Combat Manoeuvres (sp.) - vBulletin Upgraded, No Journals / Subbed Menu For Now

    We've upgraded our vBulletin software to the latest version (even though we had a recent version patched with security fixes).

    This means that the following features will be temporarily unavailable:
    • Journals
    • Subbed DHTML Menu

    In effect, we have a vanilla vBulletin install; this will help us to see if a rogue SQL query was causing our MySQL daemon crashes.

    More as it happens!

    I'll hasten to add another :) for Anna's benefit, well more my benefit but there you go.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,762 ✭✭✭WizZard


    Well, how about a boards beer for the Admins when they get it fixed i.e. they don't pay for drink the whole night. Plus as a fundraiser for boards itself?
    Cloud et al must have spent serious time fixing the system this week alone...


    <edit> I can't find anything without my Subbed list!! :( </edit>


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,049 ✭✭✭Cloud


    Actually I have spent more time worrying than doing stuff, I've used my bandwidth cap at home so am only squeezing in free moments in work -

    regi and ecksor have been our saviours - please thank them.

    However, it looks like we're going to have to bring boards offline again today to either dump the database and repair that or repair the database as is...

    as per regi's request to report anomolies I wish to report that I have been unsubscribed from all my subscribed forums. they no longer show up either on the DHTML menu or my User Control Panel.

    I can re-subscribe to them later but this is just to let you know.

    EDIT: nevermind just read clouds message


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,542 ✭✭✭kinkstr


    The stars under posters names arent showing up for me, anyone experiencing a similar problem?
    also some avatars arent showing up


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,082 ✭✭✭Nukem


    HA ha - just noticed that too, some of ye are coming up others arent.

    Looks weird.Wouldnt worry it'll all return soon.

    Big up the regie and ecksor bang up job.

    Nukem


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,762 ✭✭✭WizZard


    Yes, I'm presuming it's because the admins added them on as an extra to vBulletin and they are therefore not in the default install.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,478 ✭✭✭GoneShootin


    This would never have happened if minimilist skin was enabled!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,762 ✭✭✭WizZard


    It is, I'm using it. And only some stars show up. Admins, reg'd users, and subscribers only.

    <edit>I'll get my coat... Just cleared cache on proxy server and the stars are gone!</edit>


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,049 ✭✭✭Cloud


    We haven't done anything to the CP - they should still be there :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,581 ✭✭✭uberwolf

    Stars back, forgot to copy a folder.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,762 ✭✭✭WizZard


    Yay!


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Yeah this stuff really falls on Regi and Ecksors shoulders. Considering that we've just experienced enough faults to sink most online sites, its amazing we have anything at all!

    Cloud, Usenet access also seems to be fubared.
