ICC Website is offline

I stay logged in. I think Jeff may have made some changes, now when someone new signs up, they have to be approved before they can post. RJJ cited security issues for the site, maybe the forced login is part of it. Dunno.......EDIT: I see Jeff cleared the air while I was posting. FWIW, I don't have a problem with it at all.

ditto, no problem with jar wanting to know who's knocking on his door!
 
I'm surprised it wasn't done earlier. I'm fine with it, although it is a pain that your login times out so fast when you're not actually using the site.
 
Great plan jar. Security is a great excuse, too - it's apparently what took down ICCsafe over the weekend:

ICC said:
Notice to International Code Council Web UsersBased on a security breach with the International Code Council website and with its web mail over the past weekend, the Code Council has shut down website and email access for the remainder of this week as it develops new safeguards. This action prevents staff access to email and to network telephones located in our four area offices.

While no data has been compromised, the Code Council is taking extra steps to make sure its web and email capabilities are strengthened. Data regarding our customers, members and our staff is not accessible via our network and remains secure. Also, for this very reason, the Code Council's policy is to not retain credit card information thus avoiding any security threats. We expect that our systems will be operational no later than Monday, September 20. We apologize for the inconvenience this decision has caused our many members, customers and stakeholders.

The many improvements we have made to our system in the past several months are intact and we will resume our plans to implement the next round of improvements once this issue is resolved.

Any deadlines that would have been effective during this shut down will be extended by the time period of inaccessibility. Messages left on staff voicemail are accessible by staff. We will make every effort to return calls in a prompt manner. Several means of reaching the Code Council remain functional. Please check our temporary website at www.iccsafe.org for updates on this information. Current functional areas include:

  • Charlotte Annual Conference and Final Action Hearings Registration
  • Training and Education: click on ICC Campus
  • Job Postings: click on ICC Job Listings
  • The ICC Foundation
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to address this issue. Due to the security breach, this is unfortunately a one-way communication and we are unable to respond to replies to this email.

We will keep you informed as best as possible via email, Twitter, and Facebook.

Okay, here's the official reason for the website problems.

""Now the ICC people who have been watching this site will have to create a name a log in if they want to see what we are saying."""

we have ways of making you talk
 
This is in the wrong thread. This conserns "this website" not the ICCs.

" You are invisible until you post then people will know you are there or were recently there."

You can't read the posts without joining!

Not my call; but, I don't like it,

Jeff posted in another thread that he put this in place to help weed out the spammers that he is spending so much time weeding out manually. I don't think it should be an issue to register/log in to use the site, no biggy.

Stay logged in.............texasbo, the timing out must be on your end, cuz I never time out..........like someone else said, I'm not even sure what password I used!

View the attached image. Click on the check box - Remember Me? so there is some sort of check mark / X mark then enter your login name and password and then click Login. This way, you will be automatically logged in the moment you get back at the keyboard. At the end of the day, manually click on Log Out.This would make your live in the long run, easier.View attachment 195

I have no issues with the log in to view discussions amongst us. BTW....I have issues with the time out also. If I get long winded ( :) ) with posting something, I get re-directed to log in and then loose the message I just finished. No biggy since the long winded ones are done on word then transfered. Is there a setting to increase one's time out settings?

I don't understand, I have never been logged out on this forum, I set something in Firefox, I don't know what at this point, but I've been logged in forever.
