Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

Clickteam.

    Please login to see this attachment.We would like to thank Perry for his useful contributions to the Clickteam Community and so have decided to upgrade him to moderator status on the Clickteam Community Forums.

    Moderators are a critical part of Clickteam Community life. They help with user queries, handling spam, writing tutorials and generally keeping things running smoothly. We pick our moderators from our active community members when they show dedication and spend a lot of time helping others. A number of moderators, including myself, have even gone on to become Clickteam staff members over the years - so we really do value the important role that moderators have to play here.

    Congratulations Perry and thanks for all of your hard work!

    [td][tr]Vous le savez certainement tous, Heartbleed, la faille de protection Internet a été en top des news de tous les sites ces dernières semaines. Ces news ont répandu la suspicion sur la sécurité des données du protocole SSL (https), les connections web sécurisées (les connections normales en http ne sont pas concernées).[/tr][/td]

    [td][tr]
    [/tr][/td]

    [td][tr]Cette attaque utilise depuis plusieurs mois, une faille de sécurité du protocole OpenSSL, qui n'a été mise à jour que récemment. Ce protocole (donc en fait, le programme qui gère ce protocole, un programme physique sur le disque dur du serveur) utilise un procédé cryptographique connu pour crypter les communications entre le serveur et l'utilisateur, en l’occurrence le certificat de sécurité. La faille permettait aux hackers d'accéder aux données sensibles stockées dans les bases de données du serveur, comme les noms, les mots de passe et les adresses.[/tr][/td]

    [td][tr]
    [/tr][/td]

    [td][tr]Heureusement nous n'avons aucune trace d'une telle attaque. Nous avons évidemment mis à jour nos serveurs pour corriger le problème, dès que nous le pouvions. Vous pouvez le vérifier ici : Please login to see this link.[/tr][/td]

    [td][tr]
    [/tr][/td]

    [tr][td]L'avis général donné aux utilisateurs ayant un mot de passe et des infos sur un site utilisant OpenSSL tel que le nôtre, est de prendre la précaution de changer son mot de passe, au moins sur le forum Clickteam (qui est sécurisé maintenant). Si vous utilisez le même mot de passe sur d'autres sites, désolé, mais il serait bon de le changer aussi (on ne sait jamais), même si votre nom d'utilisateur est différent (il n'est en général pas difficile pour un pirate de deviner les noms d'utilisateurs en fonction des noms/prénoms des gens). Par exemple si vous avez un compte paypal avec le même mot de passe, changez le.

    [td][tr]As many of you will now be aware, news of the recent HeartBleed bug has rocked the Internet, sparking fears about safety of data over secure SSL (https) web connections (normal http pages are not affected by this issue).[/tr][/td]

    [td][tr]
    [/tr][/td]

    [td][tr]The bug relates to a recently revealed flaw in OpenSSL, a commonly used cryptography system to gain access to data which is supposed to be inaccessible on a web server, namely the security certificates used to ensure that connections over http are protected from eavesdropping. The flaw potentially allowed hackers to gain access to sensitive user and server data, including user names, email addresses and passwords.[/tr][/td]

    [td][tr]
    [/tr][/td]

    [td][tr]Thankfully, there is no evidence that this happened on the Clickteam servers. We have patched our systems to protect against this attack which you can verify here: Please login to see this link.[/tr][/td]

    [td][tr]
    [/tr][/td]

    [td][tr]The general advice being given globally is that users should take the precaution of changing their passwords for any secured services, once the website has updated their systems and certificates. We have done both things so if you wish to follow this advice, please proceed. If you used the same password in other places, it is recommended that you also update it there too.[/tr][/td]

    ClickConvention 2013 is on August 31st - September 1st in Cambridge, UK.

    The event is an opportunity for existing users and new users alike to come together, socialise and show off their creations, and to meet and socialise with the Clickteam staff. This year the convention is being combined with ClickJam (our global game jam) and will be held in Cambridge, UK.

    The tickets cost just £15 which includes buffet lunch on both days! The first 10 people to buy tickets using the code "earlybird" will get a £5 discount - that's just *** £10 *** for a whole weekend of Clickteam goodness... so what are you waiting for??

    Saturday (31st August) will be ClickJam where individuals and groups compete to design a game, based on a theme which will be announced on the day. There will be some great prizes and it's a fantastic opportunity to meet new people and socialise too. Everyone is welcome to come along and work on their own projects too, even if you don't wish to participate in the jam.

    Sunday (1st September) is convention day, starting with Clickteam's François Lionet presenting the latest news, product developments and some exciting not-to-be-missed announcements! Users are also invited to present their own work and projects on the big screen, to Clickteam and other users alike.

    In addition to these main activities, we will have optional social events including an Indian restaurant meal, a visit to one or more of Cambridge's fantastic pubs and, weather permitting, punting on the River Cam! It's a great weekend and a fantastic opportunity to meet new like minded people and make friends.
