Title: Forum up/down
Post by: The Other Dr. Z on February 03, 2021, 12:15:07 PM
Forum may go down now and then today as I install needed security and speed upgrades. I am about ¼ of the way in, this is a pretty rough task.

Update: took an hour of painstaking nasty manual labor but done now and seems to work. Report issues to me?

Keeping a forum running is not an easy task. Thank you for your efforts!

Appreciate your appreciation!

SMF doesn't make many updates, this one is kind of long overdue. Unfortunately it had to be done manually, probably because I made a couple of mods to be PHP 7 compliant. The current version is good for php 7.4 and reportedly php 8.

Thank You for caring!
This was always my preferred forum,
Some years ago, it was not well cared for and became deadly slow.
When it recovered soem yeras (!) later, we had lost 90 % of our regular users.
It was a pity!

Thanks again!
Greetings from Düsseldorf!

You *should* be getting notifications, that one didn't go through? I watched it go out.

FAO The Other DR. Z It would appear that I have 2 accounts, before the platform went down 3/4 yrs back I used TomP now as you can see I use twpoulter. Question is if there are threads under TomP could they be transferred to twpoulter

What happened to the POC Forum?
I have not checked in to the forum for several weeks, when I opened it up this morning I found something completely different from what we had a few weeks ago.. I can't find any of the normal topics. Wm

Hi Wm. After receiving a notification by email I checked in and to me it looks alright again. Not gone into any depth as yet but would be good if you could check in again.
