Server upgrade

[thomas]

Dear valued Members,

we shall apply a few server upgrades tonight, so there might be occasional hickups, a little downtime and a few error messages thrown. Kindly disregard them and keep your fingers crossed.

Thanks for your understanding.

Thank you for all the hard works for all of us, Thomas.
I always appreciate that and am sure other members too.

Thanks Undrentide-san!

Now, we run on PHP 5.3.23, Mysql 5.5.30, and Apache 2.4.4.

We can always fall back on Facebook , LOL.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there's no downtime.

Thank you very much thomas for keeping us updated and for all your hard works.
I have a nub question, Does PHP mean that different type of boards other than vBulletin?

 

[thomas]

Unfortunately not, Hezam. We have just updated some of the basic server packages to their latest versions. The forum upgrade is a totally different issue.

 

[Hezam]

Thank you thomas, i'm happy to hear that because vBulletin is the best

 

[thomas]

Yes Hezam, they were in fact, until 2008, when they were taken over by venture capital. Check out vB5 at their website.

 

[Hezam]

vB5 looks worse than what i imagined !

That, and the fact that the new functionality is basic at best. Their main page takes up to 20 secs to load.
