Site Status

[GeorgeH]

Further actions were needed, the DNS propagation was stuck on 50% for a long time.
I didn't have problems reaching the site but I know others weren't so lucky.

It turned out to be a setting with that the host needed to change back after Cloudflare was activated in late March.
We are currently 91% propagated.

Sorry to anyone that was affected!

The site was down all afternoon for me. Anyone else have it down longer than 30 min?

 

[JonPurpleHaze]

As I mentioned before I had no problems all day, I think it depended on which side of the 50% propagation you were on.

I need to thank @EarBiteR who informed me that there was a problem!
I know others who couldn't reach the site.....

Somehow, we went from 91% to 87 propagated in the past hour and a half.....

The site was deactivated for awhile earlier today. I'm trying to replace the Resource Icon add-on which works but has no path for future updates with a newer version. It didn't work as expected, I hope to get the new one to display these icons properly.

 

[JonPurpleHaze]

Site will be deactivated again in a few minutes, need to try and revert to the old Resource Icon version.

Fantastic job @xenonph!

You did a great job updating the site and it seems to be to be working ok, if anybody runs into errors kindly report them!

 

[GeorgeH]

Yea Charles! Thank you. The problem was beginning to make me a little testy.

Yea Charles! Thank you. The problem was beginning to make me a little testy.

Unfortunately, those updates wouldn't have fixed the php problem.


That was fixed previously with a temporary file edit which Charles knows how to do now!
The next update will be a big one, we will be going to the 2.3 series and a lot of the Add-Ons have updates as well.
I still need to see if the PHP version will change with that.

Sorry I've been gone for quite awhile, I've had a pretty bad year, Oh Well the site was massively updated today and it's still being worked on.

I received an email from the hosting company on Thursday (10/30) that the site was disabled Without Freaking Warnings due to instability of some sort, this was around 1 PM and included instructions on how to restore the site after looking at logs and troubleshooting. I didn't have time for that but tried to restore the site at 7PM and it didn't work due to a different problem that they caused. At around 2:30AM they fixed another problem and temporarily restored the site but then disabled it again due to incoming spikes.....

So fed up with them, anyway the site has been updated to the latest versions of the software and our php version was changed to 8.3. Some of the add-ons don't have later versions from before but might work ok. This was done so that we can troubleshoot after fully upgrading, most of the upgrades were Major.

PHP went from 8.2 to 8.3
Xenforo went from 2.2.1.6 to 2.3.7
Resource Manager went from 2.2.5 to 2.3.5
Media Gallery went from 2.2.5 to 2.3.5
Multi Prefix went from 2.1.13.3 to 2.16.3
Chat went from 2.3.5 to 2.5.4
ShoutBox went from 1.10.2 to 2.1.2
Standard Library went from 1.20.1 to 1.22.6
Dragonbyte Donate went from 3.7.0 to 5.0.0 Beta 1 (Still haven't got this to show up)
Dragonbyte Payment went from 1.2.0 to 2.0.1
Dragonbyte Member Map went from 2.5.0 to 3.0.1
Country Flags by IP Address was updated to 2.2.1 Patch Level 5 but I still don't know if it will work.
Who Downloaded This Resource was updated to 2.3.0
RSS Feed Filter 2.0.6 was reactivated, not sure if it still works.
Media Gallery Order by Title was not updated and still works.

I've been downloading newer versions of the rectangular icons program for a long time (Resource Icon 2.1.4
Modify resource icon width and height with new feature)
but we are now at the probable end of life of our old one. I have a newer version from a different author but so far I've only reactivated the old one. Before I activated all of our Resource Icons were round, now it looks like most of them are rectangle. This is going to take some research to see if the new version will work.

As always, let us know about bugs, there will be more this time.

I noticed the resource marquee is much taller that it was. I think I liked it better using the Tag line instead of the table description. I guessing it was one of the changes to the newer versions.

It seems like a lot of things have changed, I'm going to have to see if perhaps others can fix them, I believe you are mentioning the top of the home page but am not sure.

If we move it, I world prefer having it not as tall as it is now but like it was.
