Re: White screen

i think this means i am still known to be following the threads in queston. No, as part of trying to fix the database corruption issue I emptied out some tables including watched/bookmarked/followed topics. So you'll need to follow those topics again. You can see your bookmarks and subscriptions in...

Re: White screen

have you given any thought to no longer receiving emails to notify new posts on threads being followed? is there something i can do to re initiate it, if I'm the only one with this problem? Did it used to work and then stop working? Have you selected the email checkboxes for the notifications you w...

Re: White screen

Ok I think I fixed it now. There is a way to revert the behavior of tracking read/unread topics to use a session cookie instead of using the database. I have changed that setting and things seem to be working better now. The database is still corrupted, and I don't know how to fix it, but the affect...

It has something to do with the forum trying...

Re: White screen

Ok I think I might have fixed it by emptying out the problematic database table.

I'm not sure what all the possible side effects of such a drastic operation might be though.

Please let me know how it's working for you now.

Thanks,
Scott

Re: White screen

Ok I am suddenly seeing this problem now too.

I see errors in the logs about a possible database corruption issue that I don't understand.

I have tried but am not getting good help from my hosting provider on it.

Re: Private Forums

There are actually 24 private forums. There is a setting for moderators to choose if they want their forum to be visible to non-members so they can request membership.

Cheers,

Re: WWIII

I don't appreciate the forum being used in this way.

I have deleted the death/gore images and am locking this topic.

Walter, please take it somewhere else.

Thanks,

Re: besslerwheel.com website down???

Sorry for the trouble. My hosting provider didn't alert me to anything but I guess they were having some problems. Seems to be working now.
Thanks,

Test large file attachment

Apparently ever since I upgraded to phpbb3 a year ago the forum has prevented file attachments larger than 500KB.

I have done some work to try to fix the problem so here is a test.

This image is 8.2 MB.

Re: Influx of disruptive people

I have cleaned up the spammers, again, and banned James Lindgaard, again. I'll try to check in and do it more often.
Thanks,
