I know this isn't a problem/solution request, but I was hoping it might meet the larger number of people on the forums, and that it can be spread to the admins, etc..

I personally would like to extend a BIG thank you to everyone involved in the recent issues, and for their great patience in trying to help everyone like me who messed up this log in thing.

So, perhaps this will get moved somewhere, but how about everyone giving all the fine people at the forums a BIG THANK YOU!!

agreed. Folks expecting perfection after a incident on a free service are just not realistic. Lets see if the username situation has a fix that can be worked. We all hope for it, but if it can't happen we'll manage

BIG THANK YOU!

I noticed Megatera that you gave thanks to Elfy in your Resolution Center Thread.

I agree with you, Elfy particularly yesterday (as well as other mods of course) worked tirelessly to help out those in trouble. We are indeed lucky to have such a helpful team. - :D

Agreed, thanks to those who undoubtedly logged many hours toiling and testing and toiling to get the forums back online. \\:D/

Especially their patience! That's just amazing.

(Plus the forums are much quicker after coming back online.)

Yes, and providing the links to the Discourse and Reddit groups in the interim was a very good show. Nicely done, all.

I too, should like to express a big THANK YOU to all Admins, Moderators and everybody else who was involved in resolving the forum issues. It is good to have the forums back - I have already found the answer to a problem that arose whilst the forums were down!

Yes! I want to say thank you! Yay! I got my account back! Elfy is awesome! I know it took forever, but. I suppose congratulations are also in order, for getting the forums back online - WITH ALL OF THE HISTORY, PAST THREADS, AND UNTOLD THOUSANDS OF VALUABLE PIECES OF ADVICE - AND OUR ACCOUNTS. They could have just abandoned all of that old stuff in the forums and said, "to heck with all of that. Let's just start a new forums." But it seems like they got it all back.

Again, Thank you.

Yep, if it wasn't for the threads on the forums in discourse, I wouldn't have had the knowledge of what the SSO login would be and like others would have creates a new user by accident.
Luckily, Coffeecat's post in the "Logging into the forums (http://ubuntu-discourse.org/t/logging-into-ubuntuforums/840/9)" thread there gave me ample time to adjust my own U1 account to work right.

Yes, that was wonderfully helpful. All of the things mentioned are why Ubuntu is a sterling OS and the Ubuntu support teams are priceless.

To thank all the mods for their tireless work in restoring the forums, I'll chuck on a couple of shrimps on the barby, and fill the esky with a few cold ones. Now it is time to relax!

Yeah, me too! I haven't seen such patience anywhere before, they're fantastic. It hurts me to read the posts where they're being BLAMED! "Turning the other cheek" is what we see going on here and it's beautiful.

Heck yeah, Thanks everyone! (except the silly fools 'responsible' for what happened in the first place). lol
You know the dude who hacked it.. how he said.. "You dun goofed, it's as simple as that" ?
Whoever the ones who "goofed" are, is who I mean. lol :P
But everyone else responsible for getting things taken care of.. Thank you! :D
No issues getting back here for me, which pretty much rocks. :) Thumbs up doods. <3

Yes...Indeed. I PM'ed Elfy who sorted me out in abt 1 hour - I was pondering how much sleep he's had in the last few days?

Cheers to Elfy and all others who have spent a lot of time and effort sorting this out.

Yep. A big 'thankyou' from me too.

I left it a while before trying to re register, found out that i already had an existing blahblahblah with the chosen email addy, reset the password on U1 (which i don't actually use), and everything went just fine and dandy.

I was apprehensive about coming back after reading all the problems folk had trying to get back on here, but I had no problems at all :D

So thank you to all concerned!

Ubuntu forums are not perfect but I am grateful they are running again.

Thank you to everyone who had to deal with restoring the forums.

It took a while to get the forums back up but the updates regarding the process were nice.
I'm very thankful to those who helped getting the site back on its feet and I'm happy to be back with a fresh, new account.
