Blank Screen

Post by gravitationallychallenged »

For the past few days when attempting to visit the Forum, I selected Discussion Board and a blank screen would appear. Did anyone else have the same experience? I also tried sending a couple of messages to Scott concerning the problem but the messages came back as undelivered.

Thanks agor95, I must confess, the thought crossed my mind that perhaps someone had posted a video of a runner and that the forum had been closed until the offending post and all evidence had been removed.

Hi All,

My hosting provider upgraded the version of PHP on the server and broke the site. I downgraded it and got it working again. Eventually I will need to do the upgrade and make the necessary code changes, but don't have time for that right now.

Thanks and sorry for the trouble,
Scott
