Due to an unexpected server error, we had to upgrade the VEKN website to a newer version, and pieces are currently being put back together.
This will take some time, so in the meantime, you can use the forum. I'm sure you've all been as frustrated as me not to be able to use the forum and the website.

The avatars and instant messagerie haven't been restored yet. You can upload new avatars in the meantime.

Thanks for your hard work! I'm glad that you were able to keep all the threads on the forums!

I also host a google doc which separates the TWDA into clans . That means I track how often clans win, which crypt groups get used, and how many people attend events. You can access all of that info here:
There has been quite a lot of time-outs when trying to access these forums this weekend. I hope this is simply due to you doing work on the site, rather than a permanent problem.

yes, thanks for hard work. is there a way to get VEKN number somehow ? other than simply be patient and wait for full restoration, of course (which is only possible if you can actually afford to wait for prayer time, which can be quite an issue when one messes with official material, right. but probably only one guy can understand me now).

Like purging old messages?
In the meantime, here's the player registry under the CSV format:
www.vekn.net/images/stories/downloads/vekn_registry.zip
www.vekn.net/images/stories/downloads/vekn_registry_alt.zip
Both files have the same content, but one uses the comma (,) and the other the semi-colon (;). Any Excel program should be able to open at least one of the two depending on your language, that's why I provided both.

Are we close to getting the old website back or something that is a similar format? It feels like the game died overnight.

It felt like we couldn't talk to each other initially, now its just not as much talk, possibly due to forum navigation/site navigation issues.
People dislike change. Change bad. Fire good. Imbued cheesy. Etc...
My only issues since we got back up is having to scroll several feet of text to get to forums, and no time/date on posts.
So far, I've survived.

The second point has been fixed.

Any way to allow the current look to be kept, either as default or as a selectable option? Quite prefer it to the hard to read black and red of previous

I sort of like it as well. I have one question though:
Any way to switch off the automatic subscription to threads you post? I mean I know I can tick off the subscription box, but I'd prefer if it defaulted to "off".

It has been disabled by default recently. It shouldn't be ticked automatically anymore.

Is there any news on the restoration of the site?

I'm sure that the holiday season is slowing down efforts to restore the site. That having been said, I think that the longer the site is down, the worse it is for the community. I'm more than happy to put some time into the site (I'm decent at HTML5, and quite proficient with Wordpress), assuming that there is anything I can do to help.

I also host a google doc which separates the TWDA into clans . That means I track how often clans win, which crypt groups get used, and how many people attend events. You can access all of that info here:

As you can see, most of the content have been restored and are available through the menus.

Sadly, I'm not familiar with Joomla. But if I can help in any other way, please feel free to call on me. And thanks for your efforts - I'm sure it's a major pain in the ass to put this all back together, just know that the community really appreciates it!

i have some skill you might use... it's already few years but i have created 2 pages using joomla. so if you need any help with some dumb groundwork don't hesitate to ask
(i have forced PTO now and quite bored sitting at home...)

Did u saw one today?
The links on the main page (for the expansion sets) doesn´t work for me. Using google chrome.
Overkill is highly underrated. You know, like in computor games and such.
It would be helpful if the old functionality of not having to have "index.php" in the URL could be restored - which was, I presume, being done by an Apache rewrite rule or similar.
Currently, quite a few links into the site from Google link to the version of the URL without index.php and get 404s. e.g. I can find links to:
www.vekn.net/forum/6-rules-questions/16699-momentums-edge--gambit-accepted
www.vekn.net/forum/7-deck-clinic/4220-deck-mashup-3rd-ed-tzimisce-starters
www.vekn.net/forum/9-event-reports-and-twd/9614-hunger-moon-atlanta-mini-report
(And more.) All of these used to work, and all of which do work if you shove "index.php/" in between www.vekn.net/ and forum/
While search engines will eventually sort themselves out and stop linking to old links, in the meantime it looks more than a little unhelpful to anyone who happens to get one of the URLs that used to work in their search results.
The new colour scheme is a 100% improvement, please keep it. Password reset request now seem to work too. Fabulous.
I might log in more.

So, while on a computer that's not mine, I looked at the site in IE10 (10.0.9200.17607). It's... probably not what you want.
(With apologies for any little glitches introduced by this not being my computer I'm using, so I get to use Paint.)

I've spend some time figuring out Joomla, and would be happy to help with the reconstruction of the site, or anything else the VEKN might need. Do feel free to call on me.
