Title: Site troubles?
Post by: bubba on May 02, 2008, 09:26:00 pm
I'm getting no "page found errors" coming in from the main page... I got here through a link I had for just the forums...

Yep,

We had some real issues pop up ! ! !
I'm fixing things as we speak and found some things not functioning, one is the login!

I'm getting things up and running though...

Hey everyone,

Just an update to inform you that I'm having great difficulties getting things back together...  :veryangry:

It appears I was forced into an upgrade of our main system, Joomla, which has other applications running inside of this framework, ie. our Discussion Areas, Photo Gallery and a few other things behind the scenes that make things a little more seamless...
At any rate, due to the major upgrade for security purposes, the code that communicates these applications to our main system is now broken and in the case of our Discussion Areas, there is NO upgrade/patch/fix... As a matter of fact, these two entities got into a GPL License dispute and are no longer freely, or at all for that matter, distributing the "bridge" code!
Although our Discussion Areas are functioning, I'm not sure how newly registered members will be affected. I will be testing this at time permits...
Currently, the Photo Gallery is not functioning, but I am currently working on this and hopefully will this running soon...
 :hopefull:

Your patience will be tested again over the next couple of days...
I will attempt to keep everyone informed as I progress down this road of uncertainty...
