Forum update

[Link]

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!

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!

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
