Site is back up

Wondering if this multi post thing is on my end. It doesn't seem like it is happening to anyone else. Strange.

So I take it that last night's fix didn't work?

The issues I have seen today:

[quote= - The quotes still aren't displaying

Double Post - I posted today and it posted double

Threads - there are some threads I am unable to access

Mobile - mobile version no longer exists?

Yeah I'm not sure which company you went through but they suck donkey dīck! I'm still having the same issues as well.

Yep same issues for me. Not that I have much room to complain, I would be useless in trying to remedy the site.

If the database cleanup is successful, there will be a clean board free of modifications and administration can then add back various features like mobile access. Code from previous modifications may be a cause of a lot of the problems around here since the post-hack rebuild.

Any updates on the fixes?

I guess there was some confusion over who was going to run the database cleaner. I have everything just about prepared, but need to find a good day for me to run it.

No big deal. Most of us understand that this is mostly a volunteer operation.

Since the cleanup process is going to basically remove all the mods, you might as well consider upgrading the board to Phpbb 3.1. Any 3.0 mods and styles aren't compatible with 3.1. If you do wait to upgrade, you're going to have to find and install new styles and modifications, again.

Haha tried to post the video from the zoo in 4 different threads that wouldn't let me post and when I made a new one for it I got 4 threads, none of which I can access now.

I think all of the threads which have videos do not work because of BBCode problems.

That makes sense.

Yeah and it doesn't seem to happen to anyone else. My OS and version of Safari are both pretty dated if that could be an issue.

Given that the site ins't entirely back up (or has upset-poor code) I'll post this here. The final building on the Midtown Triangle Apt site is being removed this morning.

Post by **BRoss** » Fri Apr 17, 2015 10:12 pm

As of right now I'm planning on doing the database cleanup at midnight Saturday night/Sunday morning. I'll be disabling the board at that point and should hopefully have it back up by 2 am. I'm going to hold off on installing the mods til a later date to make sure everything is in working order.

Post by **BRoss** » Sun Apr 19, 2015 6:53 am

Database cleanup is complete, but it didn't seem to fix anything...

I was able to get quotes to work correctly again.

It appears posting and viewing problems have gone away after removing a mod's specific BBCode data from a table and reparsing all BBCode. Posting page is now cleaned up from this too. One side effect is now YouTube videos are not displaying anymore (just the links display now). But I think we are in a much better situation than before.

Registration is still messed up due to previous captcha plugin. Still trying to work that out.

Registration is now working.

I think at this point everything should be working normally. Let me know if you notice any problems.

As of right now none of the mods have been reinstalled so things like mobile still don't exist. I will look into slowly adding the mods back as we confirm this fixed all the issues. Once ABBC3 is reinstalled, I'll take another pass at reparsing the BBCode to see if we can get the YouTube videos back.

Thanks for all the work!

One thing I noticed is when you click on links, it used to open in a new window. Now it opens in the same tab. Are you able to correct that?

By the way, nice work on everything else.

Yes, we just deleted 40 of them.

So now I see threads that don't have subjects? Everything is there, but the name is blank and I can not click on it...

I just was able to correct "UNO Hockey Arena @ Aksarben".
Please point out the others you find.

I just came across a couple. I wonder if the db cleaner caused that. I can check tonight and see if I can identify each one and fix it through a mass update. Coyote - can you leave them as-is right now so I can find some examples later?

I'm guessing it was a mod that did that. That should be able to be restored once they get installed.

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 4:09 pm

One thing that I noticed, was each thread had posts which said it was edited at 4:06 Sunday morning....

Post by **BRoss** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 5:04 pm

That was caused by the reparsing of the BBCode. I looked it up and I think it should be able to be suppressed.

Post by **Brad** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 8:58 pm

The Amsterdam thread was missing a name earlier, but I see its fixed now.

Post by **BRoss** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 2:13 am

Missing thread names have been restored. The last edited issue is a bit more complicated than I originally thought.

Post by **BRoss** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 5:14 pm

I was able to restore the last edits last night.

Site is back up again. Trying to figure out how this keeps happening.

Maybe try changing the password from 1234 to something else?
