More Forum issues - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

A1990 · 11-18-2015

Last night our web hosting provider updated the PHP level of their servers. PHP is basically the programming code that runs the forum.

Unfortunately our forum's software is old enough that this newer level of PHP will not work with our version of vBulletin.

We have rolled the critical PHP files back to a level that works. We have also looked at upgrading our forum software but we are not hearing great things about vBulletin 5 (newest and buggy) or vBulletin 4.2

We continue to look at our options...

On the bright side, we have purchase the mobile suite for vBulletin, which works with 3.8.x, 4.2 and 5. This will allow mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets to have a better experience on our forum.

We will keep you posted as this develops.

Thanks

Ditto!

I am not receiving any notifications of subscribed threads anymore either. Other than that, the forum seems to be operating great.

I've not seen any subscription response either recently. Has the software perhaps changed to a "daily only" available and we all need to change the "instant" to another that might be the default now? The subscribed threads appear where one would expect and the more current are displayed with some options but "no notifications" for a very long time. I just changed mine from instant to daily to see if maybe just a change from one to the other might work. If I see one overnight maybe I'll just change it back to instant to see what happens.

Is anyone receiving "notifications"? I changed the timing of delivery trying to maybe force a change with no luck. I hadn't seen comments in the past few days and thought I'd ask.

Is it maybe the way it will remain?
