Missing member profile pictures
Wild Apricot experienced a critical file server malfunction on July 6th, 2015 which required us to switch from our primary server to our backup server in order to maintain continuity.
To give you some background, we have two file servers that are being synchronized automatically on a daily basis - the primary server and the backup server.
When the primary server went offline, the synchronization was stopped as the primary server was no longer available.
Unfortunately due to a human error, one application that is responsible for storing and loading member profile pictures was left pointed to the primary server…

Problem with automatic recurring payments
We have discovered a problem with automatic recurring payments - after 4.2 upgrade Wild Apricot is not correctly processing payment notifications we receive from payment gateways. Thus, membership records with automatic recurring payments are not properly renewed even though the payment was successfully charged by your payment processor.
We are working on this problem, our current best guess is that it will be resolved tomorrow, May 19th.
For now, we advise to manually check all member records which were supposed to be renewed automatically but did not - check your merchant account and if payment was received, adjust the renewal…

Blank admin view
We have received several reports today about administrators not being able to access the backend view of their Wild Apricot accounts. So far it sounds this is happening for them on Windows 7, using both Internet Explorer and Chrome browsers. We can not reproduce the problem in our own tests - it works fine for us.
We have escalated this problem to our development team and investigating this with top priority - and will post updates here.

Recent antivirus updates for BitDefender and others might render Wild Apricot editor inoperable
A number of clients have reported to use problems with editing web pages / using Wild Apricot online editor in other places, e.g. edit event description, forum topic text.
Our investigation indicates that something in the recent updates of antivirus software is interfering with our editor. We have now reproduced the problem with BitDefender and some clients reported that Kaspersky and other antivirus software might be causing this as well.
In our tests, even disabling all antivirus options did not solve the problem - only fully uninstalling the antivirus restored Wild Apricot functionality.
We are working trying to figure out…

Problem with pictures in emails linked via absolute URLs
When you create an email and insert pictures via Wild Apricot website editor, it inserts it via so-called relative link in your email HTML code, e.g.
...img src="/Resources/Pictures/logo.gif"...
(It's called relative because it does not include your website domain)
However, if links to pictures are inserted in a different way - e.g. by manually editing HTML code, they might use 'absolute links', e.g. ...img src="www.mysite.org/Resources/Pictures/logo.gif"...
There is currently a problem with these absolute links to images - they get broken when email is sent out. We are working on it and expect it to be fixed on May…
