Forum errors earlier today

Postby TrimTheKing » 17 Jul 2019, 12:15

Hi all

Long story short, anyone trying to use the forum this morning would have seen issues reading any posts on Tapatalk, and all posts were prepended with a long list of errors when viewed through browser.

*** Techie jargon alert ***
This was down to the forum host accidentally auto upgrading our PHP version to a version that wasn't backward compatible with our version of forum software.

Bob alerted me to this at 08:30 this morning, I saw the email around 09:30 and after investigation and a call to the hosts all functionality was restored at around 12:00.

Hopefully this didn't disrupt your enjoyment too much, and it explains why every time I refreshed this morning (up until I saw Bob's email) that there were no new posts!

All sorted now, but this has opened up a completely separate and voluminous can of worms that I now need to ponder...

Cheers
Mark

Thanks for sorting it. In my browser, there were lines of script across the top of the screen for about 2 seconds before they disappears and the screen returned to normal.

No, It is you that is special Malc. :lol:

Mere mortals would have seen a varying number of lines of PHPbb error debug code according to the page being viewed that would have remained static and would also have been prevented from posting anything.
Tapatalkers would have seen "content not available" and also been prevented from posting.
Mark has applied a sticking plaster solution whilst we workout long term what is the best way ahead with the underlying software version issue.
In the mean time all facets of the forum should be working as normal and long may that continue.
