I tried to access the status link (https://forum.blitzortung.org/showthread.php?tid=2699&pid=19028&highlight=Machine+room#pid19028) but I am told that I don't have permissions to access that page or my account may need activation (again?).

It's a bit frustrating though, after many months of waiting for my Blue kit, building it and getting it working, only to find my data is currently being ignored. ;-)  And this Friday we are expecting thunderstorm here in the UK. It would be nice to see my green dot appearing for real.

I guess we will all have to be patient until the database recovery is complete.

It would be helpful if there was a status page on the user-only part of the website that kept us informed of current status and then, maybe, we wouldn't be posting our frustrations here.

Understand... more than you might imagine...  Especially since this affects may of the newer systems... all we can ask is patience at this point. In the meantime, even us 'older timers' with multiple systems etc feel and understand...

You cannot access those restricted links because the security does NOT recognized your status... unfortunately,... and that absolutely needs to be resolved, but it's all related...
The status links are also susceptible to change or availability  as they fiasco is explored...

Thanks for your comments. I'm a patient guy and also a retired IT consultant so I know what a mess a database fault can be.  In the meantime I have mounted my ferrite rods outside and I am now building the E sensor.  

Dec 5th 2018: Update. My station is now appearing on http://en.blitzortung.org/live_lightning_maps.php ok but not on https://www.lightningmaps.org. I have no idea what the relationship is between the two sites. I am sure the database problem is not yet 100% fixed and that is the reason.

I am aware of the problems of the server in theses last days.

I have the station 2280. It's working fine. 
All the other stations here in Portugal are now already in the Stations list, but mine is still missing.

Do i need to do something to solve this? Or the server itsel will correct this?

Thank you!
