Sorry for the delay, I recently sold the domains and hosting side of my business and I've been busy with that process.
That necessitates moving Foot.ie to a new server, and I'm disinclined to do so as-is because the installed version of vBulletin won't run on PHP > 5.6, and even the final version (that was upgraded just to support PHP 7) only goes to PHP 7.1. This is still very, very old, and more importantly, it's actually quite difficult to install because even the guys that host old version repositories don't carry it any more.
So the priority is now migration to a new platform, with the data as-is, and I'll come back to your (very welcome!) suggestions when that's done. That process should be a lot easier on the new platform, Discourse, which will likely be one you recognise even if you don't know the name, because it's used pretty widely around the web.
I've just this minute built a new VPS for the site and I'll be working on installing and configuring Discourse over the weekend. I'll update next week.
Just to say, the hard work is appreciated. If you need testers before formally switching over, I'm sure there'll be volunteers.
You can't spell failure without FAI
Good news! Thanks Adam.
Why does it take so long to get posts approved? Start of the league season and you should be trying to capitalize on new members. But my posts take days to get approved and just get inserted at the time of my original post so disappear behind newer stuff
Honestly? Because I was on my first proper holiday in 14 years. Also, wrong thread.
Sorry on both counts. Hope you enjoyed it! ThanksOriginally Posted by dahamsta
Just curious if there’s been any movement on this?
