The server hosting the forums had a raid card failure last night, unfortunately it took the datacenter techs 13+ hours to repair the server, but at least it's back up now.

I'm setting up a DR replication schedule today so if this server tanks I'll be able to spin up a separate system.

Nobody has said anything so I'm assuming all is good?

I haven't seen any posts since Friday so I'm hoping everybody is out working on or driving their AA's.

Hello AA'rs Tonight I upgraded the forum to the latest version. This was a particularly bumpy upgrade and the database backup I had created apparently was missing a few tables (argh!) so I couldn't roll back to the previous version like I have done in the past. It was either: roll back to last Febru...

Please post any errors you encounter regarding the latest upgrade done on June 14, 2019 in this thread.

Hello future forum members! After you have registered for an account you MUST email the board admin to notify me that you have just registered for an account. The volume of BOT and SPAM registrations has gotten so bad that I'm unsure what is legit and what isn't. The obvious tip offs are there, but ...

We appreciate your continuation of this forum and efforts to resolve this strange issue. I asked one of my IT techy friends what it may be and he chucked and thought phpBB forums were dead :oops: But as a crude work around if you set max upload to 3 MiB would it allow us to go past 1mb file size I ...

Ok, here's an interesting thing. Figured what the heck and would set the image size to 2048 KiB (2MB) and see what happens. After I save the config the software shows the setting at 2 MiB.

hmm weird. Like i said i had issues uploading a 612kb jpg file yesterday but not a 323kb file. Had to shrink the 612 file to under 500 for it to work. Theres no weird settings for different file types are there? (like jpg, bmp, etc) I see in your max file size if set to zero is limited by your php ...

The lower case 'i' is what is confusing the terminology. The forum software is a bit unusual in that respect, also the default language is UK English so that may be why the size terms are a bit off. The end result is pretty much the same, 1 MiB is 1024 KiB, or 1,048,576 Bytes, or 1MB. One mebibyte (...

The limit is actually 1Mb, so not sure why you can only attach a 504Kb file. 3 images is the limit for an individual post.

Maintenance downtime was pretty quick, a failed drive was causing the raid controller to beep and the datacenter folks swapped the bad drive. File system has been rebuilt and we are all set.

Hello, the server hosting this site will need to be taken down for about an hour later today (around 5pm Pacific Time) for maintenance.
