Forum Fix/Upgrade - Take 2
06.10.09 at 12:51:18
 
Alright, after all the Problems moving to V2.3, I decided to go for the gusto and installed the latest V2.4 Forum Software from scratch.

-- edit --

Alright, sent myself 3 EMails (1x Admin mode, 2x Forgot Password function) and it worked fine. Emails arrived within 3 Minutes.

Again, please test Email-based functions.
If that still fails, I'm seriously running out of ideas Lips Sealed

That's correct, had to revert to the backup from 2 days ago.

Sweet, we got new names. God member... kind of like it. Now, if only I could get my fiance' to recognize the name.  Tongue   Hope the upgrade has gone fairly smooth for you.

*g*

These are the standard YaBB Forum names.
Along with several other details (tweaks to Forum Layout, Logo etc) I basically didn't touch anything in order to make sure the very basics work fine first.

The upgrade was basically divided in two parts :
Sunday/Monday - epic failures Tongue
Today - apparently successful Wink

Ahh cool. Well glad today worked out for you. Sucks when things don't go as planned. Our Exchange server change over from Exchange 03 to 07 has been a nightmare. I've had dreams of servers falling from the sky and trying to dodge each one as they fall it's been that bad.   Tongue

Since automated pass recovery works fine now and seeing we get spam already it'd be fine is guest posting is disabled asap Tongue

Guest posting is disabled again but I didn't see any Spam so far (?)

(otherwise I may test how far the Captcha would need to be adjusted to become machine-unreadable; so far I left it 'clean' for ease of use)

No sweat, it would merely serve to test the Forum's own protection features.

Since we don't have guest postings anyway, no trouble Smiley
