Hi Folks. I am retiring and handing over the reigns of Green Building and The Green Building Forum to the trusty care of the AECB. As many of you will know Sally Hall and I set up the AECB way back in about 1988 and Sally is still close to the helm of that organisation so what better home for these sites?

Thank you all for your support over the years, it is you, the users of the forum that have made this such a special and cherished resource. I wish you all the best for the future, I’ll give some gentle support to the team that are taking over and I’m hopeful that Tony Cowling, (thank you Tony) will stay on as a highly respected volunteer moderator and guru for going forward.

I’m sure in the next few days the new admin folk will introduce themselves to you and ask for your wisdom and kindness as they pick up the baton. I’ll be retaining my email address for the next few weeks but I’m certain I will be left in relative peace as you are all so good at what you do best without admin intervention but I feel happy that new blood has come along to bring things up to date with your help. I’ll encourage the new admin to carefully digest your comments on what is needed to go forward.
All the best, Keith.

Thank you Keith for hosting this forum over the past years, and for organizing the transition to AECB. Both are much appreciated.

And enjoy your well-deserved retirement :)

Thank you for all your work and effort. Enjoy your retirement.

Thanks for all the hard work Keith, and the AECB is a perfect fit!

Yes it has but had to sign in again even though was signed in!

Thanks Keith, you have given us a great resource and left a brilliant legacy.

I got this message a short time back. I never sorted out proper access to make new posts. I will try another browser than Chrome.

Sorry for delay getting back to you. Please check that your browser allows you to interact with ‘untrusted sites’ that should let you proceed as normal.

*Hey, that's weird! I was able to post that while it tells me at the top of the page that I am not signed in... (?????)*

IIRC some parts of the forum are public and don't require logging in, whereas the rest is members-only and does require logging in. I'm permanently logged-in so I'm not sure.

That was it! Once I had deleted the auto-filled p'wd it didn't allow sending.

I just tried a test run above (.) and it allowed me to submit a comment even though it's telling me at the top of the page that I'm not signed in. Actually I did sign in beforehand!

I cannot post new topics any ideas?

I started a thread for you - Tony

There's been lots of discussions with various people having problems. Basically the forum software hasn't changed whilst the browsers that people use has in many cases. I still use Firefox on a desktop computer and that still works even though it is a newer version. People who use browsers on phones and people who use Chrome or chrome-based browsers have said they have problems. Don't remember about other combinations.

So it has but lots of insecure messages in process.
