Then they moved the site to a different server without telling me so I did not update the Domain Name Servers information, and the site went invisible today. I didn't know until an hour ago (9 pm ET Saturday)
At any rate, I did a bunch of updates to the server end myself, including upgrading the PHP Version to the latest version (it was wayyy out of date), then updated the Board Software, then I started having issues with the Shoutbox, so I realized it wouldn't work with the new PHP version, so I found there was an updated version for the new PHP software, and downloaded and installed it.
So far, so good (knocks on wood!)
GO PANTHERS!!!!
(ps: You will notice the Shoutbox looks different now, but it seems faster)
I noticed that the forum went completely "dark" earlier. Something about "unable to locate domain' -- or something like that. Figured you were on the prowl and would figure it out. --- And I was right.!! You did it.!!
The forum actually loaded up first attempt. No real issues tonight (It's currently 4:30 AM, Sunday..). Hope everything continues to perform like this for awhile. Well, at least until end of season.... Or longer.... Maybe forever more..??
You're right though, the Shoutbox REALLY IS different. I was lost for a second... until I discovered it was inverted top for bottom. Maybe other changes too. Haven't really examined it too closely....
THANKS, Mr. Bond.!! You The Man!!
