We are back again - IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

[Guest Close Quarterbore]

OK, let me post this again...

The site is running again and the problem looks to have been an issue at the hosting company or our server (The hosting company and I really don't know for sure what caused this).

So, we are running again and I actually had the site running earlier but the scrip that I had wrote to put the database back from the backup ran twice so I no sooner got everything fixed and the darned database got overwrote with the template issues again...

At this point I have a new upgraded forum installed and ready for our data but that is a several day process that I can not do at this time. So, over the weekend I will try to upgrade us to the new version of the software and I will be making some changes at that time.

I think that everything is stable at this point and the darned script that did the overwrite has been removed from the server so that it will not do this to me again....

Please report any problems or error messages....

OK, I think most everything is back up and running...

I plan to do a site upgrade on Saturday and when I do there are a few additions to the site that may be going away as follows:

The Bookie program:

This looked like a decent script to get more people hanging out on the site but this little addition added a lot of overhead to the database and at this point I an just not planning to add it again after the update.

Trouble Ticket System:

The trouble ticket system is a very rough script that has a huge number of bugs that most members do not see but impact the Sr Staff. The trouble ticket system will likely be replaced with an alternative system at some point as I do not have the time to fix the issues that that script has.

TS4MS Points software:

I am trying to decide if there is another way to get the same results of this points software without it taking me half a day to add that code each time we need to upgrade. I have worked to get the classifieds to rely on these points so in all likely hood I have little option but to spend the day integrating these again but I will be looking for a long term solution in the future.

The rest of the Extras will remain:

Other additions will be back again including the photoserver, chat server, custom pages for the private groups, resorts database, ebay pages, member maps, new reviews system, etc... I will also be working to include our new style and look that was started here on the upgraded board....

Members keep in mind that if you have people on your ignore or friends list list you may have to re add them again.

That is a bit premature.... It may be needed or it may not...

Regardless, that will not be an issue until next week.
