Board server problems (2nd June).

[Kyle]

Yeah I am also having difficulties. Standard text posts seems to be fine but if I link a pic it comes back with "Internal Server error"

Not only pics, but links too.

I received an PM from Paulbot that appeared in my e-mail but has not yet appeared in my inbox... we're organising tmrw on sms instead

[Robzy]

Not only pics, but links too.

+1 on both counts!

There are two different IP addresses resolving. Which is right?

72.52.215.34 or 216.193.213.26

Should be 72.52.215.34
I tried to look it up on a IP search, but couldn't find it to verify.

Yep, me too.

Hey Warp they're not wiped. They're just on the old server.

I have a technique that can allow people to visit the old server if need be. Lemme know if that is useful to anyone.

EDIT: And posting anything with a URL (image or link) results in a 500 Server Error

+1

workaround for hyperlinks now is not to use the "Insert Link" button but just paste it on the post and then remove the "HTTP" text, leaving www.blah

havent figure it out for images yet..will try it out and post solution here

Have attempted to auto-repair the tables/database, and will be installing the new version of vbulletin to see if this fixes the board related issues. The 'no frills' server host I am with has been contacted again, and am still waiting for their response on the server connection issue. Have also asked them if they were doing any server changes or alterations recently.

It seems that we have two different problems, that may or may not be related - accessing of the server, and posting/messaging functions.
The upgrade may fix the posting functions if they are not related to the server IP issue.

I may have to take the board offline when I do the upgrade tonight when I get home (after Midnight eastern time).

Beware...Paulbot has taken control over at the "old dimension"...declaring war against the "new dimension"
