I'll need to close down this message board later tonight to fix some serious issues we are having. It's technical and too complicated to go into, sorry.

The Trophy Room is closed down until it can be repaired. Other forums may suffer the same fate until I can close down and rebuild this entire message board.

I don't have time for it now. Sorry.

Yes!

And the fact that Scott and I had to set up two MB's instead of one.

People are getting serious error messages and posts aren't being recorded because the program is confused as to where to put things. Frankly, I was surprised we lasted this long without more problems. I figured out how to fix each problem as it occurs, but now it's infected the entire Trophy Room forum.

I "fixed" the topics by deleting them and restoring them and forcing the MB to find it again. I'll need to do that for the Trophy Room.

But, more importantly, this problem will continue and become widespread unless I fix things tonight. Because after tonight I'll be gone or have very little time for Legion World until a week from Monday. Tomorrow my BF arrives and on Sunday I'll be going to New York until I work on Thursday. And of course work will prevent me from doing much of anything until that Monday.

Anyway...

I'll need to close down the enitre board later tonight. If you get any errors before then, PM me about it. If you get any errors after tonight, well... evil They'll just have to wait. Sorry. frown

UGH!

The problem has not been solved. I've run out of time. I can't figure this out right now. I've restored things as best I could.

Su, sorry, but I deleted your Brainic 5 eBay post before I had a back up to restore it with. frown

Otherwise, I've learned that posts that were made but don't show up are embedded within the files data. So later on I can restore them. When I've figured out this current configuration problem. That's about as much of an explanation as I can give you.

The error messages will still exist but the information is retained.

I'll have time to devote to the problem in a week and a half.

Gary

Crap! Sorry that you have to put out yet another fire to keep this thing running.

I hope you have a jolly good time with the BF btw! You need some downtime from the problems of this place!

Please post here if you get the infamous error message again. Thanks.

I didn't get the error the googoomuck got but I got this error just now when posting in the MMB. It seems to be the only place I get the error.

The problem is the cache for this site. It won't refresh unless you force it to. In fact, it wouldn't let me delete or move the cache for Forum 3 (the Trophy Room), I finally was able to rename that folder in order to get that forum back to "normal." It looks like my fix was for the symptom and not the cure.

It'll have to wait until Monday, though. My schedule is about to hit the ground running. Sorry.

I'm sorry I haven't been able to be any more help Gary. You were supposed to be sharing some quality time with the BF and not worrying about us. We have another round of doctor appointments today and I have an all day meeting on Saturday but I'll do what I can on Sunday.

Guys, I don't think anyone here expects this board to be your main focus in life. Please don't feel obligated to spend time you don't have trying to fix things that really won't make or break us.

Do what you need to do in real life first, and then worry about the site. If the worst case scenario is that some of us find it too difficult to use the board for a few days, well... that really isn't that big a deal.

I love this board as much as the next person, but if I end up going without for a few days, I think I'll be able to manage somehow, and I'm sure everyone else can too smile

Agreed, with the exception of that cringe-worthy word "Obligated". It's "OBLIGED" dammit...

Both mean the same thing. Why do you cringe at "obligated"?

From Merriam-Websters:
Obligate:
Main Entry: 1ob·li·gate
Pronunciation: 'ä-bl&-"gAt
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): -gat·ed; -gat·ing
Etymology: Latin obligatus, past participle of obligare
Date: 1533
1 : to bind legally or morally : CONSTRAIN

Oblige:
Main Entry: oblige
Pronunciation: &-'blIj
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): obliged; oblig·ing
Etymology: Middle English, from Old French obliger, from Latin obligare, literally, to bind to, from ob- toward + ligare to bind -- more at LIGATURE
Date: 14th century
transitive senses
1 : to constrain by physical, moral, or legal force or by the exigencies of circumstance <obliged to find a job>
2 a : to put in one's debt by a favor or service <we are much obliged for your help> b : to do a favor for <always ready to oblige a friend>
intransitive senses : to do something as or as if a favor

For me, the two words have different connotations.

OBLIGED- has a more positive, slightly archaic feel to it. "Much obliged, stranger!" would be an example.

OBLIGATED- is more negative, like you're forced into doing something you don't want to do because of your responsibilities. "I'm obligated to go to this boring and stuffy fundraiser because I'm president of the club."

What the Princess said, more or less, the essence of it, you know....We love the Board but we love you more (ain't that sweet?). So take care of yourselves first; Legion World can just sit in orbit out there in M81. Ask Bode.

Damn! I was hoping, unrealistically I guess, that this had cleared up on its on. I'm not sure what we can do short of rebuilding the site again.

Gary, I've made a back up of the site as of about 8:30 tonight. Sans the Temp/Movies/Cache folders. Give me a holler when you have some time.
