New forums

[patio]

Just out of curiosity how large is the current database ? ?

[Computer Hope Admin]

Excluding attachments it's not much more than 100MB I believe, but there are several thousand small files. Compressed as a backup it's only around 40MB. It's not that big and I've read some posts on SMF of users with bigger databases able to complete it successfully.

While trying to find any possible problems with the new forums that may be causing the post conversion not to work. I did notice that every single user was a FAQ Moderator. So hopefully it's just the independent groups that is causing all the grief. To test this I'm going to remove the two independent groups "FAQ Moderator" and "Forum Moderator" in attempts to fix this issue.

So any user with these privileges are going to temporarily get them removed. While I try to convert the forums again later today. I apologize ahead of time for users with these rights, just shooting in the dark trying to get the forums converted.  :-?

Thanx for all your efforts to improve the Forum....and Good Luck !

Thanks again this time I'll make sure to also cross my toes and not just my fingers.

Nathan, can you not attempt the conversion with an offline local copy of the YaBB database?

Okay, I don't know if this was addressed, but I have to ask: Where did the mod powah go? I have no authority on the forums anymore.

Not sure I believe reading that the databases needed to be on the same machine and or linked to where you could access the offline machine from the server with SMF.

Yeah this was addressed earlier (few posts up), the post:

Sorry. I've been sick, and on medication. Brain not fully engaged.

(Note to self: Kill Health teacher for thinking Bronchitis is not contagious. Now I have it, and it settled in my ear, of all places. And I'm prone to ear infection. This ****ing hurts! )

[Computer Hope Admin]

Ugh that doesn't sound like fun. I guess this *fun* conversion is better than what you're going through Dilbert.

Dilbert, your not supposed to lick her tonsils.
Ever watch MythBusters on the Discovery channel? Tested: Proven: The human mouth contains, by several orders of magnatude, more bacteria than a dogs mouth. So if you wouldn't stick your tongue in a dogs mouth...........

[Dilbert]

But I never kissed her *shudders*, I only got coughed on when I turned in my C++ project as homework.

Exerpt from article on Mayo Clinic site:

The same viruses that cause colds often cause acute bronchitis. But you can also develop noninfectious bronchitis from exposure to your own or someone else's cigarette smoke and even from pollutants such as household cleaners and smog.

Educate your Health teacher.

Unfortunately the forums will be going into maintenance mode again within the next hour. My last two attempts continue to get into a loop, which I believe is being caused because of the new members and posts being created. During this time the forums will be inaccessible, sorry for the constant downtimes over the last few days. Just trying to get the conversion to successfully complete.
