Topic: Maintenance on ThreeStooges.net this weekend

[Dunrobin]

Hi Everyone!

I will be updating ThreeStooges.net on Saturday, August 5th, so that site will be closed for a while (probably starting by Noon.)  I will be upgrading the coding framework used on the site, and trying to tighten the web site's security to keep the blasted hacker's out.  I will post updates here as needed, if I should run into any problems.

The site's scripting framework was even older than I realized, so there have been a lot of steps that I've needed to take to make sure that I don't break anything.  (I don't want to repeat the past.  lol!)  Anyway, I doubt that anyone has even noticed anything on ThreeStooges.net so far, but this coming Saturday (August 19th) it will probably be "down" long enough for someone to notice as I will need to re-upload most of my scripts as well (there are file naming changes to the next major update.)

Once all of the updates to the framework are completed I will turn the login feature back on for everyone, so forum members will be able to rate episodes and post reviews over there again.

I post more updates as work progresses (i.e., it takes longer than expected or I screw something up, etc.  Don't worry, Brent - I'm backing everything up first.  lol)

Thanks for all you do, Rob.

Thank you, Doug, for all you've done to keep this forum going over the years!   

I've put ThreeStooges.net into "Under Construction" mode, so nothing will be working over there right now.  I have to delete whole folders of scripts and upload the new ones, so the site will be down for a while, but with any luck it won't be too long.  [Crosses fingers]

Well, that took even less time than I had hoped, let alone what I expected.  lol  The only issue I ran into was with the login function, and I managed to find the fix for that pretty quickly, so the site is public again, and if you have an account you can log in again.

I don't have registration available right now on ThreeStooges.net.  I am working on tying in membership here on the forum to being able to login on ThreeStooges.net, but I haven't worked it all out yet.  I'll post an update when I have that figured out.

As an amateur web developer in my own right, not only do I thank you for all you do for this site but I also thank you for your programming patience and zen.
