Forum Programming Problems - 06-01-2003, 01:19 PM

Hello Guys,

An installed modification went wrong on the forums and took the forum down for around 10 minutes. The database was not affected, but many pages have lost the modifications which were built over a period of time for ease of use.

The most important mod which won't be available till I hack the forum again would be the quick reply function. Please post any errors, loss of functionality in this thread. I will have to slowly debug the errors and will try to get the forum back to full speed again.

Also the points DB ain't visible on all the posts... Looks like I'll be having sleepless nights ~! So give a couple of days to get everything back up. Meanwhile reply to the post with the errors you are receiving.

Hold on guys. Sorry for the incovenience.

Regards,

Well, the problems have run pretty deep. The amount of customizations I had done have been too extensive. Due to this, any single error in code affects the entire operations of the forums.

The safest way to get back to speed is to upgrade the forum to the newest version and then slowly reapply all the mods. At present, its extremely tough to salvage the points section as the upgrade might affect the DB. Although I'll try to find a work around to that problem.

The Points system is up now... &lt;phew> I'll keep this thread alive for a day or so. So if you find any problems or if any errors crop up, do let me know immediately.

LOL. Thankooo bhai
All this happened when I tried to get a new merge thread feature into the forums ~ phpBB does not come inbuilt with a merge feature. So I tried to mod it to add the merge feature and the forum just went offline due to configuration errors. I'll try to integrate the merge thread features tonight when the least no. of people are online.

Hi Pagal bhai,
Was visiting the website when it went hay-wire( sometime b/w 1 and 2pm).
Initially I thought it was some problem with the browser - because of all that parse Line xx problems. Then saw ur post .

I guess all is well now ...
