Forum Outage
Hi Folks,
not sure how much it affected you today, but we had a little software problem. To make a long story short, it was a compability issue between the forum software and the newer PHP software version installed on the server. Thankfully I could switch back to an older version of PHP which is still available, but the safest (?) way will be a forum software update within the coming months.

Re: Forum Outage
Thankfully the issue was resolved by two klicks on the hoster's configuration page, but not after a lengthy phase of panicking and mentally preparing to set up a new forum...

Didn't even notice. Spent the majority of Saturday airbrushing and yesterday attempting to paint white over black and gray...both were epic fails.

That photo on the cover....any idea where or what it is? The back ground vehicle appears to be an M32 with it's boom missing.

I think they're both M4A1 DV in Tunisia. The one in the back seems to have its turret turned away from the camera.

I am sure you are correct. My old eyes playing tricks on me.

Re: Forum Outage
It certainly looks like an M32 but I don't think any had been built yet at that point

Re: Forum Outage
Hi Folks,
the PHP software issue has come back to haunt me. You might have noticed some error messages lately. Thankfully these are harmless this time.
In short, the host company keeps upgrading their server software while the forum software obviously gets older and less compatible with newer technologies. At some point in 2020 I will have to make a software upgrade on the forum. In theory this shouldn't be a big deal, but I thought I'd give you some advance warning. I'll post another warning when things get serious and I start the update.
If in the meantime you keep getting these error messages I found that simply refreshing the page will make them disappear.
