Note, purely for interest, since I have no complaints, just saw from the invoice URLJet now seems to belong to Homepage Universe . Bad reviews here: http://www.hostsearch.com/review/homepage-universe-review.asp

Something messed up the email system from intpforum > mailer daemon > Hosts to me at least, so I can't reply to amything sent that way until they have sorted that.

To get styles ( themes ) for the style chooser below, we'll look here at first, https://xenforo.com/community/resources/categories/styles-2-x.45/?page=1 any particularly liked may be suggested. If free: any paid ones might be bought if someone wants to buy them, but I'd save your money...

There is so much to do to get it back to looking like the real one. Note we will look at add-ons, but XenForo version 1 add-ons won't work in this version 2.

K Recent message: My apologies I did misplace this ticket in queue and I barely, rarely ever do that! So I will make it a point to have it completed today, here shortly in fact (within the next fifteen minutes) please stand by for an update and I hope you can forgive me sir! Prolly best...

Still not heard since the 16th. Just added a polite nudge. As for people changing their names at the same time, probably not. After admins have had a short adjustment to the new, maybe any older member, from vBulletin times, can have a name change, however annoying name changes may be...

This may happen at any time, from tonight to a few days. I'll try to give enough warning, but the schedule is not up to me, and we are working with a ticket system of question and answer for information. I opted for complete back-ups ( restoration of the vBulletin forum if it goes awry ) and...

On the other hand, I note that while the ticket has the urgency Low I assigned ( High is for much more than this, as when with some previous hosts the servers went critical, and technicians had to 'enter the cage' whatever that means ), they have now set Status as Escalated. :king-twitter:

I can, if you can tell me, or the [ new ] INTPF coffers, how to accept it. Last word from our hosts was: Hi, Michael will get back to you on this. Please hold on. So I assume they're considering how to proceed. My last words to them were regarding payment, since if if suddenly took a...

Perhaps, but someone else would have to do it. Remind the admins at a future date to see if anyone is interested in that implementation. :cthulhu:

What did the Shakers ever do for us ? Indeed, and all stimulation will be avoided ultimately. However as I despise minimalist philosophy, and generally prefer the baroque and ornate --- but in a restrained style --- I would just call it quiet good taste. As now. And hopefully all...

NORMAL WYSIWYG IS BACK OK, after tedious research I came across a clue why the full posting stopped. Tedious because most enquiries in google...

And... I contacted URLJet to see what they would charge for the conversion to Xenforo. Have to give them my admin link temporarily, then they quote. Prolly a lot, excluding the Xenforo costs and add-ons. I natch prefer open-source, but the paid forum software is smoother looking than the...

Nice place. Maybe mutual links at some point after this place gets renovated ? ( Although, want to keep this Dark Castle style readapted by someone as the main style. Tradition is All. ) Our other styles aren't that great. I'll always recommend URLJet simply because nothing really...

I looked up Complex and in the results was this elegy thread for Central. http://forums.intpcomplex.com/showthread.php?2053-INTPcentral-Commemoration-Thread Mind you I hated their guts for a while.

Geez, Central died ! Honestly didn't know, since when I left ( as Claverhouse ) --- plenty of Sturm und Drang all round --- I never went back. But reconciliation of a sort happened when I was offered to be chief there by Mark who was very busy at the time, but it would have been wrong...

After 3, vBull went downhill with 4 and 5 ( plus they went to a yearly subscription model instead of it being yours ) which is why so many sites still stick to 3.8.x. I would never go with vBull again, just as I would never go with ( free of cost as it is ) WordPress which needs monthly...

Well, it's because few developers concentrate on forums, because they have been overtaken by social media --- which offers users far greater audiences, but less personal venues: rather like having a mass stage to sing from instead of singing in a room to friends --- and the big boys...

I've seen that since vBull was first installed *. However it costs a bit. * Lightspeed, the co-founder always thought it a poor software, but there weren't many decent forum structures back 10 years ago, and the selection hasn't got better.

OK. Dunno what happened, but I checked for malware, and so removed some js file, after which it came back clean. Still couldn't post though. VBulletin / googling not much help, but have instituted a temporary jury-rigged fix by substituting standard controls for posting options instead of...

No particular reason, and we are not connected with them, but a recent ... meltdown at one of Iceland's major hosting companies is sufficiently odd. Earlier I looked at email, a rare enough thing, and there was a takedown notice ( kinda ) for my blog, which is not something I now update...

Well, that didn't work. JavaScript stopped working. Restored directory.

Securi now clear. So, I considered that as I had already set YUI (Yahoo! User Interface Library ) to none, we'll see if there's any harm in removing the directory. I can put it back if everything stops. It's just a caching service run by either Yahoo! or Google on their servers, so it may or...

Hadoblado mentioned the mining problems in: https://intpforum.com/showthread.php?t=26938 I ran the site through Sucuri.net, showed two clientscript problems: https://intpforum.com//clientscript/yui/connection/connection-min.js?v=387 https://intpforum.com//clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js?v=387...

So for the menu one, which sounds kinda vital, I just overwrote it with a copy from the original files. Securi now says nothing.

Certainly no danger, yet running this site through Securi showed 2 problems, both javascript. Both MW:JS:GEN2?malware.generic_jsobfuscator.1.2 The same as the last time things there was a problem -- although nothing seems to be wrong now. One, reached through FTP, is the...

The hosts are in Cheyenne, Wyoming. URLJet. Best of all hosts. ... And not owned by E.I.G. like half of all [ American at least, then again Europe seems more geared to tiny VPS hosts ] hosting companies You ought to see the seal, by the footer.

There's now a Comodo Positive SSL for 3 years. Dinky little green logo on the left southwards. :angel01:

Moved to The Lounge.

Moved to The Lounge.

The database went missing around 8.00 UTC, too many mysql requests, but the hosts fixed it within about 10 minutes of being informed. They are very good. :cthulhu:

Hi you. Charming Angel print above... :D:D

You are very nice to say that. Glad you feel affection for the old place :cat::angel01:

Prolly. The padlock is on the main page but not this one. I would have liked to get the green bar, but that's just for EV SSLs. SSLs cost anything from $5 a year to $1,500. It's a useless parasitic industry --- but required --- like TLDs, when the only one needed anywhere is .com...

Only through a new forum software I imagine. vBulletin was never one for back-engineering anything ( partly lack of interest, partly to force one on to their next iteration ) and doesn't even patch in SSL support in 3.8.xx; perhaps not even in 4.x.x ( they are now on 5.x.x ). Of course PHP...

Dunno much about video, but all media stuff is handled by something called AME . It's been updated to the latest definitions and there's not much else that can be done. Disappearing and reappearing may be something to do with YouTube giving and taking away. Which is why I disapprove of...

Hmm, I had already added some FORCE SSL stuff to the .htaccess file. I looked at it again and saw the previous bits included http:// --- so I changed them to https:// and the smilies work again. :storks::storks::cthulhu::cthulhu::angel01::angel01:

Well, it's on, and changed in the vbulletin settings as well as in CPanel where installed. However much of the javascript is silly: but secure according to https://www.whynopadlock.com/check.php after changing Server Settings to use Google for Use Remote YUI It probably means checking...

OK, going to try out a free SSL certificate for a few months. If something doesn't work make it https://intpforum.com instead of http:/ And if it really doesn't work I'll uninstall it.

Thanks for mentioning it; hasn't happened to my page, so I don't know which they were aiming for. Actually the patch was only 3 files, tiny into one directory.: 37 kib in all.

Right. Upgrade patch done. :cthulhu::kodama1::cthulhu:

Sadly, vBulletin has refused to issue the files to upgrade to 3.8.11, unless a new licence was bought for eithe 4.x.x or 5.x.x In which case one would be better to use either of those having paid for one. Note, we have one of the last issued eternal licences. So I'll just patch it to 3.8.9...

After many years, last month vBulletin announced upgrades for the 3.8.xx series. This may impact some of the plugins and thus the functionality of the board. Nonetheless this will go ahead when our hosts determine. Obviously the forums will shut down for an hour or more: but since they will...

Tapatalk has been upgraded on the server again; on another forum I read that Tapatalk is now including advertisements ( except for paid Tapatalk ) --- so if you see them, they are never from here. :storks:

Greetings Sadly the forums were hit by a php malware usually seen in WordPress and Joomla. MW:JS:GEN2?malware.generic_jsobfuscator.1.2 This affected javascript working at the least. The hosts kindly rolled back to the 15 May --- which took about 12 hours --- as the first blacklist...

Actually, here's the Tapatalk update log for those interested in changes. :angel01:

Tapatalk has been upgraded to the latest version for this vBulletin install. From looking at similar instances, you may have to log out and then back in if you are using Tapatalk. Go with God. :cat:

Re: Recent forum outrage - "Account Suspended" Every now and then I take a database backup --- but this is more in the nature of supposing the Taliban nuclear submarine force takes out Kansas sometime --- because URLJet takes hourly backups. And they actually do. The web is a whole new...

Re: Recent forum outrage - "Account Suspended" It took me a time to pay the hosting fees; but URLJet is a good dog. Hope there was no inconvenience.

Nope. No ad revenue, or any other revenue. Actually we might have a pledge drive sometime to help pay for the site, but that would be voluntary donations which would not affect those who gave or those who couldn't. I'm only guessing there may be ads from Tapatalk itself: if there are...
