I'm a TUG member. Whenever I click on a Kauai resort review, I get a message saying "www.tug2.com not found". This doesn't happen on any other islands, just Kauai.

Reviews are not a bulletin board issue, so I'm moving this to TUG General.

I'm getting the same error when trying to access www.tug2.com. I believe this is the domain in which the new review system is housed. An online check at networksolutions.com shows our lease of this domain name has many months to run yet, so it appears to be an error in the DNS system. This is an internet management issue, not something we can control.

Thanks for the heads up. I've alerted Bill Rogers to this for him to follow up on.

[Edit] I think if you look closer, you'll find it is not Kauai reviews per se which are inaccessible, but those resorts that have received reviews since we switched to the new review system.

I'm currently unable to access either the old or new databases.

The original review database entry point, available via the link in the red bar at the top of this page, is not located on the new server so is still available. Any of the individual reviews from before June 1 that have not been physically moved into the new database should still be available. Here's an example:

Hmmmm....I guess I'm looking at the right database, but didn't think I was, because one of my reviews from 2004 at the Marriott Waiohai isn't there anymore. So...I had been assuming I was looking at the new database.

Yup.

I have updated one of the reviews on the new database so that is definitely OK at present.

reviews access

I've been frustrated since the new TUG site opened! I keep trying to enter the reviews site and I'm continually locked out. I checked and rechecked my registration, password, etc. but nothing works. As a member for some time I feel exasperated. What to do?

You have to use the members only log-in and password to access the reviews. They are different than your regular log-in. More info. - Password Help

Members are still having problems setting themselves up as 'Members' once they have paid their dues. I know there are various Help texts on the system, but they plainly don't work all the time. I think a Dummies Guide to setting up the membership password might help, particularly if the guide was part of the e-mail sent to new members.

Access to the reviews and ratings was not changed in any way by the change in software used for the bbs. The username and password used for reviews and ratings is the same as it's always been.

Please see the password help page at:
