    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Yes, I know there is a problem uploading photo attachments to threads. This is particularly an issue in the classifieds section.

I have asked both the server techs and my programmer to take a look at it. I suspect an update in the server level OS software is the cause, as there were some updates done just prior to the problem showing up.

As for an ETA as to when it will be fixed? :shrug01: Wish I could tell you that.......
 
Still broken. No word from any of the techs giving any indication that they even know what the cause of the problem is. :bandhead0
 
Working.

Well hell. Last message I got from the server guys was that they were waiting to hear back from Cpanel about how to address the problem. In the meantime, ALL my vBulletin based websites were down hard since around 5:30pm EST.

Yeah, THAT was pushing my blood pressure through the roof!

As for who or what fixed it all, beats the living hell out of me. Best I can tell, unless Sinan came in through the server itself, he hasn't been in here. And the last correspondence from my server people didn't give me any clue that they were expecting a fix any time soon.

Again, beats the living hell out of me....... :shrug01: :shrug01: :shrug01:

Wish it had been that simple. Last reboot of the server took place 4 days ago, on 02-23, which coincides with when the problems BEGAN. So obviously the update, which required a reboot at that time caused the problems. There was no reboot, which a "pulling the plug" would have initiated at any time since that date.

As to who fixed it and how, still not a clue. :shrug01:
 
Well, the server guys tell me that Cpanel did an emergency update to fix this problem, so obviously I wasn't the only one impacted by it. Odd thing is that there was no server reboot. And all my vbulletin sites were down, but none of the other sites were not affected.

So I guess whatever patching they had to do didn't require a reboot of the server, but still odd that the vbulletin sites were dead in the water for such a long time.

I don't know why this stuff hasn't killed me yet from the aggravation.
