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?)
Steve

I think it uses solar power :)... explains the random, infrequent outages ;)
Thanx for the efforts! 8)

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 :(

it certainly would be for me, especially as nothing would ever work again😁.

Our new site is https://www.sohc.co.uk
We don’t really need the https bit as we are not selling anything, but it is included with the hosting and saves your browser giving you those irritating “This site is not secure” messages.

Once we have standard access, I will take a look at VPNs and Tapatalk Roy.
I have never used one myself but there’s a large user community that will no-doubt have seen this before.

I've just disconnected from my WiFi and using 5g mobile.
My Internet is EE and won't connect my laptop, tablet or mobile. I cleared caches, browsing history and tried Firefox, Chrome and Edge browsers. No joy on any of these.
Post by: SteveW on April 23, 2025, 09:31:56 PM
Microsoft Edge is the only browser I can seem to connect with.

When I went to log in this evening all my details had been wiped and no matter what I tried I couldn't log back in or retrieve my log in details using the 'answer a saved question' method.
Post by: SteveD CB500K0 on April 26, 2025, 11:08:12 AM
I can access it from home on CityFibre but here at my mother-in-laws it doesn’t work at all (BT Internet). I have to switch of wifi and use mobile data (EE) to get in.

No mobile used either.
Initially and early on saw no access, but since has been OK, still with original login, no re entry of password either. Seems reasonably OK now, can't see some ikon on logged in list, left of home page.
Hopefully of some use :)
Post by: Nurse Julie on April 26, 2025, 12:08:55 PM
It may be temporary as I'm not at home using my EE mobile but logged into a BT guest link at a café.
I'll try via EE when I get back home.

Firefox and Chrome don’t work at all, Edge sometimes works.

I still can't get on the site via my phone.

"They have access to server stuff that I don't"
We shall see.
Post by: SteveD CB500K0 on April 30, 2025, 09:10:25 AM
This could be more problematic as they appear to have been corrupted during the migration. Not sure if the hosting company has the old folders in archive.

Just tried to go into Aladdin's Cave and it is showing 'Account Suspended'. Is anyone else having the same problem?
Just use Ash's Dropbox Links Dave ...everything in there anyway and it still works perfectly ! So all is not lost.

Only way it seems to work if I use Edge to connect via a VPN to my works servers in Germany then open a new tab then I can get on.

Aladdin’s Cave is back. That’s my fault as I forgot to tell them there was a subdomain.

Thank you for all your time and effort to change the site over to a super fast green server, However I am still as slow as ever on computers 😂 But have managed to be able to upload some pictures over the pass few weeks. Thank you for kindly running the forum for us all over the years.
