So, this is what I've been up to
08 Jun 2022, 13:59
Apart from fiddling with my 3D printer, I have been writing some other Forum code This time it is a plugin for Umbraco. It is written in .Net Core which is the latest Microsoft .Net incarnation. It is a very different beast entirely to the older .Net frameworks so lots of learning new stuff and hair pulling along the way It is still a WIP but should be releasing it soon, something else new, I have had to learn how to create NuGet packages.

I'm not gonna lie and say that I understod all of that but I had a quick look and it looks fine so far, with your skills it can obviously be turned into something good. It's also good to see you still learning stuff, my brain feels kind of full these days so I've kind of lost any basic skills I had but I'm still interested and would I'd still take a good forum over FB & so on, so hopefully you'll come up with something even better...looking forward to seeing it

Damp shitty british weather not good for my lungs (Emphysema + Cancer), find it difficult to walk very far at home and struggle to breathe if I go out. Much better here, am now doing 3-4km a day which considering I only managed just under a km when we first got here is a big improvement.
Had an earthquake this morning though which was fun

Spain sounds nice. We have a lot of snow now and it's really cold, getting under -20 the next days . As long as it is warm inside, that's OK. We have to use the wood stove to keep up and we carry a lot of wood inside every day. I like the long dark evenings and the warmth from the stove though.
Why did you need antibiotics and tests? Are you not well?
I'm back in full job now. It’s OK, but a bit tough after over a year in full or partly sick leave. Can't celebrate yet, but I'm optimistic and feel fine .
In the board for the organization where I work, we have a young guy, Bernhard, who is very enthusiastic about the forum. I'm having a meeting with him tomorrow. I hope he can help us move forward with "Spør en biolog"

07 Jan 2024, 09:41
Why did you need antibiotics and tests? Are you not well?
One of my routine scans showed a build up in the bottom of my right lung which they were concerned about, a biopsy came back as negative, so not Cancer coming back, so was put on several courses of strong antiobiotics which they are happy has cleared it up. Wasn't feeling unwell, just takes a long time with not knowing exactly whats up, but all good in the end The .net core migration is coming along nicely it is so much quicker than the current MVC code, now I'm semi-rtired I'm hoping to get it sorted in the next couple of months.
I will however upload the current code to GitHub and post a link here in the next few days, your new guy might want to take a look.

I think the issue maybe that there are two users with the same email address, so it may be getting confused. May need to change it so you provide a username and email address. I will test that emails are being sent especially to gmail as google can be a real pita when it comes to receiving from other mail servers.
HuwR
11 Jan 2024, 08:52
I believe I have worked out the problem, there is an issue in the migration code for Members and it is only creating the new .NET Identity record if you use a valid password, it then fails to find you when you use the forgot password because it didn't create the Identity record However this has highlighted another issue if you have multiple accounts that use the same email address the forgot password process won't know which Member to update, it will also require a username so will need to sort that out too, hopefully I will update the site later today, I will post here if I do so.
HuwR
11 Jan 2024, 14:08
Site code updated, you should now receive an email.
You need to attempt to login first, it will create the new identity user and redirect you to the forgot password page, enter your username and you should now get an email to reset your password. We now have a WYSIWYG editor

I've been keeping an eye on this topic because I've had similar problems to Tor, either the problems have been intermittent or maybe I haven't been consistent, probably the latter though.
I have a working account now, 'Doughnut2'. I tried to bring 'Doughnut' back to life but when I do the forgot password thingy it says that a link has been sent, but I don't get a link...I'm wondering of it's going to an email address that I don't use anymore. Can you tell/see what email address my Doughnut account uses at all?
I am going to a developers conference to collect an award [^]
