NEWS 10/30/2025 - Site issues

[Mellow]

The host did some server moves/upgrades etc... as they did that the site had some issues.

They fixed the setting on the server-side but I also decided to upgrade the software version. I still have some tweaks to do but all basic functions should be working now.

Whew, I was going through withdrawl here. It was asking me to download and save a file when I tried to access the page, very concerning. Glad it's good now!

 

[Mellow]

Yeah, they upgraded the php version so the file acts as a warning that the software won't work but the problem was the server side, even though was the correct version, wasn't set in a config-type file as that version - I'm guessing. Once they synced that up it came back up.

I still have some tweaks to do

Resetting the page banner image size / proportions, for example...

I'm still finding the HOME and FORUM "buttons" are causing the file download on my pc, but not my mac.

Update: clearing my cache fixed it.

Any idea why threads I've read still show in the What's New feature?

Oh never mind: I see there's a difference between What's New and New Posts. Is the What's New new, in and of itself? I don't recall having seen it before.

Thanks Joe , I thought my laptop was having a hissy fit! All sorts of strange things happened when I tried to log in this morning....

It doesnt like my VPN...had to shut it off to get access... possible fix?

I spent an hour or so trying to fix my browser, only to realize it was a site problem or Joe tripped over the plug in the middle of night. Thanks for getting it back up Joe!

"What's New" still not working for me with Chrome, it is downloading a file when clicking on it (but works in FIrefox).

My "living room" is back!

Thanks JOE

I don't think there are too many people who can do what Mellow does ... For free! If anything happens to him he will be hard to replace and the next guy may not be so mellow about fixing the broken site. Many thanks Joe and stay safe and sane!

Well that was weird this morning I too screwed around with my PC for an hour before giving up. Glad to see it's back.

You'll likely have to clear your cache on any browser to clear up some issues. I've been working on some work issues so I'll get to the other little stuff as I can. At least it's back up.

I'm always glad when it's back up. <ducks, and hopes not to get banned...>

What's New isn't new. It's been there for a good while. My browser is bookmarked to New Posts. When this started I was getting downloads of bits of software or more likely text clippings but no access. Using a different browser about an hour ago got me in. So I cleared the cache of my goto and viola! (Yes I know.) It's back.

What's New and New Posts used to be synonymous here but at the moment they aren't, at least in the mobile implementation.

New Posts shows exactly that, while What's New (including the lightning bolt icon on the mobile interface, which I'm using at the moment) shows a list of new events, under a subsequent that includes New Posts.

On my desktop browser What's New did that same thing yesterday morning but by evening it went straight to New Posts, as it did before the software update.
