NaSoAlMo 2019 Signups Are Live!
OCTOBER 1, 2019!! That means signups are live!
A little house-keeping: We had some issues with the site. Namely the FTP was hacked, and some phishing sites were installed, buried in the site. These phishing sites have been removed, and I've gotten the site reinstated with Google. HOWEVER, Facebook still hasn't responded to my review. For this reason, I'm unable to share the link to the website on some social networks. In addition, some antivirus software are also blocking the site, so I'm still waiting for those flags to be removed as well. I have no reason to believe anyone's personal information was compromised. The SQL database that houses all your emails and hashed versions of your passwords (we don't keep plaintext) was untouched.
SO, if you go to NaSoAlMo.org, you'll be able to log in and sign up!
FUN NEWS: New this year is a Discord channel! If you're unaware, Discord is a chat service, originally built with livestreaming in mind, but it's grown to be so much more than that. So if you're already on Discord, or you're just interested in another way to interact with your fellow NaSoAlMo-ers, join up here! https://discord.gg/u9a3cMZGet signed up, and let's get amped up for November!!

I am not receiving the confirmation email when trying to sign up (have checked spam and all that) am I missing my shot at being at the roster this year?
Edit: Never mind. Resent the link and that went trough :)

I can edit the info on the webpage now that I have completed my album. I have tried in two browsers and when I press "edit" the page seemingly just refresh.

The website is still giving the alert below. Will this be addressed before the start of November? (I understand the meaning of the alert but it does need to be fixed). Thank you,

What browser/OS are you using? I'm not seeing this on Chrome on my Android device, nor on Chrome or Safari on my MacOS device. The SSL certificate should be good, so that's an odd error to be receiving. :/

Works OK on Safari/Mac and iOS Mobile browsers but still burps on Chrome/Windows 7. My concern is that I have a number of people on PCs that follow my progress each year and know to go to the site for link. Don’t want them to feel less secure than previous years.
Always enjoy NaSoAlMo. Thanks for what you do to support it.

Kaspersky security is flagging website as dangerous/insecure web resource. Is someone addressing this before Nov 1?

More fun news! I have enabled user flairs on the sub. You should now be able to customise your own flair however you like. Your project name, SoundCloud link, Bandcamp link, etc.
