I have had a fairly annoying new user registration bug for about a month now which I believe I finally have squashed. If you have any continued issues, please email me directly via webmaster@ipsnd.net and let me know so I can help you out. Sorry for the hurdles!!

Terry Conn submitted the 45,000th serial number today. Thanks for everyone's support... Keep the serial numbers coming!

With all these changes recently I have made a pretty large effort to upgrade many of the backend libraries and utilities. One thing I just did tonight was to remove a directive in the site headers that told the various web browsers to run in 'Internet Explorer 9' mode. I put this in there originally because when IE 10 and IE11 came out, they didn't like some of the Javascript (specifically the image hover+zoom script). I just tested the site in IE11, Chrome 64.0.3282.140 and Edge and they all seemed to work without the 'backwards compatibility' thang turned on. So, Im taking it out, this should let your various browsers work the best they can and hopefully nothing breaks. On that note. Email Me if something is broken for you and let me know your browser and version please. thanks.

All of the charts on the site have been upgraded at this point. The old .jpg based charts while pretty, were not very functional as far as hyperlinking etc and they were also server-based. The new reports use Chart.js and are asynchronous, animated and eventually will have the ability to link to the context you hover on... so users, games, etc. More to come soon!!!

It has been quite a bit harder to find all the bugs associated with switching security platforms but I think I have them all fixed now for the most part. Also, on the Game Pages, the 3 little charts that show the Country, Condition and GamePart PIE charts have been moved over to using chartjs which are more flexible and also interactive. I will be slowly moving all charts over to this platform and then introducing some other cool charts as I get more time. Keep on Keepin On!

Sorry, I broke nudging tonight after upgrading the login changes. Just got it fixed. Nudge away!!!

Okay, step one of the 2018 starting goals is complete. The backend tables and security on the sites login has been updated. It *should* be transparent and all logins should work us usual. The big difference is that we now store all passwords in a non-reversible hash instead of an encrypted password. What this means is that you can't get your password sent to you anymore because I can't decrypt it and email it to you anymore, what you can do is like most other sites, is that if you forget, you can get a password reset link emailed to the email on your account and you will have the ability to reset the password using that secret link and embedded code. 

I will be doing a few more things on this in the background over the coming weeks. Also trying to get the site to be a little snappier on the cloud platform. More on that coming soon!

15000 nudges and counting... Congratulations!
