Hello everyone! Once again, this is your friendly neighborhood site admin. After a long time putting it off, I've finally upgraded the software that runs this site to a new version. I've been avoiding doing it for a while because some of the modules that ran the old version of the site were abandoned and never got upgraded. But it's become unavoidable that I needed to move to a new version so here we are. You may notice some changes like in the forums the author block that normally sits to the left of your forum post isn't formatted like it used to be, etc. That's the kind of stuff that was lost. Functionally, the site (should) more or less work the same as it used to.  There's a bunch of tweaking that I had to do during the upgrade process.  I THINK I caught most of the important stuff, but if you see something that doesn't work right, feel free to reach out to me here by leaving a comment or sending a contact message, or email me directly at michael@platypustheory.com to let me know, and I'll try to get everything fixed.  Now's also a really good time to do feature requests.  If it's reasonable, I'll put it in.

If when you try to reset your password you don't get the email, or you get locked out. Please remember we are keeping your site safe for you. During the change, some usernames became mangled. If you got a username with random letters, in your reset email, instead of your regular user name, there is another option for login. you can now log in with the email address you used to set up your account. Once logged in you will be allowed to change your username back to whatever you desire. If still unable to log in, Please email me at, bigtip.socialstim@gmail.com in the email please include the email address you signed up with here on socialstim, your user name you use here on socialstim, and the password you want to use. I will reset your account manually then you will be able to use it to get inside here with all the cool people.
