Great job Jon! Thanks.

not sure if this is related, but when I click on 'New Posts' or 'Quick Links' I now get this error

I get the error too, in different browsers.

 

[Jon]

When did you first notice that error? What day? I need to establish if its as a result of the http to https changes or whether its due to the changes my host did yesterday.

 

[pbaldy]

For me it was yesterday...I think.

Oh, and it says it sends you something, so you should be able to tell when you started getting them.

 

[Jon]

Ok. My host has wiped out another forum we have. They upgraded their OS and it looks like its affecting all sorts of things.

I can't get to page 4 of this thread via any means, didn't get an email notification. I can only see the recent posts by clicking on "Post Reply". As you say, there are all kinds of things goofed up.

For me it was definitely today so the problem started sometime after about last midnight GMT.

Use Chrome on Win8
Get often "Database error"
Database Error
The Access World Forums database has encountered a problem.

For example when clicking on "todays post" or clicking on "post quick reply" after post reply
Submitted reply is stored by the way

I get this error too, first time late yesterday. I'm PST (Pacific Standard Time) which is GMT -8:00.

I first noticed just before I posted my thread. So around midnight UK time. Just found you get the same error if you click on a member name and select 'Find more posts by...' - I was going to check my posts to see if I could determine the last time it worked OK for me

 

[Jon]

Ok, I know what the issue is now. My host upgraded to a newer version of php and its causing compatibility issues with the code. Looking into it.

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

I get the Same...

I had problems with not being able to post from the Preview Post page.

Starting Saturday when I attempt to access this site from home, I get a DNS error stating that the site's address cannot be found. I forwarded a screenshot to Paul if you need to see it, but it's pretty bare-bones.

For what it's worth, I get the same result with Chrome, IE, and Edge, but then again, I would if there's a DNS issue.

Magic quotes were dropped in PHP 5.4.0. I don't know if that's your problem but the point is that upgrades of PHP can break previous code. Rewriting your site's code could take a long time. I suggest you get your host provider to reinstall the old version of PHP. They should be able to support multiple versions of PHP at least if they are running Apache.

They are using Litespeed.

I'm absolutely sure it's part of the same problem, but my scroll wheel doesn't work on the site any more either. As well as the other issues reported.
