CactiGuide

Post by DaveW »

I know a few here are also on CactiGuide and probably wonder why it is off line as I write this. I contacted Tony Mace who also hosts their board and received this email:-

"We are having extreme difficulty in moving it to the new server. Unfortunately some of the code which Daiv wrote is not compatible with the new version of pHp. Another attempt at the move is currently under way."

It was down a week ago too. Was that the first attempt of moving?

I'm not a member, but often visit Cactiguide, and wondered why it was offline. Thanks for the explanation, DaveW!

Yes, but though I can read it I still cannot log in to post since I simply get a lot of code above the log in form and when I try and log in it does not work. I forwarded the problem to Tony Mace.

Clearly, it has been re engineered to prevent Daves. Wrong move imho.

Probably so Lithos, my reputation precedes me! :twisted:

Just had an email back from Tony in case anybody else is getting them:-

"I seem to remember a similar thing when we first switched the BCSS site. I think I can switch off these advisory error messages. I cannot deal with it today but I will have a look tomorrow."

I had not heard of this site until this thread. What does the forum offer that this one doesn't, may I ask?

Nothing special. Some other people, that aren't on this one. As simple as that. :lol: :lol:
