Site Downtime

elbie · 05-14-2017, 11:05 AM

Only been a member here a short time and coming up to the lake to fish June 10-17th. I just want to let you know that this site is great in that it provides not only a link to info. on Winnie but having recently bought a small cottage on a lake in Ct. has proven to be most valuable in answering questions concerning issues that I may encounter there. Examples: Docks and heating issues. Thanks again!

I'm on an identical forum in Florida and it doesn't hold a candle to the Winni Forum

Thanks for the feedback. I made some changes late Sunday night that required some SSL certificates to be reissued. It looks like the problem you had was at 11:15 last night, which was right in the middle of those changes. Firefox seems to be displaying the site normally this morning.

UPDATE:

I spent most of the weekend trying to work out some issues that were caused by the server upgrade. I expected some problems since some of the software I use is old and incompatible with the new system (specifically PHP 5.6).

The good news is that most of the site is now working normally but there remain a few problems that I will work out over the next week or so. These are the problem areas that are disabled for now:

1. Photopost
2. Blogs
3. Advertiser's console
4. Forum "Thank You" add-on

Sorry about these problems but the upgrade was necessary to move forward. All new versions of the forum software require PHP 5.6 so I was stuck on an old version until I could upgrade.

Thanks for your patience. I'll get everything fixed as soon as I can.
