Repair-It

Upgraded to 3.3.10. Dreamhost did an automatic php 8.1 update. It broke one thing (that I noticed) on my forum. When you post, it is supposed to send the browser back to the thread to view the new post. But it caused an error (maybe HTTP 500). The post worked but the thread had to be refreshed manua...

I can even elect to directly download the file so it is off-server if I want to. I can also restore from that interface. If I want to kick o...

It was a hung query and system process. Once those hung processes were killed, the stuck queries executed and everything seemed to return to normal. I was screwing around in the MySQL web interface with no real luck but I did not think to check processes. Good old Dreamhost - they came through again...

I need to upgrade from 3.0.13 to 3.1.6. Wouldn't be surprised if mobile rendering was natively supported.

There is no automatic upgrade path so it will be a little more intensive. So I haven't done it yet.
