Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode).

New BT Accounts?

Post by boney »

Hey Cass (or Greg, or other mods I don't know about), a few people over on BA have mentioned trying to get Bar Towel accounts up and running but are experiencing quite a delay. Can you shed any light on the process? Getting inundated by spambots? Sorry if this issue has been addressed in another thread in the past and I just can't find it. Thanks!

The site gets hammered by spambots and I haven't found the time to upgrade the software (if any code savvy beer fans would like to help, I would be most appreciative).

The easiest thing to do is email me with a username and I'll set up an account. If you want to relay that they can email bartowel@gmail.com I'll get them set up asap.

bbphp is down because of a cyber attack right now anyway, so you probably don't want to attempt the upgrade off of our lovely 2002-era software until they're back up. I'm slammed at work right now, but if nobody else does first when things calm down in a couple of weeks I can probably help you out.
