The Forum software version has fallen behind and there appears to be several issues according to Hostgator support. I have spend half a day working with tech support as it now appears a the site needs upgrading and security updates that cannot be applied one by one.
What appears to work ok is using Firefox and logging into "
www.aussiepinball.com" - The home screen is broken, but you should be able to login and view threads with photos. That's what I have used in the last couple of days to update Resto threads. You can reply with smilies etc. This seems to be a "workaround" until I can get my head around how to approach this.
Logging in using other browsers may or may not cause issues, but they ARE at my end - no photos and no "smilies" or toolbar when replying to threads.
If you want to reply here with your experience, go ahead. I need to work out what browsers are having problems. Some are security / SSL and some are viewing photos.
There needs to be a fair amount of work done, and I don't have the skills or the time. So if anyone knows a Tech that can assist, I'd be very grateful. I'm going to try the RTBB Webadmin, but I don't think his expertise is in this area.
Yes - there are problems, and the approach will be a complete upgrade.
