    Is anyone else running into issues reading previous posts on FUNDSVCS?  I am able to search the posts but when I click into them, I got a page error.

    This might have something to do with the transition to a new platform aasp is using since just last week. However, I just clicked on a few and had no difficulty. If you are not logged into aaspConnect that could be the problem. There is a double login process (see the notice on the aaspConnect website). If you continue to experience difficulties, email aaspadmin@advserv.org

    Courtney, did you see my email from yesterday to the group? I'm re-posting here:

    Since the Feb 2 announcement of the AASP switchover to SBI Association Management, (and the inherent platform changes) I've had a devil of a time getting my account(s) straightened out. I thought I'd post some tips that may be helpful for those in the same boat.

    If you use a password manager for your online accounts (and you should), it typically operates by filling in your credentials based upon the domain name you're visiting. After you've created a new password for the main AASP website, set that entry in your password manager to be recognized when visiting the following four domains:
    Additionally, if you visit the AASP Connect archives to search for previously-posted content in any of the mailing lists, you'll find that your search terms will yield results, however clicking on said results will provide a broken link to the archived discussion thread, e.g., can't open the page "https://connect.advserv.org/communities/[...]. Click or tap if you trust this link." data-linkindex="4" style="margin: 0; color: #0000FF; text-decoration: underline">connect.advserv.org/communities/[...]"

    To fix this error (and assuming it's temporary until all platforms are completely switched over and domain redirects are in place), simply change the domain of the archive's discussion thread URL from https://connect.advserv.org/. Click or tap if you trust this link." data-linkindex="5" style="margin: 0; color: #0000FF; text-decoration: underline">https://connect.advserv.org to https://aasp.connectedcommunity.org/. Click or tap if you trust this link." data-linkindex="6" style="margin: 0; color: #0000FF; text-decoration: underline">https://aasp.connectedcommunity.org instead. Voila, the archive will correctly display.
