Downtime

[Nick]

Whew! Sorry about that blip guys! Site was down for quite a bit. I try to do upgrades in the summer and overdo was both a MySQL and PHP upgrade on the server. Of course, after I ran the upgrade, the site went down and wouldn't come up again. My host was backed up on service tickets and it took until this morning to get it resolved.

Thanks for all your patience We should be up again now better than ever

ALso just FYI we are doing one more step on the MySQL upgrade so there is a chance the site maybe go down again for a bit but it should be short term this time as I have an experienced sysadmin on hand now

Just promise me I won't have to interact with people face to face anymore.

Getting some database errors. Notably on St Bears Sight Unseen thread - 2nd page - and accessing more emoticons.

Yeah, checking it out now. I see some when I click on "new posts" and FAQ and a few other things.

We are rolling baack one level on the PHP version. Apparently vBulletin has a patch out but it's still in beta that fully supports the newest version of PHP. Until then we need to go back a step.
