I'm still working on them. Unfortunately I didn't see they were down again until this morning and Vbulletin support is pretty slow. Hopefully I get a reply tonight and I can get it fixed tomorrow. We may go through another update though, as I've had a liscense for VBulletin 5 for years and I can actually update to that now. So we'll see what happens.
Yeah happened to me too. I was just checking publisher's sites as I do when I'm trying to avoid the dumpster fire that is the real world when I saw the new Little Book posted. So, continuing to avoid reality I came here to blab about it. But reality was waiting for me once I was done.
Dan, I feel your pain. Running an older version of vbulletin is treacherous.
Ask my son, or stroppygoblin.
Upgrading is even more fun.
Are there any publicly available CD discount codes floating around at the moment?
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
I'm hoping to attempt the upgrade to VB 5 today on a copy of the forums. Just waiting on the website people to set it up for me. If that works, and it doesn't crash after the day rolls over then I'll probably proceed with doing it to the live version. It seems like it should be pretty straight forward though. We aren't running any plugins or addons that we have to worry about loosing. The biggest thing will be the forum style, but I already had to rebuild our old one from scratch, so it shouldn't be the end of the world.
Good news. I have progress on the forums. Assuming they don't break overnight I'll be running the upgrade to VBulletin 5 tomorrow and we'll be back up and running. The upgrade seems to have worked perfectly in my test environment.
Ok forum update number 1,999... I solved the problem that was causing the original forums to crash this morning, but I'm going ahead with the update to Vbulletin 5 anyways, since it worked perfectly on my test environment. I figure might as well finally do that update since we paid for it like 6 years ago anyways. Should be back up and running in an hour or 2. They the appearance of the forums will be in flux for a bit as I take the time to tweak it to what I want it to be / look like.
Ok. It's back now. Hopefully for good. VB5 will take a bit to get used to, but it definitely is a more powerful piece of software. I'm still tweaking the appearance, but we should be useable now.

Awesome, Dan.

Thank you Dan! I'm trying to get used to the interface. One thing I've already noticed: nothing happens when you click the What's New button. Used to be you clicked that button and you'd get served all the latest posts across all threads. I liked that--that was my usual point of entry so I could join active conversations. I hope you can bring that back if possible. Again and regardless, thank you for restoring the forum. It's something we pay nothing for and enjoy.
For what's it's worth, the "What's New" button is working just fine for me.
Yep I fixed. Might as well move any discussion about the CD forums off of the DT board though. No reason to bog this thread down with suggestions and problems. You can post anything you find here.
