Cindy Evanier Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 Never mind, found it and get the same message
Qie Niangao Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 Not sure what's supposed to be behind that door, but it's locked for me, too. For those wanting to play along at home, here's the page URL: Security and Privacy 1

MirandaBowers Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 I don't think I ever would have found that bug if you didn't mention it

Zack Massiel Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 It's part of Invision Power Board's settings. One is to hide your online status on the website, which isn't a huge deal on here, the other IIRC is for two step verification if it was enabled on the forums.
Zack Massiel Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) This is what it looks like (if it was enabled and you could access those options) Note: this is on an IPB site I operate, it is not on this site. Edited September 20, 2020 by Zack Massiel 2

Just remember this is on my website that has the IPB software this is in no way saying they are going to put google authenticator or any other type of two factor on here I actually don't have google authenticator enabled on my site, I just did it for the picture hehe. 1

Kimmi Zehetbauer Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 After my last comments my man said it was the mboard software and something new they added on the update. Ewwww Google Authenticator. I hate something needs to use a smart phone to work. One of my vendors for my bar has 2FA for the ordering system. It requires the Google thing and since I'm one of 11 people on the planet without a smart phone, couldn't do it. After calling them they set it up so I could order the old way, but only until end of the year. I have since found a new vendor.
Chaser Zaks Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) That page was intentionally disabled. The way Second Life's Forums work is that it pulls data from data server into the forums when you log in. So that page is disabled, along with other pages such as email settings, password settings, etc. The reason for this, is because whenever you log into the forums, those settings will be overwritten with the data from the data server(account wide settings). IIRC, links there used to redirect to some page at https://secondlife.com/my/, but I think the recent forum update killed that modification. Edited September 21, 2020 by Chaser Zaks

Hitting the E-mail Address setting category still redirects to the main, Linden Lab relevant page.
Lindal Kidd Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 The revision of the Forum's look seems to have had a number of Unintended Consequences. I now get a "page does not exist" error from several links, and the "security and privacy" option on the Profile Settings page is not the only one that's unconnected to anything rational. Trying "email address" took me to my Account Overview page!
