Title: What Happened?
Post by: pa-outdoorsman on February 27, 2021, 07:37:09 PM
Did anyone else experience an outage on the forum Thursday and Friday? Every time I tried to visit the site, my browser would actually try to download a file instead of taking me to the web page. It was very strange. For a while there, I was worried the forum had been lost in cyberspace. Glad to see it is alive and well. I would miss all you fine fellows!

Hey pa....
What did you do to get your browser to stop trying to download a file when visiting the Kymcoforum site?.....my Microsoft Edge is still doing that.
(I'm here on Chrome...)

I am also on Edge browser. If I don't sign in I can see the main forum list but if I try to view individual post I only get a banner at the top but the message won't load. After signing in to the forum it loads normally.

Hi all, sorry for the outage and issues. I was using an older version of php and my host forced an upgrade.

The theme I was using is no longer compatible with SMF forum latest version.

For now I will need to keep this default theme and find a new look/feel.

If you use chrome browser and want to go back to the orange theme you can do it in your forum profile.

I'll figure this out as soon as I can. Again I apologize for the look while I find bold new graphics.

Nothing. I'm on Chrome all the time and it was doing the same. Today it just seemed to start working again. I think the other response from the administrator explains it well.

It’s still acting up. I couldn’t use the App. I had to log in with Safari on my iPad

From an ordinary user can I just say thanks for the time and effort I'm sure you've had to put in to get us back up and running.  It's very much appreciated.
