Title: Back up and running
Post by: Hank on April 20, 2020, 06:53:28 AM
Sorry for the 3 day outage. 
We had a technical glitch, basically the water pump seal started leaking.   
I called our host first thing last Friday and we got the issue bandaided, and the site should have gone back live immediately, but it didn't for some reason.

At some point we might have too look at newer software.   The SMF forum software we are running doesn't appear to be compatible with the latest webhosting/database software that is pretty much a standard.   I'll keep a closer eye on the error logs for a while and see what happens.

With my understanding of computers, I'm thinking its closer to a "Muffler Bearing" type analogy ........   That's as much as I know about software


Hank, thanks for getting this sorted

The muffler bearing failed, then once it completely fell apart the muffler shaft wore right through the muffler housing.
Then all the muffler bearing ball fragments fell into the oil tank.    And then the error log got full and we went over our allotted disk space, so goDaddy shut us down.
I blame Bill Gates.

I also had to reinstall Tapatalk.    If you can't connect in Tapatalk, delete the site and re-add it in Tapatalk and it should work.
