I've seen Punaweb has been down for some time and that they need to update outdated software. There's mention of a donation link to help fund this uodate, however the link isn't visible. Does anyone have the ability to contact Rob and 1) let him know the donation link isn't showing (on ipad at least), and 2) what's the status of the update?

There is no link to donate - and it looks like it will take "some more time"

"Sorry it has taken so long. We have determined that the damage to Punatalk, and it's aged software, make reviving it as it was impractical.

Punatalk will return with an up to date forum platform, and, it is going to take some more time. Transferring the archival posts will cost several hundred dollars, and, I want to keep the history intact.

Anyone who values Punatalk is invited to donate using the button below. Any assistance is appreciated. All donations will go directly to migrating Punatalk forum to its new platform.

Mahalo to all and I hope you are safe and well.

- Rob Tucker


Thank you! With your support we are moving forward. A new forum soon!

Update: The new punaweb forum may be up as early as this weekend, with migrating the archives (old posts) taking longer.

------------

I've been in email contact with Rob. The forum will be up soon. There was a donation button, but it is apparently no longer needed.

There's a '404 Error. Link not found' on their old URL. It used to have a message of 'not available, we've been hacked' but that's gone now.

Something must have changed since you tried. This is what it shows now. Interesting that he mentions some have already found the new site. I tried but have not been successful.

Punatalk.org although it is "coming soon"

They may not be it though - it is associated with Hodson Hawaii and recently created

The "new site" is:

punaweb.org/forum/

It's in testing mode.

Ah, I must have checked while they were changing the initial "index.html" file or some such. I see the 'coming soon' message now.

The site is up/functional even if the splash page is clunky.

In order to use the forum you have to go to punaweb.org/forum/

My login credentials didn't work (would not accept my password) but I was able to go through the "forgot password" process and reset it. It did require access to the same email account I used when signing up with PW. A few of us have figured this out and have posted there.
