a new board and I am very very patient. You might want to test this on a dummy account because you don't want to get locked out.

I didn't write it down either and ran into the same problem.. when clicking the link it goes to a 'https' page and that doesn't currently work on anycpu.org. What I did then was to edit the browser address and remove the 's' so that it became an http:// address instead, and that worked. I could then log in with the password provided, but it immediately switched over to 'https' again, I handled all of those by editing the address to 'http' and managed to get to my User page and set my password to the one I wanted.
So the site works, it's just that all SSL pages (https) are broken.

Thing is that to speed up the site development I just set the forum into a iframe.
So that seems to be the problem, if you have any suggestions how to fix it, let me know.
Meanwhile I added that "Click Here if you want to see the forum across the entire browser." message on top of the forum, so go and click it. That should fix those issues.

The SSL problems are still there, also in the non-frames version. https links just don't work for some reason.

-Tor

Hmm, maybe there is something wrong with the forum settings, or with the hosting itself.
Ill have to look into it then. Thanks for reporting that.

Edit: When exactly do you get the https link, I just went to recover my password, and I didn't get a https link.

It seems to be semi-random.. occasionally the next action pops me into an https link.
This morning I did the following:
1: Point a browser to anycpu.org
2: Selected forum
3: Logged in
4: Selected the non-frames version

and I got an https link. Edited out the 's' and all was fine.

Then I quit that instance of the browser.
I then opened anycpu.org again, and as this time I was already logged in I just selected the forum and the non-frames version, but i did _not_ get the https variant this time.

One method that gave me the https link every time was to use the default frames version, then post something. After a couple of seconds the forum will automatically show me the thread again, with my own posting as the last one. This would _always_ give me a https page (which would fail), and I had to edit it to http.
This also happens if I post in the non-frames version, but I don't remember if it happens every time or not! You see, by now I'm so used to manually edit the https link(s) that I don't remember when I do..

Maybe you can add a 'testing' (sub)forum for forum test posts and check it out?

-Tor

I have not been having any trouble logging in, and I check it many times a day. Are you using the http://anycpu.org/forum/index.php link I posted above? I made that one my AnyCPU bookmark, and told the browser to log me in automatically on every visit. I have my password written down, but I don't remember it all off the top of my head.

Just solve the equation and write the result in the lower textbox, and click to the button right to it.

Cryptic error?
What kind of cryptic error?

Dunno if this is the same as what BDD's been getting but I see this "unexpected message" error a lot. I notice it doesn't seem to mean much -- it's as likely to appear after a successful operation as after an unsuccessful one.

Seems to me that all SSL functions and redirections should be disabled on the site: it's just not right.

(I know Dajgoro is busy with exams right now... good luck!)
