Site Maintenance Shutdown

[addy]

Hi everyone, PSA in a few hours the site will temporarily go down while I do a mybb update and attempt a few fixes on the site. You may or may not need to refresh your site cookies once the forum's back online. Thanks!

Hi folks, I decided to open the site up again because it's been down too long but not all issues are resolved. The embedded youtube videos do not seem to be  showing on the posts. I am trying to look for a solution in the meantime. For sure all the youtube links are still there, you can still see them when you try to edit the posts but they are just not loading like they should. I apologize, and thank you for your patience

Oh. I see.

Posts are not letting me post until 2 minutes.

I'm in love with bugs. I'm collected them. Isn't that novel?

[addy]

oh dear, that seems to be a different bug too. Thank you for reporting it

[rowens]

Could just be me.

And the posts are separate. If I post more than once in a few minutes, it usually doesn't bump the thread like that.

Call it the Bump Bug.

The 2 minute rule seems to maybe not be so frequent.

I am working with the site host right now and may need to shut down the forum again if they ask me to. Sorry everyone

Thanks for everything, Addy. Work on whatever timetable you need.

.... Also the site host is starting to suggest restoring a forum backup from a few hours ago, so that will wipe out the past few conversations

Apologies in advance, they are suggesting a backup restore that might wipe out posts from the past hours/ day. I am so sorry

[addy]

In about two minutes I will be shutting down the forum again, so sorry folks. This will be a temporary measure. I wish I could give you a clearer timetable but my hosting provider is keeping mum. I hope it doesnt take a day.

Thank you thank you thank you for everyones patience

Hi all, just an update: Unfortunately video embed youtube links are still broken. I am consulting with mybb developers right now who I hope will know what to do and help me fix this. The youtube links are still there, they havent been erased, just not loading. Fingers crossed they will all load properly again once video embed is fixed.

As f now, all pages are now loading in https. This should hopefully fix the login and site loading/formatting issues members have been frequently experiencing. The downside is it is also blocking some images and other external media files that have http (instead of https) from being viewed on the site. I will also ask the developers if there is a workaround.

Thanks everyone, and apologies for the inconvenience. Really appreciate your patience.
