WiiRd forum

Expect some offline time on the week-end (geckocodes.org will not be affected of course)!

Main reason is: normally I used the official upgrader by SMF which would upgrade safely while the forum is running. However, in the past, this forum used very many addons, like YouTube addons and everything. Due to attacks, deleting, reenabling, installing language packs, uninstalling, enabling attachments, disabling, using web upgraders and blablabla - right now activating addons, reactivatng attachments and related stuff just does not work anymore - I could imagine a direct upgrade wouldn't work either. The database however, seems intact. On Saturday I will run backups of the forum and reinstall it with the existing database - that way it would be made sure that the forum files are completely original and unmodified so hopefully - reactivating addons.. and also activating the YouTube plug-in would work again!

Thank you for your dedication to making the forums available and secure.

Much appreciation mate =)

So well.. we are on 1.1.12 - some minor fixes to change (like readding Geckocodes.org link above) but well..

Unfortunately the thank-o-matic addon is BROKEN in that version so you cannot thank people for their posts.. existing thanks are stored though, they should return shortly!

oh no, My Thank you button is broken.lol,  anyways glad the update went smoothly i didn't even notice :)

Thank you Link!

I second that!

Whoops.. true, the Settings.php had to be remade and I copied data incorrectly ^^

So thank you posts is gone? if it ever gets reinstalled will the thank you posts be intact?

Actually, it should, the database entries for thankyous are still there.. I just hope Thank-o-Matic will get updated... I check every 2 or 3 days right now.

I don't appear to be receiving e-mail notifications from the forum.  Are the e-mail notifications working for other people?

Thanks for the note.. I tested mail sending during the upgrade and it worked.. I must have broken it.. so well.. consequences taken.. it works again, and I activated all pending members.. and they got a mail that they are activated.

was the mail not working for GeckoCodes either by chance?
Shark2003 said he wasn't getting an email (but I was sending it..)

Hey, how do I upload pictures now? There's still no 'upload' button, if that was what was meant to be included in the update. If there is could someone tell me where to find it?

I did not change a bit about GeckoCodes.org and geckocodes.org should use completely different SMTP data.. please verify it yourself (use l0nk.org as SMTP server with a locally installed thunderbird or related and try the credentials in the code).. otherwise, PHP test scripts should work. I did not change a single bit there, GeckoCodes.org is stored at a different places on the server harddrive.

Cool cool.

It still works for me, I just couldn't check when I was at work and posted that

Thank you link

Thank-you addon should be back and working.. no official update, I modified some of its PHP, so that it should work again.

And as hoped: the database was not reset, I still see many thank-yous of former posts, I hope all of them are still there!

Wow surprised to see this forum back online. What happened

iiiii have no idea

Doesn't matter for now, I'm happy to see my favorite Wii Code hacking Forum back online ^o^
I already thought you'd never come back Q.Q

I'm glad to meet everyone again :D

Quite cool to see this forum back online! ;D Actually thought it will be down forever.

I'm pleased that everything on here is not wasted and to "see" everyone again :)

Yeah, I thought that this forum was gone forever as well.  I just clicked on it in my bookmarks a few minutes ago, and much to my surprise, it loaded back up.  Great to see it back online.   ;D

It's nice to see the forum back . Thank you

Thank you Link   :) :) :)

Nah, nobody even knows who did what. :P

This forum may be back but it's still dead as hell. :/

Holy crap we're live again.

YAY

0.o

Today the dns resolution error came up again. Does anyone know how to fix it permanently? James, Link? Come on, guys :-\

I think it came up a few days ago as well...

First post in 2015 :D I guess the site won't be up long until it goes down again. :'(

I talked to Link a while ago about it. Hopefully I might be able to do something soon... I miss this forum.

Anything that can be done to keep the site alive would be appreciated ::) 

Huh we're live again? Amazing.

*I got bored and also checked to see if my Wii & USB Gecko still work*

Surprisingly they do. Yay!

The Wii scene is dead, isn't it ?

#USBGecko @ EFNet is also dead :
#usbgecko: XeR_0x2A @Austin @Mega-Bot

Anyone know what the problem is ?

Please tell me WiiRd's not gonna go down again

Don't jinx it!

Well the site is fairly dead right now. I'm betting if traffic doesn't come back, it'll die again. It needs something to bring some life back into the site. Maybe a WiiU hacking section, once\if the exploits become public. I'm fairly sure people are already making codes on the system privately.  WiiURd lol

edit: btw anyone know of a good program to backup websites, I'd like to make a private backup in case this site goes permanently

Doesn't that Webarchive or whatever work fairly well to save/store webpages?

is that a program or one of them archived website sites? I was trying the HTTrack, but looking for a better solution.

It's one of those website archiver site dealies.

Httrack seemed to work good enough, now I have a virtual copy of Geckocodes and Wiird. Both together was about 7.5gb

That's pretty impressive.

Yes, I also had good experiences with HTTrack (https://www.httrack.com/) by mirroring my website just in case to keep it all backed up. Obviously it won't work for the "private" sections. :P

According to the manual you should be able to store cookies in a file, you'd just need to extract them from your browser while being logged in and downloading the private sites should work (I think).
