Lol. Okay thanks. I was trying to figure out why I first couldn't see my credits, and then I oculdn't view the shoutbox. I was on when you updated it. amazing! No downtime. I was posting while you were doing it. So I am impressed. Keep up the good work. I will look forward to that shoutbox again! Thanks for the updates.

Hmm... No wonder I didn't see the shoutbox yesterday. I was thinking I was banned, but I overruled it since it happened before. It's not that disturbing, thankfully...

Just wanted to know if we were going to upgrade to IPB 2.1.7, personally I think it would do use some good, because it has a virus scanner built in, and protects from SQL injections and malicious stuff.

Read the IPB information for more of what the specifics do, but it would really come in handy. The only problem is we would have to fix all the mods and rewrite the scripts I'm guessing. :|

With IPB having released another update, it has been reccomended that no further progress will be made until we have got the new update to work. Whatever it may be.

I'm assuming that this is what OpaQue is doing... so I wouldn't ask about getting new stuff up just yet...

Ok...its been like 1 week, and I know that the admins are busy and stuff. But when is the report button going to be fix. If you need to install that mod, I can do it, just give me temp access and it will be done in like 5-8 minutes. It took me 6 mins on my site, to get the thing totally config'ed to my settings and manual skin edits and all.

Anyways, what else is down for the moment?

That's IPS for ya... always patching and updating and evverything, and in the end just annoying all of their customers.

I personally think that IPB is pretty much comparable to Microsoft - they both use the same strategy (get things up quickly and then start releasing loads of patches ). And just when you think everything is sorted...

    drive on that very same day and I had requested Yratorm to open the topic at 5:30 IST PM instead of
    AM. The credits would be added to the members again. Initially, I was ignoring this issue because
    I didn't expect so much of dissatisfaction by some members. Also, I have been working on a new
    clustering project for a client's site. The credits awarding thing is a very t...

    Hello Members, Trap17 Forums have been upgraded to Version 2.2.1. During this upgrade, We had to

    We had two options. To continue ignoring the error messages or re-do the installation with manual
    update of SQL. We thought, it is better to ensure a proper installation by compromizing few posts
    than risking the forum's integrity. --Please update us with any errors you encounter.--

    best to optimize it and I hope, the forums are smooth again. You might have observed a small
    downtime recently and wierd results with the MEMBERS ONLINE statistics. That was because, we used IP
