What is going on?!

[Ashleg]

So, it started crashing and there was weird text at the top of the screen, and now some of the boards are gone! What's happening?

I took a screenshot. This is how it looks for me: (sorry if you can't see the image)


Oh, and nobody's' profile pictures are showing up!

*shrieks*

The software the forum runs on is outdated.

Extremely outdated.

I have the same problem. The forum is being strange, and I dearly hope it gets resolved soon.

[Ashleg]

Do you guys think they'll fix it?

[BadgerLordFiredrake]

Is anybody able to log out?

I don't think they'll be able to unless they have SSH access (or at least FTP)

[Skyblade]

So the software may be outdated. Why would the forum crash now of all times?

For the technically inclined

http://php.net/manual/en/migration55.deprecated.php

I'd assume that PHP (automatically?) updated to 5.5.X from a lower version.  Why or how, no clue.

from further investigation, we're using PHP 5.6.X

If you click the thing called "Redwall Discussion- Spoilers" it will collapse or expand it. That's what you did. But yeah, I can't see pics either.

[Ashleg]

Okay ha, gotta fix that.
But what about all that weird text up on top? Can I make it go away?

[James Gryphon]

I have no idea what's wrong, but I'm experiencing the same thing.

If Matthias can't fix it, then I'm sure he'll contact the server admin for help.

In the meantime, while we're experiencing technical difficulties, we still seem to be able to post and PM okay. So, there's no need to panic just yet.

[BadgerLordFiredrake]

Could we also upgrade to the latest version of SMF?  xD

[Jukka the Sling]

It also set my forum time to six hours ahead of my time zone.

[Groddil]

I keep getting the text up the top and whenever I post, I have to refresh or it doesn't post.

[Rusvul]

Okay, good, it isn't just me.

Wait, that isn't actually a good thing.

Good luck, Matthias/server admin! Hope you can fix things!

Also, every time I post, this text pops up three times:
