Title: Encountered an error? Report it here!
Post by: WargamesIllustrated on September 12, 2025, 01:06:20 PM
Hi all,

First off, thank you for your patience during the migration. I’m pleased to say the move from our previous host to the new one is now complete and went smoothly. :)

With that behind us, this is the perfect time to focus on stress testing, bug fixing, and planning future improvements. That’s what this thread is for!

If you spot any error pages I’ve missed, please flag them here. :D

Cheers,
Joe

I don’t seem to be getting any new posts showing up - unless this one above is really the last one before this?

Hi Commissar,

Fancy seeing you here! Somehow, you've found your way to what we're using as the test site for the upcoming Lead Adventure Forum on our new host's server. We're due to go live on Monday as scheduled.

As you can see in the URL bar, this is "wiprime.net", but if you head to "leadadventureforum.com", you'll find the actual website with a holding page, as you've probably seen already by now.  :)

Thanks for your patience!

Cheers,
Joe

Forum appears to be back.
I cannot upload photos to the gallery Get a database error when I try to access my Gallery

Also minor point all the "new" tags on threads are no longer highlighted, so they tend to disappear into the sea of text

Oh thank god it's back, I was beginning to go peculiar.

The only issue I can see is the little icon next to the "new" text isn't loading so I'm just getting lots of the generic place holder photo art thing.

Working on that now. Thanks for letting me know.

Can you send the error you're receiving, please? Either as text or as an image will be fine!

Text is "Database Error
Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator."

Happens when I try to access my Gallery.

Not sure these count as "errors" or part of the changes - but no longer seeing a 'show own posts' option which I found very useful.  Would miss if lost.

Also, on home page, no longer showing how many members, who is on line etc., which was nice to see but I could live without.

I've found the error. I'm on it right now.  :)

Yeah, that was a feature from a "plugin" we had called TinyPortal. It's still installed, but not enabled on the frontend of the forum due to technical issues. I definitely have plans to reinstate it, so rest assured that it'll go live again soon. It just missed the deadline for the relaunch of the website, is all.  :D

Creating, accessing, and uploading to galleries should be good to go now. Have a test! :)

Okay, so the Gallery is working now, as is show your own posts.

The thing I use a lot was a section where you could "see new posts" and "see reply to your posts."

That seems to have gone missing.

Hiya. In a previous reply, that feature will definitely return! I just need to get it squared away in the background. Stay tuned for more info in the coming days! :)

Took a look around and everything seems to be working as advertised now.

Congrats on the migration. Well done!

In case it helps re "own posts", the link still exists under Profile (it appears beneath your username image)

That will be very good - as it seems to have got to the stage I need to moving image hosting again - seems to be a 2-3 year cycle as each platform implodes.
