Downtime, I'm really sorry. T_T Options

Sometime after I did the upgrade to version 2.1.14 the forum just stopped working and started giving error messages. I still really don't know why because it worked for a day or so after the upgrade was finished and many of us were able to post here. A helpful person at the IPS home forum gave me a template rebuild tool and after I ran it a little while ago things seem to work again. IPB probably deserves some of the blame for not getting their upgrade process foolproofed, but I'd just be dodging the issue and feel free to throw things at me for messing up again. Just try to avoid the pointy objects ... mee sorriess ... T_T

IPB did send around a notice advising all of their customers to upgrade to the new version, so I suspect that the other forum that you mentioned also did it as well and at around the same time that I did. Custom skin layouts have much of the core BBS code within each one of them, so each one is almost like a separate BBS in itself. When an upgrade is provided, it only updates the base IPB default skin layout and none of the other custom ones. All of the others I had to delete, although I did re-install the Goldewine layout that we were using just so that I could test it with my own account. When I feel comfortable that I can safely use it again, I'll turn it over to the forum default again.
