If you have been having issues with connecting to the forums, I have now whitelisted the following ISPs for use on the server. If you have issues of spottiness (or have to have this message relayed to you), let me know. Alice DSL Corbina Oi Orange Slovensko Telecom Italia Tiscali VTR This should take care of the majority of issues that were arising.
All right. Tested for some hours and everything is working great. Other guys I asked also confirm they can visit the forums with no problems at all. Many thanks Scarred Sun. You're truly the best.
Out of curiosity, would that have anything to do with this: Warning: fopen(/home/sonicret/domains/forums.sonicretro.org/public_html/zbblock/vault/NOLOOKUP.CSV) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/sonicret/domains/forums.sonicretro.org/public_html/zbblock/zbblock.php on line 188 Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/sonicret/domains/forums.sonicretro.org/public_html/zbblock/zbblock.php on line 190 Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/sonicret/domains/forums.sonicretro.org/public_html/zbblock/zbblock.php on line 191
Apart from from being at top on each page, I get the above errors when clicking on Topic links directly from main board page and when PMing and it nothing else.
Is it normal that I see this: When I try to see this page, which worked fine until... 10 minutes ago? edit: interestingly enough, the page itself seems to work fine, even when the parameters are given in the POST format. But if I try to feed the parameters in the GET format, I get that error message. edit2: if this is not related to the "Firewall ISPs cleared" topic, please split in a new thread in the Site Affairs forum. I somehow assumed it was related but maybe it's not. edit3: now it works again. Trash altogether, I guess :| edit4: it does it again so I don't know what to think :|
