When I came into the forum tonight, it said my name was Reboot. When I clicked around, it said my name was Fanfic Lady. However, once I tried to make a post it told me I was not logged in. So I logged in and now it seems okay. Maybe user numbers are getting mixed up?

I wonder if it has something to do with the fact my screen name is not my user name. Should I set it to defaults?

Please don't log in until everything is back to normal. I've been at work all day unable to fix these issues.

The problem is a cache issue. The board is holding onto old data. I'll get this fixed as soon as I can when I get home.

Ok. I don't know if this appears to be working for anyone else, so please let me know otherwise.

I don't know what happened last Thursday that caused the board to cache everything on the server and show others logged in to various areas. Nor do I know what it appears to be working correctly now.

I had reached out to our hosting company and the makers of this forum software. Perhaps one of them fixed the issues, but everything I tried was failing.

My apologies for the inconvenience.

Yeah, sorry. That will probably happen for a few hours. It's a known glitch to one of the things that were tried to fix the caching issues.*

It should go away eventually. I'll start to panic when I see it happen tomorrow.

*Who's Online was one of the things I obliterated and rebuilt in order to try and fix "who was shown online." As a result, the database will need some time to readjust and rebuild that table.

Hey Gary, thanks for fixing whatever the problem was, as FC said above it must have given you a headache. Hope it's solved now and you catch up on your sleep. Thank you.

Sorry Cleome. You're not actually back. Some of the many EDE's appearing in Who's Who have formed distinct personalities and have modelled themselves as Legion Worlders & Legionnaires. Sorry to have to tell you, EDE Nam 'Lor.

Gary, hi, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but while I can reach here on my phone and laptop, my iPad still shows the error message.

Gary, hi, I've typed the address in, rather than using my bookmark but it still shows the 'we are having some major technical issues' and shows me as jfposey. Ive refreshed the page a few times but it's stayed the same. That said my iPad is one of the first and struggles with a lot of sites, can't do YouTube, shopping sites make it freeze and won't stream so it may be that it is just too old to play?

Try visiting a barely-visited thread, like this one on it. And make sure you clear out ALL the cache/cookies/etc.

I may have fixed the multiple who's online, so maybe that will help you.

Darn, got cocky. Nevermind.

Looks normal to me right now.

(Darn. I didn't think I'd beaten the cloned-poster jokes into the ground yet.)


OK, it looked normal for almost 3-4 minutes, I swear!

Also, this is what NC said in the shoutbox for anyone who missed what "came back" means:

The UBB developers have a version UBB.Threads 8 already in operation which should work with PHP 8 (hopefully, the latest build), but are working on the upgrading scripts, but they do this in their spare time (are not really paid by the owner of the software fulltime). Unfortunately, Hostmonster keeps changing it back to 8 now as I had to fix this again this morning...so I'll probably need to move to a new host or not have forums until UBB gets their acts together.

I only upgraded us to 7.7.5 since I wasn't sure exactly what the problem was at first. I really hope I don't have to move us and we can just upgrade to 8.0. The amount of work to move all of my websites and their software and databases makes me sick to my stomach.

Normally the board tuns so smoothly that it's easy to forget just how much goes on in the background to keep it running.

I don't really understand much of this, but thanks for everything you do, Nighty.

It’s good to be back! I assume thanks go to Nighty for resolving… whatever the issue was?

Thanks Nighty - what happened exactly?

Update - I can log in through one of my phones, but not my laptop or my other phone. Interesting

Yeah, sorry. At this point any place you can't see the real site is due to a cache issue.

Somehow our htaccess file got corrupted to redirect to alteatrosd instead of legionworld.net. I didn't do it. Our host company helped me fix it, so not sure how that could have happened.
