NEW RB Server - Forum Upgrade - Some WIP

[racketboy]

Hi everyone!

In case you weren't aware, we had a pretty significant database crash on the site that took us down for a while.
This was made worse by tech/customer service at my long-time hosting service (they had recently been bought out a couple times) going completely downhill.

Anyway, I had to migrate to a new host and rebuild the site from scratch using backup files.
I also upgraded the software.

Finally, we seem to be up and running fully.
However, you may notice that the forum theme doesn't match the rest of the site.
The the theme format for phpbb (the forum software) changed significantly between the old 3.0 software and the current 3.3.
I am in contact with a few developers to get the old theme coverted/upgraded, but we'll just have to be patient for a little while on that front.

Other than that, if you happen to run into any issues or notice anything odd either in the forum or Wordpress/content, please post about it here (or email me if, for some reason you can't post)

Thanks again for all your patience in this matter!

Glad to see the forum back up and running, thanks for all your hard work!

The default phpbb theme for 3.3 isn't horrible, but it'll definitely be nice to get the custom Racketboy theme back!

For sure! If nothing else for the Logo going to the main page and having all the shortcut links in their nice place!
Even though the process was a royal pain and time suck, I actually learned a TON and feel a lot more self-sufficient (especially teamed with Google and AI bots)

Glad to see things back up and running. Honestly, it doesn't look bad.

Yeah, not bad for a stock theme
I meant to follow up your email from a little while back.
I know you were trying for an alternate style -- do the ones installed currently work for you?

[Ack]

Yes, but right now it's only ProSilver and ProSilver Dark.

Yes, but right now it's only ProSilver and ProSilver Dark.

For our long-term members such as yourself, I'll gladly install another stock theme if there's one you really like

Thank you for getting everything going again.
I like the dark theme. Easier on the eyes.

It's an honor.
I realize I've been away a lot, but it's still a special place
