phpBB - Nyah! Nyah! Nyah!

What's black and white with varying shades of grey and just won't fucking work right? My web forum! Yesterday I was all happy that everything seemed to be working properly. Today, I tried to log into my administration panel only to discover that I've been locked out. No, it's not hacked, it's a critical error affecting Version 3 of the board software which, because of my custom layout, I get to fix manually by tweaking the code to 77 individual files and FTPing them to the pertinent directory.

Tell me again why I wanted this little toy on my website? After this is all said and done, I expect you to all register accounts on it - even if for no other reason than to tell me what a dumb fuck I am!

Boring Board update

Since the fixes for the errors were becoming increasingly convoluted, I just said, "fuck it," uninstalled the board, reinstalled, patched and went through the process of setting everything up again. Unfortunately, any registrations and posts that were there are gone now, so if you were registered, your profile no longer exists and you'll have to re-register.

I suppose I should consider it a small blessing that I didn't have to burn and rebuild an established board with hundreds of members and thousands of threads. Hopefully that will never happen and this new installation is far more stable than the old.

Feel free to play guinea pig.
