Online again...

[Skybuck]

The forum may have been down since 28 november 2022 because the web hoster used a newer php version.

For now an older PHP version is selected.

Forum may/should be updated to a newer php version. For now/today I will let it be ! =D

Maybe tomorrow I investigate upgrade possibilities... especially for this mod...

Apperently the forunm was down again... unknown how long it has been down, I noticed it since a few days since: 20 february 2023.

Apperently the webhost re-configured the PHP settings from an older version to a newer version and the older version was removed.

So I had no choice anymore but to upgrade the forum software to the latest version. Unfortunately this causes the nice pascal coin graphics to be gone...

Maybe later in the future I will restore it, for now, let it be... OK, new theme installed ! I hope you like it ! =D I DO ! =D

Further digging into my webhost information:

12 december 2022 all settings were updated to new settings possibly causing forum to have gone down...

31 januari 2023 support for old php version completed stopped, so this would mean forum was down at least since 31 january 2022.

So end conclusion seeing my earlier posting, timeline of events:

12 december 2022 forum went offline by setting change by webhost.
27 january 2022 forum brought online by Skybuck.
31 january 2022 forum went offline by php old version dropped by webhost.
20 february 2022 forum brought online by Skybuck, through upgrading to new SMF version.

Total estimated down time:
19 days in december 2022
27 days in january 2023
20 days in february 2023

Total days down time: 66 days.

Percentage for a year/365 days: (66/365.25)*100 = 18% down time

Now a good track record for PHP or this webhost... they did give me enough time to upgrade... but why wasn't clear... and what is wrong with the older php version... kinda shady... now new issues exist with e-mail/mail... hmmmm...

23 february 2023 SMF notified of e-mail/mail problems, working it out with them/him concludes it's most likely not their issue, but webhost issue.
23 february 2023 Webhost contacted via special option to seek help from specialist, problem by me clearly described:

Hopefully webhost respond soon with solution !
