OpenGL Discussion boards upgraded

About the man pages, the top part with menus should not even be there, it is not realy useful and take a lot of space.

I can't see the new forums very well. The colors do not have enough contrast to be clearly visible.

I also find this. Not all of us have perfect eyesight.

There's a dark theme if you go to My Stuff -> My Preferences.

My eyesight is fine. It's the light-gray on baby-blue color theme that is the problem.

Actually I think it's more of a Periwinkle, or maybe a cross of Periwinkle and Chineese blue.

Say, the dark theme is pretty slick.

I prefrred the old forums's theme hehe

For a few hours each day, I am unable to post to the forum, because I get this message:

UBB Error
The host from which you are accessing the board is not recognized as a valid host. This is more than likely related to a firewall issue that is blocking the referer variable. Check your firewall settings and try again.

Disabling my firewall had no effect. I just have to wait a few hours, and then it starts working again.

I had this message spuriously too.
But do have it each time I use my second PC, which is behind a NAT (basic windows internet sharing). No idea how to fix it however. Is there any way to relax a bot this constraint ? Or is it in place for a good reason ? Any clues about how to fix it on our side ?

Hello,

We do not implement any firewall that would block you from accessing the forums. We do have our set firewalls and a brute force trigger that will block your IP address if you attempt excessive logins with the wrong credentials. This will usually only trigger if you are using a script to attempt brute force access to our services though.
