Recent Site Glitches
« on: April 14, 2025, 08:41:12 AM »
Hi Everyone.

I have recently migrated the site to a new "green" server. I think it uses solar power :)
However, it should be faster than the old one as it is set up to host legacy applications like this.

The migration wasn't bug-free (as you probably noticed) and I'm still getting error messages.

Apologies to the four new members who had to wait for approval. You should be in now.

Also to Mo who has been having access problems. (Is it OK now?)

Thanks for the update Steve, I hope this doesn't cause you anymore trouble. What made you go green?  ;D

Will our missing avatars return, or do we have to manually upload them again?

... explains the random, infrequent outages  ;)

Thanx for the efforts!  8)

Nearly there.

The issue (for those that are interested) is that the SMF application uses some hard-coded links (for example, access to the theme and some of the folders where images and avatars are stored). These don't get automatically updated as they would if I was migrating a Wordpress site.
And frankly, it's so long since I've moved this site, I'd forgotten how to do it :(

Forever grateful for the hard work to keep the site going. I would imagine there is constant work in maintaining and fixing to ensure the smooth running for us “menions”

Thanks for all your efforts to keep it all working, I imagine it is quite a stressful thing to do,
it certainly would be for me, especially as nothing would ever work again😁.

Are there still ongoing problems?  I've noticed when searching the results come with a lot of the letters replaced with symbols making reading them near impossible.
