Thursday 2nd. Returned home from Campbeltown last night after a meeting and went online. Clicked on Message Board and came up with
php BB Critical Error
Could not connect to the data base.
yet some postings were submitted around time we were off up here. Was ok when I left for town at 6.45pm
Was it just a board update or repair Davie or Mod's?

Seems to have been a server problem at aww who host the forum.
We'll be moving the board soon to give us better control of it but you do get these things from time to time.

Malky, are you running MySql or Access as the back-end database?
I think we can offer MySql on our server now but I need to try a test set-up with PHPBB.
Cheers

mysql. We are currently in the process of changing host - I'll let Malky comment on this as he is attending to this.
The problem last night was out of our control but thankfully the forum is backup etc.

Malky, are you doing some more work today on the forum? I coudn't access the Kintyre Community Forum with the link on the Visit Kintyre page. I played around a bit and got through using kintyreforum.com. Are we not going to be able to access the forum from the link on Visit Kintyre?

Davie hasn't updated the link on the visitkintyre homepage yet. That link still takes you to the old host (awwhosting) where there is a redirect page pointing to the forum. The awwhosting server is currently down, so no redirect I'm afraid.
I've emailed Davie about changing the link but I know he's busy at other things just now. This will maybe spur him into action though
Also, I notice that 95% of hits on the forum still come via the awwhosting server so it would be to his advantage to fix this

Thanks, Malky
, I
always enter the forum through the Visit Kintyre site, thinking it gives Davie's site some hits, too. There are a lot of us loyal ones
Hope the rest don't think it is out of order.

See you've fixed it Davie
Now I'm not being picky, but what about the What's On link, announcements link and Vote for October photo of the month links too

Meant to say Davie, I primarily go through Visit Kintyre to see what's up
New pictures, picture of the week, down memory lane, etc. Thanks, I see the link works now.
