Heads Up: guitarsbyleo.com will require some updates ...

Post by Craig »

As you have probably noticed that our guitarsbyleo.com site has had some major issues for several weeks.
Due to changes to the minimum support software versions provided for our site which our ISP is requiring us to use,
we must update the software which our site is built with (phpBB and Gallery), to be compatible with the new minimum support software versions.

In addition, the functionality of our G&L Registry and the GbL User Profiles sections are no longer functioning at this time. It is
unknown why these sections are no longer functioning as before. For the time being, only the forums (G&L Forum, G&L Knowledgebase,
and GbL Marketplace) and Gallery sections are fully functional.

When I return from my short vacation on Monday, I will be looking into what I will need to do to update the forums and Gallery software packages
to meet this minimum support software requirements. Once I come up with a plan to doe these updates, I will let you know.

I am sorry for this inconvenience, I will try my best to get this resolved as soon as possible.

I will need to update the PHP software used by the GbL site to the ISP's supported version (7.3), which means that I will also need to update
the Forum and Gallery software to use this updated version of PHP.

In addition, I managed to get Covid-19 and am on Day 3 of my 5 Day Paxlovid medication treatment. I anticipate that I will start the software
updates next week at the earliest.

Thank you all for your patience and stay tuned.

I have successfully updated the Forum software (phpBB) to the latest update. You will notice that the previous Style (AcidTech Green)
has been changed to a new Style (Lucid Lime) because AcidTech Green has not been updated to run on the current Forum software.

Next steps to be done is to upgrade the Gallery software and then fix the G&L Registry and User Profiles sections of the site.

At least we have the Forums back online.

Stay tuned.
