Thanks Chris

Good work Chris. Lucky I didn’t have to fix it. I’d have all the wiring pulled out looking for a blown fuse!

Did anyone check to see if the switch was turned on? :laugh: :laugh:

FYI, server is having a lot of issues at the moment partly due to the guys that control the servers doing upgrades, I have noticed this morning that the site once back on is running a lot quicker so It could be a little pain for a lot of gain hopefully, they have also asked me to remove the google search on the site which I have done, this should only be temporary, basically the amount of hits from BOTS went through the roof and was killing the server. I am also in process of taking a full backup of site just in case, total size of site is now over 1.5GB.

Funny but sadly true King :laugh:

Thanks Chris, I know how much work you have put in to fixing this and chasing the server hosts. It is appreciated

I’ve gotta say I think we have done pretty well over the past 3.5 years, considering some horror stories I have heard about other forums etc,

I have also now upgraded the forum software to the latest v1.7 if you spot any issues post in this thread as I need to go and do real work now..

The Kunena team has now released Kunena 1.7.0 as a native Joomla extension for J! 1.5.23, J! 1.6.6 and J! 1.7.0. This is a security release and replacement† for Kunena 1.5 and 1.6 and all users are recommended to upgrade to Kunena 1.7.0. Backup and testing are strongly recommended! K 1.7.0 makes all previous releases of Kunena obsolete and all users of prior Kunena releases are urged to upgrade as soon as possible.

Kunena 1.7.0 announces the end of support for Kunena 1.5.

Support for K 1.5 will cease one month after the release of K 1.7.

In order to achieve interoperability with all of J! 1.5, J! 1.6 and J! 1.7, several important matters in Kunena have been attended to before the next major release of Kunena 2.0 later this year. Some users of third-party templates written for older versions of Kunena will find that their templates may not work with this latest release because changes were necessary in order to fit with the new J! 1.6/1.7 CMS. In particular, many of the third-party templates written for K 1.6 in its early stages will cause problems. If in doubt, please contact the authors(s) responsible for those things.

At this time all previously-released add-on extensions for Kunena have been updated and will need to be separately installed. As with all other releases, K 1.7.0 is available for download on the download page.

I was starting to think the server is powered by KTM.

I’m guessing it wasn’t a UID-10-T problem, or the old flux capacitor needed rebooting.
