I came back to the site today after being away for a while. I had several problems trying to register. No "picture" appeared that I was supposed to read and fill for security purposes. I figure out that I actually did have a user name but got many confusing messages when I tried to log in. Later, I noticed I WAS logged in. I tried to ask Simple Machines for help, and they said to contact the web site owner. Simple Machines runs the site, don't they?
Would someone mind checking the registration and log in processes?
Addendum: I also get strange messages when I try to post.
Richard,
I saw the problems also and checked the web host. I saw that they did a sql update a week or 2 ago and that coincides with the site errors. It seems that when one logs on or posts, errors will show up, but if you go back to homepage, you will see that you are logged in and your message/reply did post. Not sure what root cause is or how to fix it. Maybe Rich will work with Web host to fix it, but seems to work ok, just a little confusing.
I'm having the same problem get this message everywhere:
Deprecated: preg_replace(): The /e modifier is deprecated, use preg_replace_callback instead in /home/pears3/public_html/forum/Sources/Load.php(225) : runtime-created function on line 3
I also noticed that the spammers have gotten in (MichaelMr in Non-Mechanical and ashleers16 in the Pearson 365/367 Yacht Club section).
SMF is up to version 2.0.11(2013) and we are still running release 1.1.11 (2008) It would appear that this version may have developed problems when the server we are on upgraded to PHP version 5.5. A wild guess. The old platform we are on most likely has backdoor vulnerabilities. Probably time for an upgrade, a job for our administrator I'm sorry to say. Pete
Special Thanks go out to Craig Brenizer (P69) who figured out the problem and got the site back up and running!!!
Three Cheers for Craig!!!
Please PM me (or email if you have it) or Rich if you see any anomalies with the fixed web site. We will take a look to see if it's fixable.
I'm especially interested in hearing if something worked in the past, but doesn't work now.
