AMI Trains need a password !?

This site now requires a password. Does anyone know why?

[PikkaBird]

I can't imagine it has anything to do with being "temporarily down for maintenance".

[CS Master12]

AMITrains it does need your ACCOUNT PASSWORD AND USERNAME!

[Walter1940]

Nope. Does not work

[Zakos]

CS Master12, try to visit the page. Before you can even navigate there, it asks you for your password, and my valid password-username combination doesn't work.

It's down for maintenance, so most likely the only users allowed on are the administrators who are working on the maintenance.

Sorry, the site was running an outdated bit of software that was exploited recently. I had to shut the site down until it can be upgraded. Unfortunately, the site basically has to be completely rewritten for that to happen, so I'm not entirely sure what I will do with it. Will try to work on it tonight and come up with some solution.

Sorry for the downtime.

[Zakos]

Time for all of our links to become outdated

That's unfortunate, but thanks for the confirmation.

[orudge]

Hopefully I will be able to preserve as much of the existing content and structure as possible; I need to look into it more though. It's not a trivial change.

You can export the jdownloads, that's the easy bit. I'd say the hardest bit is what you do with the rest... perhaps just put all the downloads somewhere open for all?

[Manesag]

While it probably wont happen, anyone have the download to the Union Pacific Dekosoft Train set and the Provo Utah Scenery file?
I've been wanting to try it again but sites down.

[Zakos]

Well the download link is hosted by the site which is currently down, and sharing the files without permission is a no-no.

Exactly what I thought, Oh well.

[Zakos]

I would check the German site as well, though I doubt they have any of the DK mods.

[Walter1940]

No, the DK by the sets from NilsTV stands for the country Denmark. This has nothing to do with Dekosoft. Plasicman has chosen only a unfortunate beginning its file name. And on the German side there is no such packages. Only on AMI Trains

Oops, sorry, I forgot about this. Was busy redecorating for a week and then we were in Disneyland Paris. I'll see what I can do with this tomorrow night. The site will be simplified (all existing content will still be available though), and downloads will be made available to all - no registration/donation necessary. Thanks to those involved for agreeing to this.

[Rodmorg]

Hi, I'm new to this. I used to regularly visit the site years ago. Great to hear things are still around since CS Locomotion came out 10 years ago... Long time.

[orudge]

I have started work on the new AMI Trains site, but it may take a bit longer than I'd hoped. Until then, I've put up a temporary "holding page" at www.amitrains.co.uk. The downloads can be found there, although not presented very nicely! I hope to have something more useful up soon.

Thanks Owen.

So........amitrains.co.uk account has been suspended. This is bad news. Hope it's fixed soon.
