Forum downtime

[boatman]

I've noticed that this evening too... went to post up 2 pics earlier,but it wouldn't accept the 2nd..... so I just ditched it,strange though,as I'd taken both pics on the same phone,and consecutively?!! :thinking:

Well Smithy i do resize all my pics in the paint section on my p/c from m/b down to k/b an then the pics load easy

The maximum size of photo files seems to be smaller - the forum used to resize them but doesn't any more. Is this temporary John ?

So you think, I hear on good authority when she last injected you a small location transmitter was introduced. So it doesn't matter where or what you are doing Matron knows where you are Chris .

I first knew when Chris sent me a text, when I looked earlier all I saw was Bad Gateway, thought I had messed something up .

Thanks John for getting it back .

Hope you're feeling better John.
I thought Bad Gateway was a town in Germany...

We that was a bit of a worry, I was updating the database on the server from v5 to v10, everything I read said it was pretty straight forward and things rarely go wrong, all I can say is I'm glad I took a database backup before playing, I did think I had lost everything even the files as I couldn't access the server, but I managed to get it and rescue them, everything should be working again, but as I had to format the server and reinstall everything there might be some things missing, any issues let me know and I will look in to it.

On a similar note, the reason why I had to update the database is because in about 8-12 weeks I will be changing the forum software to vbulletin, I'm just waiting for them to create an import file, once they have done it and we have manage to migrate the threads, posts etc the forum will need to be moved to their cloud based hosting, that will only be for about a week while we make sure there are no problems, then I will move it back to the server, so there will be a little bit of downtime.

You read the instructions????? that was the problem there for a start - most of us just turn the pages muttering to ourselves "Duh! pretty picture, crayons...."

[Guest]

John, your message while the site was down, was pure genius!!! Don't have a wife (anymore), so I had a good chat with myself....

Thanks Sir and Prost

Did you use the mirror for the chat or just stood next to some unsuspecting civilian at the bus stop...

I didn't know anything happened 'cos I had gone off building to have time with the family during my birthday. Got treated to a sushi lunch, spent more time with kitty litter and the new rescued puppy, just checked in today. What's this about talking to wives...we're into morse code now.

Cheers,

Wabble,
You have birthdays ????? WOW! All I get now is "Oh! still here then...."

That object she's holding in her left hand looks frightening . Tin foil is of no use whats so ever Chris, the transmitter is not affected by any metal screen as keeping credit cards in a special wallet.
Rather like Big Brother watching every move you make, just accept it Chris, very much like your feeble defensive against Marmite.
