This Yabb forum has started to become buggy. Yabb doesn't work well with large post numbers and this has ultimately resulted in bugs showing up - users not getting email being the most obvious.

Also it is failing to register new members now and has been for several months off and on.

So most likely all existing posts and users can be converted into a different and more up to date forum.

Stay tuned.

Well that didn't go well!


Had to restore from a backup. The guy didn't know enough about servers and problems arose.

It is very important that we must keep a stiff upper-lip, think furiously of the meaning of life and everything, and retain an acute sense of humour, during times of great adversity...

..(...like problems with the Sim V Forum).... Shocked...!

At the moment, I don't envy Pete his job!

Ensuring that my Dinner doesn't catch alight in the Oven, fully occupies my mind at the moment!

Seems to be working at this moment ...... but not counting my eggs until I see it OK for the next few hours.


A lot of work and help sought on guru forums to get this fixed. All day yesterday and until now this has been almost non stop to get this fixed.


So we're back to square one as far as the conversion goes .... -- but I've never been more pleased to at least be at square one again. (hopefully!!)

Actually I would have not been so stressed if this were the case.

... I EMLOYED someone to convert the forums into a php forum ... turns out he knew nothing about server admin which is a crucial part of what was necesssary.

Quite a big thread at the yabb forum later, I finally found a solution to get it back to what it was before.


Conversion plans still in place ... just need to be more specific about the required skills next time.    Cool

Pete, we all know how hard you work on this site to keep everything running smoothly. I can only imagine the anger and frustration at paying to have work done and that work then unravelling all you own hard work.

I don't know anything about servers but what about a simulation a rehearsal ?
a mean why don't you copy the entire simviation yabb forum into another(s) hard drive(s)  and then make the conversion to php in other folder without touching the current yabb forum  Tongue

that way you would get stress in the case things wouldn't work fine ,and clock ticking wouldn't matter

I have always been curious as to how much actual memory space is required to store the whole content of an Internet Site, like Simviation, on a single Hard Drive, or similar device?

Yabb 2.5 = 7Mb = yes I said like seven megabytes

Simviation yabb plus PICs and text from all the members plus data base 100 mb to a thousand Gb ..I really have no clue  Grin

what I do know for sure its that simviation main site with the library is gigantic  Shocked

I don't think one hard drive even the biggest can hold it

take a look these two Pete's helpers did to the servers

Nice idea Alex but the server runs on a completely differnt OS and system to my PC's .. and it also would mean setting up a home PC in the same configuration as a web  server -- which has paths to various programs like mysql (e.g. - may be in folder1/folderb/folderc/) ... even the paths on a windows pc are different as they use \ instead of / ..... .. so you'd you need a linux OS with php, etc .... (some people do this)

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.
