Testing of the forum upgrade

[patracy]

Let's see how this goes....




Also I uploaded a large PDF file, but I realized it wasn't for release, so I removed it.

Thanks for the hard work Andrew.

Not going to lie, I dragged this upgrade out longer than it needed to be. Come 3am this morning I was beat. (Been on the go for nearly 24hrs at that point) I took a nap from 3 to 7. But honestly I was frazzled from yesterday and the upgrade and needed that. This upgrade, on paper, should have been smoother. But I hit several bumps along the way. PHP needed to be changed as it didn't like our version. Then when I did that, there was dependencies on the database server that got updated. Which caused it to shut down and not restart. Got that squared away. Then got started on the actual upgrade. Lemme tell you, it's a little unnerving around hour 3 of watching a script window not update and watching mysqld chug away at one cpu core. I was at the point where I was about to kill the script when BOOM things started updating. I probably should have just kicked off the script and walked away and check back in on the hour instead. At least now I know. And this wasn't a big upgrade like we've had in the past. It was just to go up X.X.2 release levels.

OK...so whatever you said happened.

Thank you for getting us up and running again...now...go get the rest you deserve.

Rest? What's that?

I've got to cut the grass, and I'm probably going to install a lift kit on the jeep today.

I'm with Papabear - I haven't a clue what you said, but I'm sure glad you do! All I heard was "..Blah blah blah, Ginger..."

Thanks for doing it!

Cheers

Translation would be: The button pushing monkey pushed the button and got a banana.

It actually sounded kind of dangerous to me. Tried to make sense of all this: you took a nap… hit several bumps along the way… which caused it (the truck?)… to shut down and not restart… you then adjusted the clutch (?) … to go up X.X.2 release level… then a big boom and it (re)started just when you were about to kill someone… (!?)









Thanks for the hard work!

I'm going to blame a non-existent language barrier.




Sadly, you speak English better than many people I know who are natural born US citizens.

Just remember...The best OPPLAN never survives the first contact...intact. You just have to rearm, refit and attack again!!

Yeah! What PB said.

Sadly, I resemble that remark. I just try to make do and let the chips fall where they may.

Thanks for your efforts and abilities in making this site function. I appreciate this site and use it as my "go to" information source.

Thanks for all you do patracy, I am sure this site would certainly not as good without you. While others may be as good as you on computer stuff, and maybe better, it,s your attitude that I believe makes the difference. (should have said "not be as good without you). Many thanks and I can,t even begin to express my grattitude for this site.
