Forum Upgrade - Hardware & Software

**TakirasDad** · 07-01-2008, 07:35 AM

In preperation to upgrade our forum software to the latest version some components were updated on the webserver yesterday that appear to have cause a few problems like errors with the Thanks button and some blank emails being sent out when a new PM is recieved or a subscription is created. Please be patient as I work out the bugs.

Today I will be upgrading the web server hardware (CPU & Memory) to try and fix the slowness and high server load errors. Some time after the holiday we will be upgrading the actual forum software to the latest version.

If you notice any other odd problems with the forum please post them here and I will find out what is going on.

Yep, alot of the threads load as just blank pages. I also cant upload any photos in the photo gallery, and it wont let me upload a new avatar.

BTW- Thanks for working on the forum for us TD. I know we all appreciate it. There is no other forum like DT!

Yes I see....phrase error. It seems that a table in the DBase didnt like the upgrade of MySql & PHP to the latest versions. Working on repairing the table. If you notice anything else please post it.

Okay the hard part is over. We are upgraded to the latest version of Forum software and the back end components that run the site.

Over the next few days we will be designing a new skin & template that will allow the forum to stretch to fit wide screen monitors as it has been requested.

Alot of out "hacks" will be removed and the forum will look quite dull until the new skin is finished, please be patient. We will then install all of the little things that we are use to having.

If you notice any errors please report them in this thread.

I figured you must have been working on the forum. I can't get the site to even load half the time and I can't upload pics to the gallery. I have yet to get any kind of error though.
