GRB Issues - Sorry!

Post by Michael »

Wow, what a horrible adventure I just had. Basically our database got corrupted today and I had to rollback GRB to last night's backup. The good news is I installed much needed updates to greatly improve the stability of the board. I still have some tweaking to do, but let me know if you see anything strange.

Prosilver users can change back by selecting the following: User ControlPanel ---> Board preferences --> My board style

In all seriousness I apologize for any inconvenience.


-Michael



EDIT - I took down GRB a 2nd time to tweak a few settings.

Well, that stinks.

My account was deleted.

Is there anyway the old threads from yesterday will be brought back?
Draft etc?

I assume not with a corruption.

I use Mozilla Firefox. when ever iItry to get into the forum a pop up comes up asking me:

Opening viewform.php

which is a microsoft digital image document from http:gatewayredbirds.com

it then asks what should firefox do with this file?

The only reason why I was able to get in here and ype this message was because I used windows internet explorer

Please advise.

Thanks

It is part of the effort to weed out non-sabr fans.

Same thing happened to me. Just clear your "privacy settings", it worked for me.

I had the same error, so I set the default option for Firefox to open .php files in the browser itself. This caused my browser to open tab after tab after tab of blank content, and was completely unstoppable. By the time I was able to get it closed, I had 86 tabs open.

This outage has set back the production of Chimpzombee for months. MONTHS!
