Upgrades: Major Upgrade |
 |
I have just upgraded the website to (almost!) the latest version. It has been quite a task as I had to edit quite a lot of files by hand rather than just copy them over blindly. This is all due to to the fact that I'd altered so much of the code in the earlier version!
Hopefully security will be a little better. Of course, I couldn't just update it without altering some of the code! I've added some changes myself in the hope that security has been improved further. However, now that I've done all this I'm sure loads and loads of bugs are going to be found!!!
The forum software has taken a bit of upgrading too as part of the site upgrade so, again, the chances are that you'll find something broken somewhere along the lines!
So, be patient! If I find any glaring bugs I'll fix them as soon as I can. Meanwhile, if you find something no longer working as it should then let me know please.
Of course, if you suddenly notice anything that's fixed or new let me know that too! I haven't read through all the docs yet so I don't know how much has changed. I know I have some new options available but whether I can make use of any of them is another matter. ;)

Apologies to anyone who experienced problems accessing the website around 11pm last night. I upgraded the firmware on my router and had to make a couple of minor adjustments to make it all run smoothly again. The firmware update was required really as it has fixed a few minor bugs that very occasionally caused problems. It also increased the security of the firewall and that's never a bad thing. :)
Everything should be up and running again now and should remain that way until the next time I tamper with things!

Upgrades: My computer! |
|
It's not an upgrade! I overclocked my XP2600+ by raising the FSB to 175 and the memory to DDR420 on Sunday evening just to see how the system behaved. Well, I'd just like to say that it has run perfectly stable since then and the temperature has remained as low as when it's run at it's proper speed. I can't say that I've noticed any difference to when I ran it at it's rated speed but what the heck!
I thought I'd try it out since my overclocked XP1800 system seems to be quite happy running as a XP2000. Latter is most odd, when I had a XP2000 chip on this m/b I couldn't get it to run as a stable system, I had to lower it to a XP1800! Weird, very weird....

Upgrades: Guestbook |
|
| I just thought I'd point out that I have now got the guestbook working again! Not really an upgrade, pretty dull really! Still, no info was lost from the massive six entries! :)

Upgrades: Minor upgrade. |
|
| Although it doesn't mean anything to you lot I thought I'd be smug and add a bit of code to the 'Who's Attending' page. No longer will I get meesages from you saying that the date is wrong because I've forgotten to alter it, it now generates it itself! I'll be interested to see how it is affected on the Friday itself though so perhaps I'd better reserve my smugness until then! :)
While I was at it I added another bit of code so that I could clear all the names from the list in one hit; long overdue! Up until now I've had to clear names one at a time. I only had to add 4 lines of code, how lazy I was!!!

| I thought I'd let you know that I've just upgraded PHP from version 4.3.2 to 4.3.3 and MySql from 3.23.57 to 4.0.14b. The MySql upgrade is quite a major upgrade so I need to keep an eye out for any possible problems. If you notice anything misbehaving that was previously working fine please let me know asap. Thanks.

Upgrades: Changeover... continued! |
|
| I've now changed over the server system to Windows Server 2003 and have the website moved back over again. I haven't tested everything out just yet but indications are good. If you find something not working that was before please let me know asap so that I can fix it. Thanks for your patience.

Upgrades: Changeover... |
|
| Thought I'd just let you know that I have changed the server over to another machine (A K6-2 500 with 10 MHz lan card!) so please bear with me if you experience any problems. Everything should work albeit slowly. I'll change back to the original machine asap...

Upgrades: Server Maintenance. |
|
| I shall be taking the server down for a little while sometime shortly ready for some maintenance. In fact, it's a little more than just maintenance, I'm going to be formatting the drive and installing Windows Server 2003 in place of the currently running Windows 2000 Professional setup. I do have a standby server which I will probably put online for the time that I am working on this system. However, you may notice that it responds a little slower than this system and certain 'features' of the site may not work. There is the strong possibility that the mail server may be one of those 'features' affected so you may get error messages when you submit a new post. You may not be notified if there is a response either. This will only be temporary and as there has not been much going on in here of late this shouldn't pose too much of a problem.
