app.php is now accessible again. Yesterday the event we had was using a huge amount of resources and slowing the site down. I had tried to block the event via firewall, but I was playing whack-a-mole with the massive amount of IPs that were abusing the server. Anyhow, it stopped and everything is ba...

phpBB adds canonical tags to each page -- search engines to not index the session tag in urls

Not sure how this was able to happen, but the topic had a 'topic icon' assigned to it even though we have that feature disabled in phpBB. No other topics in the database had an icon set either...

Hmm, still hasn't sent out the notification email for my reply yet either.

I will continue to investigate.

Thanks for the feedback. I was trying to understand if this was a new problem, or had always been a problem.

Since I have been hosting the site for a year now and collected performance data over that time, I am willing to adjus...

It has now been fixed, not sure what went wrong. We use AutoSSL and reviewing the logs from yesterday the daily script acknowledged it was about to expire but for some reason did not issue a request for a new one...

That is next level awesome. Thank you for taking the time to share details about your workflow

Thanks for sharing this. Looking at those forums, they are both running phpBB 3.2.x which is for older, no longer supported versions of PHP. Applying updates to phpBB is honestly a major pain and why many forums end up out of date... But I am unsure what would cause this issue for them; I cannot thi...

I still have RGB PPU to send. Just checked Canada Post and it looks like I am able to send small package again. Will try to ship next week

Thanks fore reporting this!

Try it out now

There was no down time today.

We do not have full control of the nesdev.COM domain, which was down yesterday and not forwarding to nesdev.ORG

Has the logout issue been resolved?
