So happy that Nitro Express is back. Another forum I'm a member of went down for several months after a software change. It's never recovered and is all but defunct. Didn't want to see that happen here.

      #380742 - 30/11/23 03:13 AM

I wasn't too worried this time, because this problemm has happened several times.

I know exactly what happened. The forums were having some minor errors. I mentioned intending to back up the database. There was some errors stopping stuff. I asked the ISP guy to see if there was any issues. Later the forums worked fine again.

He decided to shutdown the server. The "who's online" file runs on and off continually. This file was corrupted during the server shutdown. This has happened now two or three times. Normally I can log into the database. Run an admin programme and repair a file or replace the file from a backup. The "who's online" file has no data. But my laptop gave up a year ago. I haven't replaced it. The login info, emailed instructions were on the laptop. Btw the HDD of the laptop is I believe fine. I just need a new one and can remove the old HDD and plug it in two a device o have.

I asked THE ISP to resend me the phpadmin and database info. My support guy also looked at it for me and said the phpadmin was very old and not to use it. I did try the past address and it didn't even work. Something's been changed at the ISP is my guess. The support guy offered to do it for me.

Next problem. I have a dozen separate HDDs with files, images, backups. But they were somewhere I was not. A couple weeks before I got them.

I found the right HDD, copied the right backed up file of the database. Send it plus instructions to the support guy. Of course hecwas busy, then I had to resend the email. Maybe a week went by. Some my delay. Some his.

Eventually it got done. It all works again. Yippee!

***

What I need to do is back up the database data files. Probably this weekend. I think the ISP support guy will have a copy as well. I want to make sure the data, not the programme is backed up. So the forums might be down for a few hours in the next week or so. I will turn them off.

"""

On the forums.nitroexpress.com page I'll add a text area. It isn't straight forward, but once changed, it will be useful when the forums show errors. I'll see about a link on the forums header area. It might be a simple "info_update.txt" file. A few seconds to write, ftp (upload) it to the same spot. Easier to open and read.

In the future a better system of providing info.

***

I looked at what is needed to upgrade the forums. The same forums sw, but a much newer version. New php and MySQL software. The FORUMS WILL BE DIFFERENT LOOKING. Hopefully better. The newer versions have image galleries and can load images into the threads/posts. A new headache for me. . Images take a lot of storage. Which can get costly. It will add up and need to be managed. But is a plus. The most complained about lack of feature. Great plus if the same members can still work it out.

Images on the forums will make it easier for me as well to keep activity going.

***

I will be changing ISPs at the same time. While the single support guy at the current ISP is good and service orientated, I think what we do is completely out of sync with the rest of their clients.

I'm looking forward to revamping the rest of the website. Using maybe WordPress, much easier to update, modify, add new info, especially articles, the eMagaxine, blog etc. Maybe see what can be done in the new forums first. And very simple pages leading to it as a beginning.

***

As for Facebook, imo for independent minded free people interested in normal life, hunting, shooting guns etc there's zero long term future on it. Run by a sex weirdo death cult, that's Elon Musk's description of the people that ran twitter, and still run Farcebook and Google. I'll still use it as one can deal with a variety of people some usefull

But CONTROL over ONE'S OWN PLATFORM is important. Not some bunch of cross dressing homos pretending to be female or vice versa. All depressed hoping the human race is wiped out ... Not for me.


***

We've been around for maybe 20 to 23 years. Hopefully another twenty years.

Not far from the future. Our govt has "misinformation" censorship laws planned. Very very "ministry of truth". Fuck them.

Maybe I shouldn't be shifting the forums ISP to Melbourne , from whereverbitnhd now, Sydney? But to nitroexpress.tv in Tuvalo like mince thought about.

They'll get one anywhere though.

It's 78 years since WE2 but our Australian clown govt is catching up to Germany and banning the Nazi Salute and symbols. Because maybe 20 nutters all wearing masks protest at some events. Agents Provateurs very possibly IMO. Meanwhile the Marxist fist salute and communist symbols are wonderful.

Btw all my emails to any Gmail account bounce back.

Gmail requires domains to "register" with them before they allow emails to here received i0 by Gmail addresses.

Ironic when Gmail was/is the greatest spammer

The short enforced break for me was a little holiday. But I'd miss it myself. It has never achieved, yet, my plans for it by far.

And alas, as we get older, we talk and BS more and do less.

I still hope to attend events, in Europe, USA, where we can all get together some time. Maybe even group hunts somewhere.

I pledge to post more and to do it more often!
I don't get out to shoot all that much lately but I do have some new things I'm working on.

I'm shooting indoors every week now, but with air rifles or pistols.
My bro and I compete in a monthly ML match, but that's about it.
But then, I/we don't like shooting in the cold, any more. I've just loaded up some .220 SwiftIMP 1.6" shorties,
but they merely went into a box with some I loaded a few years ago, like maybe 5?
