RDA Forum

So far I haven't done anything. In fact, until last night, I couldn't even get the page to load in order to TRY anything. I had upgraded the phpbb version, which worked, and I had changed the email address, which worked. But the blank screen and error messages seem to be due to the 500+ replicators ...

<ggrrr> No! I didn't get those either! Not since early Saturday morning. I responded, but now I wonder if you got MY email?

I think I need a little more hand-holding before I go messing with system files.

I haven't done a thing! :shock: In fact, until just now, I haven't been able to get the page to load at all! I was just about ready to give up and create a whole new forum. So it seems the whole problem has to do with robots overwhelming the resources. Skurk, I'll be talking to you about how to kill...

I just updated to the newest version of the phpbb. (My computer and I had words, but I think I finally got it to work.) Right now, I don't seem to be getting the 500 error message. Let's see if that lasts. But then I got a notification that JB5 had posted to this thread. But I don't see it. Unless t...

Even the cookie trick isn't working now.

Do you think it would help if I just created a brand new forum with a new address like "phpbbforum" and tried to import all the data into it so that it would take the spambots a little longer to find it??

Its definitely a cache problem. Everytime I'm able to delete the board's cookies its normal. Yes 500 plus users online maybe causing this ... there is something going on.. 🧐 Most users ever online was 546 on Fri Apr 26, 2024 10:07 am 🧐 I try to find out more a bit later. But fingers crossed Kate, y...

<sigh> I'm still getting the 500 error too. Okay, a little later, I'll try updating the PHP version. Just be aware that the whole Forum is likely to crash for a time until I can figure out how to get it to work again. It's the only other thing I can think of. I had switched both the Updates mailing ...

As much as I'd like to take credit for that, I haven't done a thing. It seems that it was just gremlins. :mrgreen: All of a sudden I got a whole bunch of delayed emails regurgitating into my inbox all at once, as if it was finally catching up. I don't know what the problem was, but it doesn't seem t...

Kate, some of us had noticed that the web site was acting erratically yesterday, but today, at least for me, it is no longer misbehaving. The whole website? I usually access the website offline, so I only noticed the error problems with the Forum. If the whole website is having issues, then it's no...

Well, if anyone can figure it out, Kate can! Ha! Don't count on it! :roll: I'm having trouble getting the whole Forum to load, too. Ever since last night, I have to reload the page several times. That can't possibly have anything to do with the new email. It may have to do with the PHP being outdat...
