Well, digitsmith is ruined...

A "refresh"...

Removed the search function (WTAF??)

Fixed it when it wasn't broken.

There were some pretty bad security vulnerabilities, but the new blog style can go eff itself.

They removed all ability to get to user controls, searching, message function, etc.

You can get to your original user page if you use the direct URL:    digitsmith.com/users/*your_username_here*


Other than that, its gutted.

I think they changed forum software to open source like nodebb or flarum with not great support. They were running a really old version of vbulletin with overwhelming ads. My site is using current vbulletin.  This a good site with industry know how. congrats.

All they needed was a SSL certificate. They didn't have to go effing things up. Maybe an opportunity for TSB? Could drive more traffic here, who knows.
