@NINJA don’t blame him

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

NINJA · C Calum 14 Oct 2019, 15:37

@Calum Just a joke boys.

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.

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.

Mobile site is broken I will investigate...

@Calum Okay, that's looking sweet now.

IF you are experiencing problems.

You may need to clear your browsers cache as some things have changed. If the colours look off etc.

This will vary from machine to machine.

Well that was odd...

Apparently the system upgrade decided to delete the boot drive. Effectively rendering the server useless.

I don't have the tools necessary to do this on site, so I had to take the server back home with me to fix.

Luckily I back it up before I do anything, so nothing is lost.

Otherwise it's running the latest forum software and system patches.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Note To Self: Emoticons seem broken since the last update. I'll need to look into this on the weekend...

Forum patched upgrade. I addressed an issue where some of the links were broken. Shout out to @Arite for letting me know what the fix was.

As usual, you'll need to clear your browser cache and refresh.
