Hi all
Really sorry about the outages that last 30 minutes or more.
We have had 2 attempts to fix the problem but it just keeps coming back.
We have appointed an expert in the USA that consults on the forum platform phpBB.
He has quoted the following for the fix.
$50USD basic upgrade
$10USD install custom style and prosilver, includes placing existing logo
$70USD surcharge, 1,200,000 - 1,400,000 posts
$15USD install and configure Cleantalk extension, enable spam firewall (optional)
$50USD move database to convert it.
I have accepted the quote and this will hopefully be fixed this week.
Thanks
Simon

Re: Fixing the Forum
when the final bill comes in then will see if i need any contributions. Seems like our database of posts is the main issue along with bots. Causing the virtual server re-boot when traffic is high. Need to stop the bots!

Re: Fixing the Forum
Not just the 'basic' upgrade though. Lets pass the hat around and get a 'premium' upgrade.ROLS-LEE wrote:Can we get a quote to fix our team too?
