Forum had some problems
« on: August 15, 2017, 10:44:26 PM »

Absolutely no bloody idea what happened. Tried a bunch of things and upgrading PHP solved the issue for now.

May have to try the upgrade to SMF 2.x sometime soon. Last time that did not work out so well. Backups are flowing, so we should be good to try again. This time the proper goat sacrifices will be made. Pigeons apparently did not cut it last time.

Some issues are still ongoing but basic functionality is restored. Working on it still. Hence potential emergency upgrade to SMF 2.x

Yeah, I know RevDisk is offensive, and says a lot of objectionable stuff, and he's not even a real conservative - but he's the only one that can make APS great again.

Same here.  Login doesn't work correctly, no avatars, and the green bar of nothing is still present.

Same here. Had to log in again, even though I didn't log off. And posting still brings me to a blank, white screen when I hit "Post"

At least some functionality is restored. I can post from a computer again- before it was only Tapatalk.

I had to relogin this morning, but it worked, at least, unlike for other people.  I can see all the avatars of the people who say they can't see theirs, so take that for what it's worth.

Aside from the porn links still hanging around, most things seem to be functioning normally.

I'm having to log in every time I visit.

I'm still getting blank pages after posting.

I'm still getting random, weird errors.

Check that. I'm now getting regular page loads after posting.

So that's on the mend.

Was forcibly logged out yesterday, and not able to log in.  Am in now.

And it looks like quoting works.  No "session error".  And I see my profile pic.

Maybe that would explain the porn links that Fisty complained of.

...icle.

Hey! It worked! No BSoN! The GBoN is still there and I had to login when I started this session though. I CAN see the avatars.

NOTE: I'm finally fully on the new HP Notebook and liking it. It's lighter but has more RAM, 8 gig, and 2.25x bigger HD (2TB up from .75TB).
