Forum Restored

elorg — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 20:41:07 +0000

All fixed! Well, for now. If you had an account on the forum, you can login and start posting again. I still need to finish up a few things like add plugins and themes, but otherwise, it’s functional again.

Enjoy!

Forum Back Online

As of today, the forum is back online.

Unfortunately, I gave up on migrating the old data over. There were too many discrepancies between Vanilla and bbPress database table structure and requirements. Renaming/rearranging the tables are easy enough, but I don’t have the experience or time to try to make work-arounds for the more complicated discrepancies that I found, and then hope that it doesn’t break anything. I did give it a try though.

We didn’t have any critical data on the forum, so I figured that it wouldn’t hurt too much to start from scratch. It has a very similar layout to previous incarnations, and the access has been restricted similarly as well.

I installed bbPress since it integrates with WordPress a lot easier and more dependably than Vanilla does.

Your old account will still work unless it was removed due to complete inactivity. You can login through WordPress here on my website’s front page, or directly via the forum – both access the same user information.

WordPress Updated; Forum Still Not Functioning

WordPress has been updated. Not surprisingly, this did not seem to affect the (non)functionality of the forum at all. I’m looking into finding another solution for the forum now.

Not Again!?!?!

Looks like the forum’s cookies are broken on the forum again. And again, nothing has changed so I don’t know why it happened. I might start looking into migrating to bbPress again because this is just getting ridiculous.

More Upgrades and Tinkering

Please continue to pardon the appearance. I’m working on upgrading the forum and thinking about going with a whole new script that can be more easily integrated with WordPress. Meanwhile, I’m still trying to get the site design the way I want it in my spare time, and looking at adding more features to the site as well.

Meanwhile, check out my Twitter updates below for more frequent information on what I’ve been up to.
