Re: We're back!
Thanks for a good job of fixing everything Nanaki and Tom! Let's hope the forum's more stable now.
Aww @ Fast .
EDIT: Wow, although I lost about 100 posts, the archiving of all the old ones has put me up to #11 by post count... Only 5 Templar Inner Circle's remain too...
EDIT2: The standard phpBB logo should still be replaced by TwoKinds'.

Re: We're back!
Yay, the forum is back. Thanks to everyone who fixed it.
Also, a thing I just noticed: Most users ever online was 37 on Fri May 15, 2009 8:30 pm
Not a big deal, but I assume this was a side effect from when you fixed the forums (like the old smilies).
Edit: Post 100!

Re: We're back!
That's for the better, I'd say. Considering the previous 'record' was apparently caused by bots... Not really a positive record to have, I'd say.
Re: We're back!
Nice forum's back on..seems to run faster..i bet if a few more old threads wold be deleted it wold run even better.

Re: We're back!
Eww, that seems like a whole lot of trouble Nanaki!
So Fast and everyone already lost their posts when you pruned before; but the post counts themselves weren't edited.
Talking about pruning though, there seems to be one topic left in the Newbie Board dating from 2005; whereas all other topics are dated past end of October 2008. A bit of history left behind? ^^ .
If there's anything we can do to help, say the word, Nanaki. (Unfortunatly though, I am unaware what the smilies were before, anyone has got a screenshot?)

Anyhoo, glad to see the forums are back up and running! I was worried we were going to end up having to recreate all of the current threads. But what did I tell you? The RolePlaying Board would be the downfall of the forum, and I was right! *cackles!*

Re: We're back!
Ugh. PHP4. That and MySQL 4 (which thank God they're finally startting to replace) are the great drawbacks of cheap, shared hosting.
The documentation for PHP indicates that scripts can change the execution time out. Of course, hopefully, we'll never need that again.
Thanks for the fix, Nanaki.
If you can edit your reversion script, you could try addingNanaki wrote:1. The php server ( the 4.1 version ) would not allow me to revert it to the backup. Reason being is that it has a maximum execution time of 30 seconds. All the backups i make are compressed ( to about 40 MB ) because uncompressed they are over 200mb in size. I emailed the host but they would not change it.
Code: Select all
<?php ini_set( 'max_execution_time', 600 ); ?>
Thanks for the fix, Nanaki.
Re: We're back!
whoa, more than half of the smilies are alienheads now! -->

The Perfect World emotes are the most annoying emotes I have ever encountered.
Plus they're three times as tall as the text. Let's not go there.

Re: We're back!
I actually never pay attention to the PW chatbox because of that, I think someone was trying to get my attention/hit on me (i'm a veno) while I was away for a few minutes but i'm not sure. Took me a minute to realize I had any local chat or whatever it is for close vicinity.FoobyKamikaze wrote:The Perfect World emotes are the most annoying emotes I have ever encountered.

Nanaki, sorry you've been put through the ringer. Your heroism in the face of such frustration deserves a medal....unfortunately, this is the best I could do.
