Forum Outage

[NINJA]

@Calum The forum has been buggy the last few days bud. Mainly unable to connect and pages not loading, are we low on memory again???

[Calum]

The router at home looks like it's packed up and since I no longer live there, it is a drive away to sort out. I have got a new server for it, curtesy of @Arite. But if the router at my parents is on the blink then obviously need to do something about that as well.

I am looking into it. Will just have to bear with.

Yeah it’s been out all day for me

Thanks Calum, appreciate the effort you put in

Wow, been a long time since I last backed up and updated the forum software. So I done that this morning, hence the outage.

If anything is broken, let me know. I noticed some packages are out of date, but I had to go to work so didn't get around to sorting those out!

@Calum All good so far bud. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth:

@Calum feels a lot faster and smoother on my end

[NINJA]

Yeah I was gonna say that too.

[Calum]

Don't know about that lol. It will crash cause it will run out of memory.

My forum had been down for a good few days and now I’m noticing issues with my notifications I have to manually check threads to see my replies.

[Calum]

Yeah, I wasn't able to get to it until Saturday I'm afraid. Too busy with work.

[declan]

@Calum ohhh I thought it was just me

[NINJA]

@declan Nope everyone @calum was really on a 2 day bender!!! :beer_mug: :clinking_beer_mugs: :beer_mug: :clinking_beer_mugs: :bottle_with_popping_cork:

[declan]

@NINJA don’t blame him

[Calum]

@NINJA I don't drink I just wasn't near a computer capable of fixing it until Saturday.

[NINJA]

@Calum Just a joke boys.

[Calum]

Not sure why it went down. But had to go over and fix it which I can't really do until the weekends due to work commitments.

Took the opportunity to upgrade and patch the software anyhow.

@Calum thanks, appreciated.

[Calum]

Right, sorry if you've been trying to access the site over the last 24 hours.

@Arite Procurred us some new hardware witht 4X the RAM. Which was one of the reasons the sites been unstable as of late.

So I've done a complete tear down and rebuild of the server over the last 24 hours and it should be back up and running now.

Any problems let me know. I tried to install the Imgur plugin but that like broke everything. So for now there is no way to upload images.

I'll look at sorting that out in the future.
