The current forum runs on language PHP 5.4. I just remembered an announcement from the web hosting service that they are forcing the PHP upgrade to 5.6 (supposedly to start March 14), which will most likely break the forums at the current version.
If you suddenly cannot access, please take many deep breaths and know that it is temporary. It could take days before the forums come back due to the admin (yours truly)'s incompetency. The upgrade of the forum package is a bit complex. But life without Mud 'n Crud for a few days may just be the novelty that everyone needs from time to time.

Bummer.
Pretty ironic too since I was having trouble with access last night and went to the old forum.
Some fun reading on there.
I guess we will figure out for ourselves when the worm has turned :lol:

Says the woman who patiently walked me through the mere act of posting a photo to the internet and spends 30 minutes helping me post photo-topos and hand drawn topos every time I need to post one.
Incompetent? I'm laughing my ass off :P ;D ::)

Good luck!

Still here

All those enlightened thoughts growing in mass, waiting to be birthed for the public's pleasure and advancement. I may need an intellectual Cesarean. :)

Oh, if that does not convince you, yeah, I'm a bit busy too. Will not get around to the major upgrade for at least a few days. Hence the warning.
Any day, any minute, now...Poof...
the old forum.
The old forum? Not aware...

Go to the Home page and then to Old Site.
Triple Decker made the top ten 8's list :yikes:
I still need to go get to the top of that thing :crazy: :yesnod: :eeeek:
-
Old Site.
Oh... alternative forum....
In other words, it ain't no forum!!! ::)
-
Is this thing on?
-
A couple days. I will melt down.
I had an outage on Monday
-
We're two days past the supposed deadline...
Is this a hoax?
Fake news?
Did a troll hijack the worm's account? :lol:
-
Not hoax, not fake news, but more like Y2K. You held your breath and the moment came and went. Nothing happened.
Received notification that PHP upgrade was complete and old PHP versions was removed. Hmmm... I thought we had to be on the older version due to the old version of the Forum package. Not sure how we dodged it, but I'll not count on the good luck forever. At one point, when I can allocate a day, I'll work on the Forum upgrade. The upgrade shouldn't take that long, but I want to make sure there is enough time to work on fixing in case anything breaks.
I'll let you guys know in advance.

Well why did you go climbing on Saturday when you could have been working on our forum?

Received following notice:
We recently alerted you to an impending operating system upgrade of your shared web server. The day of that upgrade has arrived!
Later this evening between 4:00pm PDT and 7:00pm PDT, we'll be upgrading your shared web server from Ubuntu Linux version 14.04.5 LTS (also known as Trusty Tahr!) to 18.04.1 LTS (aka Bionic Beaver!)
We expect the upgrade process to take no more than 1 hour.
You may notice that your website will be unreachable for brief periods while we work on your server. Don't worry - this is normal!
Let's hope the site comes back to life.
