A quick report for all. Something has happened to the web hosting for this forum and sometimes an error is generated. It's only a temporary problem and nothing can be done about it for the time being. All that you can do for now is to refresh the page or go back to a previous and refresh again.
Also, no emails are being sent out at the moment.
I'm having to email new members and activate accounts manually at the moment. Just trying to avoid the bots and spamming accounts.
Oh my!!! That bad!?! Thank goodness for PH.
Has the look of the forum changed?
UPDATED: Now we can insert embedded YouTube videos!

obviously
someone tidy it up, thanks!
Howdy folks, I've been quite busy with work, but I've managed to update the forum today! There were a few minutes where both visguy.com and visguy.com/vgforum displayed NOTHING which scared the crap out of me, but in the end it's all reawakened!
I created a test account and I did, in fact, receive the verification/activation email. Hopefully this will fix the password reset email problem as well!
Nice look! Login issue resolved. Navigation issue resolved. Some new features, eh!?! Will have to explore.
Nice to have a smoothly running forum again.
Many thanks Visio Guy!!!
I just figured out how to re-enable the LIKE feature. Please keep an eye out for missing stuff.
Looks like the YouTube "BB Code" button is there, good.
(from 2007!)
Is code syntax-highlighting working properly?
the left one? works.
the right one: where are the logos?
That might be "avatars". I saw a warning during the upgrade...might need to re-activate something.
Ok, I had to create a custom avatar directory, then upload an image. I guess users will need to re-choose/create their avatars. Or use Gravatar, or enter a URL to point to an image.
Even though my forum profile showed my picture, I had to reload it to get the forum to use my picture. And I've had to reset my time zone. Planet Zog is not listed so UK will do for now.
It all looks very bright and modern (I mean the forum, not the UK or planet Zog).
There's a URL avatar-option for the lazies amongst us!
Sorry @wapperdude and @hidden layer, I couldn't resist fiddling with your profile pics! :) ;)
Happy to remove them at your requests!
Now I want one too. ;)
But something is still wrong with the SSL Certificate... I always need to deactivate my Cloudflare VPN to access the forum ;)
I love it. Thank you.

@TBA, I don't have SSL/https yet. Have been trying to figure it out without tripling the cost of the website.
No apology needed. I liked what you chose, except I kept getting hungry.
I had an avatar...catches my essence...4 eyes, pot belly-ish, balding.

Yeah that WHOPPER looked real tasty, didn't it!
I'd like to do a like on this but there is no like button, like. Like, anywhere.

I just found the setting and turned it on!
Regarding the 👍 button: I believe it used to indicate whom did the liking.
Noticed that at the bottom where info re people online that there is this:

Good thought Paul, but the Forum software says otherwise. And, FYI, you don't have any buddies either! 😩 😄😄😄
Hello Chris,
was checking one of your old articles and found that only the title is displayed.

Would be pity for this good stuff.

I was wondering whether you could understand what I wrote. ???
Yep. Understood. Even if it was an old, archaic form of English. 😂😂😂. Jolly good, ol' chap.

Thanks for finding this! The code/syntax highlighting plug-in was whacking all of my code-containing posts. I've switched to a new plug-in, not sure if I need to re-edit all of the code posts...

We are now https!
Wow, very cool. Now this forum also works well on mobile devices. Thanks for your effort!
The latest update has stopped the plethora of spam accounts that were being created. 20+ per day down to none. Must have been a security flaw that was allowing this to happen. Even so, 90% were from one certain country. My own website is being attacked now. Ho hum.
Your count needs correcting...I had to delete 1.
