Forums outage
 

Happy to be able to post this thread and that the forums are back online. I'm sorry for the delay, as a work deployment during the middle of the issue precluded me from doing some of the work to get this back up. The short version:

GoDaddy migrated the website, without telling me, to a new server. During the move, they apparently corrupted the entire database. I spent weeks dealing with them, while being told varying reasons for the outage.

What it came down to was the corrupted database and incompatible versions of MySQL and PHP on the new server.

So...I went ahead and upgraded our software after they restored the database. We only lost about a week's worth of posts. I learned a lot during the process, too.

Hope the look and functionality haven't changed too much. It looks good to me for now.

Welcome back!

Yayyyyy.

Great job, Mike!

Thanks, Mike!

Return to service
 

Thank you very much Mike!
This Forum is my daily entertainment and I was going through "withdrawals" pretty bad. Thanks for the fix.

Thanks, was sure missing the posts!

Thanks Mike, it's great to have the forum back up and alive!

Whooo Hoooo !!! We're back!!!

It is great that the Forum is back online. This is also a reminder that it takes time and money to operate this site. There is a PayPal acct set up to donate and if you haven't done so already, remember it's Christmas...
