The Fighting 69th Infantry Division - A DOD Family

Presidential election

Who do you think is going to win the election? If we discuss it, let's keep it civil. :) We have a variety of political leanings and beliefs here which can live peacefully together. If it gets out of hand I'll pull it.

69th Downloads

I have activated the downloads section here on the website. This allows registered users to download files and also to point to files online to add to the downloads.

If you have a file that you would like us to host for download, contact me at desertfox[AT]thefighting69thid.com. (Replace [AT] with @)
with details of where to get the file and I will put it up on our server.

We currently accept files that are content generated by our members (stories, graphics, movies, etc.) or files that are related to gaming such as tweaks, crosshair packs, sprite packs, sound packs, etc.

All new downloads are verified before putting them up to make sure they are available. However, we cannot verify that all downloads that are hosted somewhere else are virus free. Download at your own risk and make sure to scan the files for your own safety!

Unfortunately, the download system as is, makes the categories hard to read when uploading. Just make sure you get it in a category that looks generally right, give it a good description and I'll get it into the right category when it is approved.

I think it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyhow. Absolutely nothing obscene is to be submitted. Violate that and your download privileges will be revoked. :)

ATTENTION! Anyone having trouble logging in

I have received reports that a small number of people have had trouble logging in after the move to the new domain. If you have this problem do the following:

When your login attempt fails:
1) Click on forgot password.
2) Enter your nickname and click Send Password
3) Check your email and get the confirmation code
4) Go back to the forgot password form and enter your nickname and the confirmation code.
5) You will receive a new password to login with.

If for some reason this does not work for you, send an email to desertfox[AT]thefighting69thid.com. (Replace [AT] with @)

Blessings,
Fred

New domain active!

OK! I had some time tonight so I went ahead while everyone else (except Mario and Az probably) was sleeping and moved us over to the new domain. Everything should be working smoothly with no loss of data.

If you find anything out of the ordinary, please let me know ASAP.

I'll be working over the next couple weeks to setup email address for all 69th members. I will let everyone know when they are setup and how you can access them.

Don't forget to update your bookmarks and to tell your friends! (The old site will continue to redirect people here forever and ever. Well, for a long time anyhow.

Blessings to all,
Fred

New domain name!

We have setup a new domain and will be moving the site there sometime over the next week or so. In order to make sure the move will be as seamless as possible this will mean taking the existing forums offline for possibly a few hours so that we don't lose any information while we are making the move.

This move will give us better reliability, much better file storage so we can more easily host files, the ability to give each member an email address (membername@thefighting69thid.com) and will give us more room in general to grow.

Thanks to Malone for getting the domain setup. The domain is http://www.thefighting69thid.com.

We'll keep you informed.

New Dark Theme Available

There is a new theme available for those who prefer a darker look. Go to Your Account, click on Themes and select 69thDark as the theme. I am still working out getting that theme into the forums properly. See my post in the forums for more information.

I am looking for suggestions on the dark color scheme. I put this together fairly quickly and could use your help! :)

We have a new website!

Here it is, the new website. What do you think of it?
