board issues...

[Marx]

My apologies folks, the board underwent an 'unintentional upgrade'. Seriously, it did!
I attempted to upgrade using my test forum, but accidently left the 'live' (this) forum's database details in the configuration file, hence this got 1/2 upgraded and the test board got half upgraded too. So realising what I'd done, I made this a full upgrade so as it would behave more suitably.
Over the next few days, i'll be working on resolving all the issues you may happen upon. In the meantime, please report any issues to the help forum so I can find them easier. If they're here - they can easily get lost amongst updates.

Thanks, and sorry!:slap:

Karl,

I thought I'd been banned! (Well, you know...)

Got this screed when trying to log on --- (hope it's helpful technically) ---

The reason for that is the page you went to belongs to the 'old style' (phpbb) forum. It's address is:
http://forum.mathews.me.uk/index.php

It is also beyond dead.
The files no longer exist and the database has been wiped. So you're seeing a former page (index.php) and it was pointing to a deceased database... well, the database exists, but none of the data to it exists.

thanks for the info though, i'll remove the dead page and a 404 error will replace it and auto direct to new site.
