Website in Read-Only Mode Due to Upgrade in Preparation For Alpha 1 Release
The redesigned Haiku website
In preparation for the upcoming Haiku R1 Alpha 1 release, we are working on a Drupal upgrade and a redesign of the Haiku website. As a result, haiku-os.org is scheduled to operate in read-only mode from approximately September 9th at 17:00 through the 14th at 00:00AM (UTC). During this time, no major outages are expected and the website will be online for the most part, but the following operations will be disabled:
- Creating new accounts
- Editing existing accounts
- Posting new content (to forums, blogs, documents, etc.)
- Editing any existing content
- Posting new comments or editing existing ones
The upgraded website is scheduled to be fully operational in time for the Alpha 1 release date. Until then, please use the mailing lists or our IRC channels as means of communication with the community. Our bug reporting tool http://dev.haiku-os.org is unaffected, and will continue to operate as usual.

Since the upgrade I have been unable to comment on any bug in trac or create any new bug. There is no link anymore to quote from a previous comment. If I go to create a new bug I get this:
Warning:
Error: Forbidden
TICKET_CREATE privileges are required to perform this operation
I have not heard of TICKET_CREATE priviledges. Is this something new? Using the same account I could create tickets previously.
I am logged in when trying to create tickets or comment.
Does it still apply that a separate account is needed for both trac and the community, creating threads or comments. I have a different login name for each but changed to the same password for both.

I think the problem is solved now. I changed my email address at the same time as the changes to the website. I missed the verification email because I made a typo with the new email address. I have just corrected it. A new verification email was sent and I clicked the link in it, so I should be alright now.
