Wow, that was like THIRTEEN Hours, and then at like 04:00 in the morning it decided to fail and then I gave up and went to bed.

So glad I wasted my weekend doing this and getting nowhere.

So unfortunately, I'll have to try again next weekend!!!

@Calum I have no idea how it all works but thanks for the good work

[Calum]

@Louis-James Would be good work, but nothing happened. Countless wasted hours. We'll get there though, don't you worry.

You have to watch the TV series, its all out of context, but it is brilliant.

[NINJA]

@Calum I do not own a TV, but I'm sure I'll find a free steam or two???

[Calum]

@NINJA It's on Netflix. Brilliant

What happened to the forum? And where is the dark theme? Please tell me there is a dark theme.

[declan]

@Minia lol the struggles

[Calum]

@Minia Don't get me started on the dark theme.

Took me ages to figure that out.

The Dark theme is selected, but doesn't want to propagate!!!

Anyway, I found it under your users settings. Turns out you can choose your own theme for the site. If you go to your user icon and click on settings, you can select the forum theme slate is the one I use.

I saw that but every theme I tried to use broke the website for me, but I see slate works... kind of... not as smooth as it used to be.

@Minia used to work fine for me the update took it off and haven’t tried it back on

[Calum]

It's all getting fixed.

@Arite has been pulling late nights after work sorting out a lot of stuff in the background. Genuinely owe quite a lot to him and his hard work, so it's much appreciated. We'll get it fixed for sure!

@Calum I decided to test out some theme's, anything other than slate causes a crash with the blue 503 user overload message appearing. If I refresh the page after changing to a new theme it takes ages for the site to load, but it will eventually load in. Some will flat out not work, slate seems to be the most stable, but I'm actually liking the superhero theme the best. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@NINJA The themes probably get compiled by the server which is pretty hefty processing for a 1GHz processor. Take it easy lol

[NINJA]

@Calum LOL OK will do, I have settled on a theme now so it's all good bud. :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

[Calum]

Swapped out the server this morning, and to reconfigure the switch to point to this new machine. Although pretty sure the switch crapped out when configuring the DHCP for it, so if it becomes inaccessible...it's probably that.

[NINJA]

@Calum I have no clue what all that means but - Good Job!!! :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

(BTW you don't have to explain it to us non-network tech guys).
