Dickw Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I can't get on their main site either - Win 10/Firefox or Android phone. No problem with ASRC site or NFC Buckminster site. Dick ps just tried Win 10/Chrome and antivirus stops access. Edited By Dickw on 19/09/2018 16:30:14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Tee Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Got an email today saying they are updating the portal on Sunday so may not be available for a few days. perhaps they are doing a dry run John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Sharples Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 No prob with me, Windows 10 and Firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickw Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 OK - several hours have passed without success. Systems I have tried so far:- Win 10 & Firefox; Win 10 & Chrome; Android & Chrome; Android & Samsung internet - 1 laptop and 2 different Android devices. Same result on all of them - I can get any other site, including BMFA Achievement Scheme and BMFA National Centre, but not BMFA main site. From mine and others results it's obviously not a device or browser issue, so it's beginning to look like an individual access/login issue. I'll give them a call in the morning.

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I had problems yesterday using Chrome on my iPad although I can access the site from all devices today. As I recall, the message was a configuration error by the website provider. This might have some bearing on the matter: New Membership Management System We will be launching our new membership management system provided by Go Membership during the week beginning 24th September. From Sunday 23rd September you will be unable to register on the BMFA website, however existing website login details will remain active so you will still have access to the classifieds and any other website features that require you to login. Maybe some work in preparation for the migration has broken something? Edited By Martin Harris on 19/09/2018 23:33:22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickw Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Posted by Ikura on 20/09/2018 10:10:13: The BMFA website is working fine. Here is the correct address: https://www.bmfa.org Edited By Ikura on 20/09/2018 10:10:27 Yes, we know the BMFA website is working "fine" for probably most people, it's just that some of us don't seem to be able to get to it. Just tried your quoted address on both Win and Android devices - same result - no access. (some of the devices are not even mine, so it's not something I have done) Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Cracknell Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 "The BMFA website is working fine." No, it isn't..!! I have just tried the above address, same result. I am using W8.1 and have tried in both Chrome and IE and on my Galaxy S6 Android In fact IE brought up a page which said BMFA.org has only just been registered. Has anyone spoken to the BMFA....?

Denis Watkins Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Have been on to the site this last half hour using the Club Finder and Achievements Downloads Also signed in to Account just to test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickw Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Something happening at last. Tried again a few minutes ago and got the main site OK, but this time couldn't get the Nation Centre site and Acheivement Scheme site which have been OK up until now. Waited a few more minutes, and now I can get all three again. Since there is some work going on this weekend I guess it must be linked to that and was only a temporary blip.

Andy Symons - BMFA Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Should be ok now. Nothing to do with the new upcoming membership system which is hosted separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
