Problems with the login in the forum

There is a new website layout and the login wants now an EMail / password combination. and mine didn't work. Though I put correctly. Anyhow I managed to get in somehow to post this: I logged in with German language where the old layout and login with username / password still is working.
One more problem is, that once I switch to the English version I cannot switch back to other languages.
Would be great to keep access to the forum after 16 years now and fix these issues quickly. ;-)
Will there be at last a possibility to upload pictures in the forum?

Thank You for your hard work on this Tonny

Tonny - is the site login the same as what our email subscription is? I can't seem to get it to work and am wondering whether we should register as a new user.

Yes Anthony, that's what Tonny wrote in reply to my question:

Tilo, there is a difference now , the website has a login , but it is different from the login from the forum. Go to the forum and you can login like you used to do this.
Uploading pictures on the forum was the very first thing on our wishlist. Be patient for some more time, things are moving as you see.[/QUOTE]
So for the website there is a different login.
But what can I do more with it?
I will try of course.
Just a little strange that the current login, that I use for 16 years now, doesn't work and I need 2 logins for 1 website. Not perfect, but OK.

I managed to be logged into the forum with my new IWC account and not with my forum account. So it's different what you see. Poooh!
Navigation inside the forum is still very hacking and tricky. You still have to use your Browser's "Back" button.

One more question concerning this:
What is a "Residence Label"?
I couldn't sign up without that.
Is it something American?
IWC is still a Swiss company, right? ;-)

I have my bookmark link directly to the forum, I can sign in with my former userid/password. The funny part is, that I don't need a second userid/password to see the rest of the content of the forum: single-sign-on out of the forum?

By the way, I hope the definitive website will look better than what I see now, it really looks a bit poor.

Kind regards,
Paul

Cheers Tonny. Appreciate you following up on this and the dev team's response.

Tilo - re: my question above... I was wondering whether the site login was the same as the email subscription address I used initially to receive email updates. I understood there were two separate logins required - but was wondering whether I should try to enter my email subscription account or create a new one. I ended up creating a new user account. All good. :-)

Thanks for the info and additional login

One more question:
Will the forum software be reworked too?
[ul]
[li]Load up pictures[/li]
[li]Navigate without the browser's back button and reload all the pages and then navigate again to where you were before[/li]
[li]Load speed: Probably would be better to use AJAX instead of reloading the complete forum page each time?[/li]
[/ul]

Would be great, Tonny, to see the forum facing modern times again. Because it's still the most unique place in the world to talk IWC and meet likeminded IWC nuts and friends.
If I can provide some input, let me know please.
