[App_rpt-users] New AllStar Portal - A work in Progress

[Tim Sawyer]

We've been working on a new AllStar portal. The goal is to eventually
replace the original allstarlink.org with a modern, secure, better looking
and more usable site. It 's not going very fast but there has been
progress. Just to update everybody, here's what's on the new portal so far.

   - The site has moved to a faster server with better access to the
   database. The new location is https://web-tpa.allstarlink.org/.
   - It has a much better nodes list over the original. It has sort,
   filter, pagination and links to the stats pages.
   - There a new sign up page to register with AllStar. It has a much
   friendlier form and should assure more accurate input.
   - There is a password reset page. BTW, your login and password are the
   same as on the original allstarlink site as it's accessing the same
   database.
   - A new feature the original site doesn't have to change your callsign.
   This is much easier for you as well as admins which should get these
   completed faster. If you request a callsign change by email (the old way)
   you'll probably be asked to use the new site for your request.
   - All of the normal admin functions have been performed on this site for
   nearly a year. You won't see these unless you are an admin.
   - Works much better on mobile devices using 'mobile first' coding
   methods.
   - Secure login Cookie with longer expiration.
   - No more Flash. Yeah!

Please use this new site when you can. We think you'll really like the new
nodes list. Let us know if you find any bugs, typos, spelling errors,
unclear wording, etc. You could even let us know if you like it :-)

PS. The site is coded in HTML 5 using Twitter Bootstrap, jQuery, pdo, jwt
and other web developer geek alphabet soup.

PPS. Don't forget we have a new WiKi as well https://wiki.allstarlink.org/
