Thanks for the concern.  I've been able to see the site for a couple of days.  I have been busy with RL tasks so I haven't been on here much.

The site is positively zippy since the transfer, so thanks for all your efforts, smokes.

Aha! Great to see you here and that the site is firing well for you.

I should point out that as I now control the server, I do have to reboot it or some of the services from time to time. I usually check that we are clear here first, but in the unlikely event of bad timing and you do see a server failure, it should resolve in a few minutes.

I hadn't noticed that the invite system had disappeared after the updates. It was probably incompatible so I have also updated that. It should be visible in the menu bar to everyone so bump me if it isn't.

Some issues being reported after converting the database and I wondered how far reaching they are? I personally don't have any issues although once logged out I do not see the recent posts as 6 doesn't. I thought that might have something to do with guest permissions but there does not appear to be anything I can tweak via SMF, and editing things manually is a bit hit and miss in that particualr case so I think it's worth living with it.

I can always reload the database before the chinese character issue was fixed if we have too many other glitches that spawn.

I seem to have lost all my posts.

Edit 1: -- and now I have one.

Edit 2: OK - Panic over, it's this one.

Hey, any time you want some stock I can hook you up. I believe you once afforded me such a favour.

Goldie cannot see anything when logged in and I briefly logged in the the gamekeeper account which is essentially a dummy account, and I can see what he means as no posts at all are visible.

I am going to research a solution quickly but if nothing comes up I am going to reload the database before the chinese character fix. I'll warn you beforehand if you want to re-up any posts you've added since then.

As goldie and at least one other account cannot see threads, I'll have to assume there are many more as many members no longer log in. However, we really have a bit of a problem now as the only working database archive I have is from the end of April.

I think for what it's worth I'll try and get this DB working, but if not I really have to reload the April one as we can't leave goldie out in the cold.

I'll ask some of the big boys over on SMF and see if this error has some history to work from.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you test, smokester.

Thanks. I'll go and check my backup.

The backup we grabbed before converting the DB was currupted for some unknown reason. Perhaps it's worth you checking yours.

I'm going to endeavour to fix this over the weekend although I have to work for most of it. If there is no joy them we'll all be subject to another time warp.

I suggest you memorise the lottery numbers now.

Nearly missed this.

It's a tough one to figure out. My hunch is that it is to do with a mod I installed some time ago that stops a PHP error. This is due to SMF finding it hard to handle anything from 7.2 upwards. I can't easily uninstall it as it was manually coded in because of version mismatches.

I'll sandbox an archive and see if I can iron things out and them copy it back.

If you log into the gamekeeper account you'll see goldie's problem.

Ah, I see now. Using the F12 Developer Tools, the code isn't even getting rendered for the Post Subjects (on this page or even on the individual posts of a thread.

Like you, I never log out so did notice anything was a miss. I'm sure that bit of info is probably crucial (fine if already logged in, problem occurs for new users...I wonder if it's a file permission issue).

Here's a screenshot.

I get the question marks in the bar, but that's stupidly minor, took a shot of it, it's in the gallery. I still get topic titles.

I'll logout, then in, see if anything exciting happens.

Nothing exciting happened. I can still see subjects.

That helps and it looks like a similar problem to the one that 6 noticed. I am going to try a couple of things tomorrow as I finally have a day that I am forbidden to work ( it's father's day here). Hopefully something will give.

Ok, the young-un and I have managed to get version of the database from yesterday and getting it fully working - including fixing the little error that 6 reported. The problem is it required uninstalling all the mods and some other stuff so we are going to try and recreate the process without doing that.

Fingers crossed we'll be back to normal soon.
