Title: *** Forum problems ***
Post by: RedRotors on July 29, 2014, 12:19:31 pm
We currently having some mysql problem. We are investigating so don't be suprise if the forum goes down from time
to time, my ISP is shutting down the account because of the heavy server usage.

sorry for the trouble, we are on it.

We can survive the slow down we gots turbos.  It is frustrating just the same.  If you get in and ON you can save your lottery ticket money for another day.  You just burned all your luck today.

Down for days,  But I sure got a lot of :other: stuff done around the place.  Hope it stays up and running.

Sure glad you're back & got things sorted out.  Seems like it's a little faster now, too.

It been 2 hella weeks to put this back online. We got hacked again. I upgrade to the new version of SMF, but my host was deleting automatically one vital file for the forum so that's why we were unable to post. it's been a long road for them to
find why.

Everything seems to be back online, please report if you see something wrong.

thanks for your patience.
Marc

Tapatalk is still not working :( for me at least. I don't have a PC at home so that's sort of a big deal to me at least. Not sure if we have any other users.

Thanks for all the hard work put in to getting the forums back up and running though!

Heavy server usage? I thought usage has been down with the banning of members 8V of Fury and Mark the Miser (for no just cause).

With all the pretty colors on the forum  now it's a bit like being lost in a Casino. ;D
When you have time maybe we could get the  font and  colo  roptions  in the posting menu back to icon style?

 8v is still here, to see just go to members and type in his name. At his profile it will say that he is a member and the last log in date.
   
    The other guy did nothing but pro-volke and it was not tolerable for the forum any longer. I mod for nothing, I occasionally get sick of pm's reporting issues. I went and looked at 7 pages back of his posts and found nothing of value *that hadn't been said by others already* and/or a lot of instigation. Over a period of time he was warned, banned, banned again, and finally he is gone. If you want to see his banter I am sure he is on other forums. I am trying to keep it somewhat intelligent here. If you have issue, or anyone for that matter, please pm me and Red Rotors, but remember that red rotors has said that he likes the direction of the forum last I checked. It is a nice place here, I would like to see it stay that way. Moral for me is I haven't had one pm complaint since he has been banned, until you posted this today.

You might want to take a look at Cloudflare - https://www.cloudflare.com/

I use them for my sites on their 'free' tier - it makes a HUGE reduction on bandwidth plus it blocks a lot of common attacks.  The free tier is probably enough for this site.

Lemme know if you need any help!

I just had 2 posting errors. Both of them said there was an error in posting, but they went through when I looked and backed out.

I emailed them twice, without any reply.. They even email me telling me that the forum was 'disconnected' from tapatalk, but not more..
