Strange Behavior

[dusty]

The forum is acting rather strange.

Check the posts in the thread entitled "Best Bearings Available". Several of them have no text.

I have also been unable to respond to some threads with quotes. I get a message standing that the text is too short.

I have attempted to attach a screen print to this post and it is being rejected.

There was a point yesterday I could not access the site and when I finally did I got a long error message whenever I tried to upload to the site.

Here's what mine looks like - Just like Paul's, but a lot longer.

I get this stuff at the top of the screen when I first load the forum. From there it appears t the screen top periodically. No special references. Just an irritant.

I am getting that too, (I am using the Subsilver2 board style). Also on pages that the error code shows at the top the type size is several sizes larger, the next page of the same thread will be back to normal.

It would appear that Admin has done an update on the PHPbb software.

A Google search on revealed.

The new version is using PHP7 (PHP:Hypertext Preprocessor7) which was introduced in 2015. It is said to run 15% faster than the previous version and also use less memory.

The offending instruction (preg_replace(): with the /e modifier) was Depreciated in PHP5.5.0 (2013) and removed in PHP7 (2015) as it is a security vulnerability.

So some of our PHPbb code will have to be modified to replace the offending instruction.

ps I tried to include links in the above but it caused the "your message includes too few characters" error and wouldn't post. so the editor is affected.

Apologies to all. A system update changed the systems behavior in a way that is causing problems in the forum.

I will be installing updates that will fix it.

[admin]

I've applied a patch that should fix everything that was broken in the system update. Please let me know if you see anything that is still has problems.

Thanks, Admin. Especially for fixing it on a holiday-weekend Sunday -- way above and beyond the call of duty!

The "youtube" BBCode is still not working. The error line at the top of the screen reads as follows.
