It seems that some members are getting various errors when trying to access the forum or even once logged in. It would be very useful if you could all post when you receive an error, providing the date/time and what the error message was. In this way I can try and resolve the issue with the hosting provider.
Thanks
at the moment, mine is ok
mine is ok too
Got no errors so far.
done it again at 11.20 am
shows Forum errors
Ed, are you trying to do something specific when it happens, or just browsing? Take it you got a you don't have permission error......
no, just brousing. Im at home working and using same pc. Same adress even on internet explorer or firefox give me same error.
even for the galary, it gives me same error
It gave me errors yesterday at about 2pm,coldn't browse the site.Today everything ok ;D
Thanks guys, I will check again with the hosting provider this evening.
There might have been some errors within the last hour as we were testing some things.
Hopefully things should be sorted now. The only problems that users may get is when going through a post that had an image that no longer exists. Some images there were uploaded in the gallery were later removed by the person who uploaded them.
The forum and the gallery have been upgraded. You won't notice any changes to the forum upgrade, but the gallery is now the pro version thanks to member donations, it has added alot of new functionality, like slideshows, personal galleries etc.
If you do come across problems let me know as things didn't go 100% but can't find any noticeable issues.
BIG Thanks for your dedication towards this fishing community skip and to all dose who contribute to this great forum.
Well said Fisheye. Our posting contributions is seen by all, but few people really know what takes to keep up the running of such a succesfull forum. I can only imagine. Big chears to Skip and co.

Thanks for the comments guys, permissions have now been sorted out on the gallery (found out that was one of the 'errors' that didn't show up straight away'. You can now leave comments, add your own personal gallery etc etc.
yes, the gallery is much better, much more with he page system. God job nick.
Thanks for your dedication Skip !!!
Well done Nik, great work ;)

Very nice skip,thanks for the upgrade ;D
There may be an issue for some people trying to upload pictures into the gallery and the system telling them they have exceeded their max space limit.
Am looking into it with the gallery developer and will revert back. Please bear with us for the time being, thanks.
Guys we've been having forum errors lately which I think has limited you all from uploading pictures. Please please post in here when you have problems or we won't be able to help you out as I won't be aware!
Thanks to Diplodus Sargus, Shanook and ggantno1 for highlighting there were gallery problems via PM but please do post in here.
Have arranged some of the code, let me know if you're still having issues/errors
Should now be resolved for good following another major change to increase available memory limits on the server.
still the same
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1024 bytes) in /home/nickpm/public_html/talk/Sources/Subs-Graphics.php on line 315
If you try and upload a picture that is too large you will cause a memory error.
Pictures cannot be larger than 1024px wide which will help reduce the problem.
However as there is still an issue I am re-tackling with the hosting provider.
Hi guys as said before from skip I had this problem as said by shannok I managed to upload some files but had to use an image converter to reduce the resolution and size of the pic from 3702x2304 to 800x600.
Hosting provider reckons he now has it sorted and I've done some further tests so let me know.
It should also auto resize pictures down to 1024 wide now for us, i just tried with some larger ones and it did.
When I enter the forum a sort of error is occurring. The Windfinder bit is overlapping the Recent Post's table. To tell you the truth it's not bothering me that much but I think it would be better if I report it.
Hi Kurt, it's a problem on smaller monitors 15 inch, using low resolution desktop settings like 800x600 or maybe 1024x768
It will display if the monitor is bigger or screen resolution is higher. Unfortunately it seems that the forum is unable to auto resize.
Would be interested to know your monitor size, resolution setting (right click on the desktop and select properties) and whether you are using Internet Explorer or Firefox
you're right skip it happend to me on a 15 inch 1024*768
on the 17 inch i had no problems
mine is ok
You hit the problem on bullseye. Mine is 15 inch 1024x768 using firefox. Thanks
Hi Skip,
I am trying to post a reply on a jigging thread, but reply is not uploading.
THanks
Rob
OK managed now.
Rob
got this error while browsing in the forums
The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you
If you weren't signed in you will receive that error as guests cannot see everything.
If you were signed in and followed the link from Google then you don't have access to the board where the issue is being discussed. There are certain boards restricted to premium and VIP members only.
What post/link were you trying to access?
http://maltafishingforum.com/talk/index.php/topic,1650.msg20277/topicseen.html#new
Thanks for finding a 'bug' for some reason new members could not access this board, but they should have been able to.....
Problem rectified, access granted :)
Another error when i am trying to view others profile says this
Many apologies, but you can't view just any profile.
That one isn't an error. Profile viewing is not allowed for new users to prevent online members being spammed etc. It wasn't working properly before but have now been sorted out with the latest software patch. Once you get to 20 posts these features will open up.
sry my mistake and thx for the quick reply
Hi skip I noticed that there used to be a modify for the post and an other one but now only the quote remains. did i do something wrong i.e touched any settings?
forget what i just said cause now they appeared, but werent there on other posts cause i could not amend the spelling. on the MFF competion i think its on purpose. ;D
Hey Skip,
Was trying to post a reply on "FISH NAME" thread, but reply is'nt uploading
Arti2 has locked that topic so no one can reply. I believe there was another post for replies/comments
Skip, I can't delete/modify my own post?
PM me the link of what you're trying to modify/delete. Thanks.
Forum crashed last night and database got corrupted. Only available working restore was 28th Sept, which means posts, new topics and everything else after that were lost. Sorry guys sometimes computers take revenge!
personal messages were lost from around the 27th August. As I note the size of the personal message data table is very big and might have contributed to the crash, can I ask members to click on My Messages and under Preferences select Prune Messages and delete ones older than 30 days.
It seems some people are getting a new message notification when there are none. Will try to look into this this evening after work.
Hi Skip, mine was showing that too, and was also showing "PM: 2" reference for the old messages that I had in the inbox. But this morning seems that everything is back to normal.
Thanks.
even mine. I emptied all my msgs. Also even some of my replies had been lost
tijaj ukoll hekk grali
Lost messages for sure occured both in the Inbox and Sent items. Are you guys still getting the new message notification or has this gone now?
message ok now.
thanks
It's gone Skip.
Trying to upload a picture but every time is giving me an error
mulett I think you have uploaded it 4 times by mistake...
The latest gallery pics feature is not showing on the forum page anymore,however i can still access the gallery..boq! i dont if maybe this was removed intentionally?
I noticed that after i tried to uplaod the pic. Still the pic is not showing on top but if one cliks on the X one can still see the pic.
Every time I tried to load picture all the time I recived an Error Message
Please don't upload pictures for now as you're uploading lots of duplicates until I can find out what is happening
Gallery issue sorted, sorry Baghira and Mullett75 you'll need to re-upload please
can we put them up now??????
Yep Premium and VIP members can upload pictures.
okies skip No prob mate.
Where did the weather forecast go!!!
as far as i know, skip removed it as it was jamming the index page. go to windfinder man all the same
Where does this windfinder man liva?????
Just joking mate.
I think WF have been having some problems lately so i temp removed it. I can turn it back on but if you find the main forum page takes long to load let me know.
Seems the datacentre where all the servers are suffered a catastrophic power failure causing most server to go offline betwen 14:59 and 18:33 local time. Power was restored within 30 mins on some servers but others including ours took longer to come up because once power was restored the hosting admins had to go round checking each one and bringing them back online which took more time.
The network still isn't 100% so it may be a bit slow for the next hour but hopefully will be back to normal by tomorrow.
