Site Down - Change

[ArcadiaGP]

In my experience running forums:

1. Plan ahead and announce the downtime to the userbase.
2. Test the changes in a migration environment/page.

I get this now when navigating the website on my iPhone.

Yep the plugins are off temporarily while we try and figure out which is causing the issue, still working on it

Ammo and Long Guns are missing in the Classifieds

Yesterday was a bad day for computers. When I kept getting the error message(s) on INGO using Firefox on my Linux system (running from a thumb drive), I tried downloading Chrome and managed to screw up my thumb drive. Went to log in to Windows, and my user profile can't be loaded for some reason so now I can't get to my Windows system to fix the Linux drive. I have my Windows machine backed up, but again, since I can't log in to Windows, I can't restore it from the backup. Arggghhh! At least DoggyMama doesn't use her machine much so I'm using it for now.

Most of what I'm seeing has already been reported with the site. I noticed the missing classified categories (Long Guns and Ammunition). I usually browse the classifieds as soon as I get on INGO. The last error message I was getting before everything went kaput yesterday was something about this site not using a valid or supported form of compression? Whatever that means... apparently that error has been corrected though.

The "unread posts" button is missing.

They aren't missing, but instead of being listed from top to bottom, sub-forums are now listed left to right and top to bottom making them easy to overlook.

TK, how much money is in the Mental Anguish Fund? Probably not enough.

The reputation isn't working properly. It won't let you give points.

So turns out a plugin vbulletin dumped long ago VBSEO was the issue. So all plugins are back on, minus VBSEO until we try and fix. FYI Please PM me any issues or report here. Thanks all!

 

[2A_Tom]

Thanks TK. When can we expect our $1000 check?

 

[Bigtanker]

VBSEO?

Venison, Bacon and Sausage Eaters Org? Yeah, we need that back please.

 

[texkev]

Agreed

hence why it is vital to fix it...

Unread posts is gone again.

It's baaaack.

I never new the unread posts could be clicked on. It does the same thing as "New Posts" I think.

Not quite. New posts shows all recent posts including those you have already read. Unread is just the ones you haven't already clicked on.

If I click on a post, read it to the end and then click on new posts again, the thread I just read is gone.

Hmmm...when I was reading them yesterday, they were still on the list when I would click on that link again. Weird...maybe whatever was done today fixed that too.
