Gunjunkie posted that he was gonna do some software upgrades on Monday the 25th, it was up for a bit one day since then, and down ever since, today you'll get phpBB : Critical Error .... so I'd guess the upgrade didn't go well. $:-\$

Tim;

I still can't get onto Marlinowners.com...wonder if it is because my computer (a new one) runs on the VISTA system..?

Nope, it's not your PC, it's down again. $:-\$

I don't believe they have a clue what to do or how. The plan I've heard so far sounds like a poor one. I've offered a better one but don't know if they have an interest or not. I'm now less confident it will be back up and running right by the end of month. Maybe but I'm just not as sure now.

ironglow · « **Reply #12 on:** March 10, 2008, 05:31:01 AM »

They're on..just pulled them up (Monday morn )..

I was on a few hours ago. MO is a good site...worth waiting for.

It's down again, but they're working on it.

Marlin Owner's site will be moved to the GBO server most likely this coming week. I can't give you any specfics of just when as that has not yet been worked out. I think Matt has all the data he needs to make it happen now and so I'm reasonably sure it will happen this coming week.

Once the move to the new GBO servers is completed the next thing scheduled is to convert it from the phpbb format that is so prone to being hacked to the same SMF software we use here at GBO. Once those actions are completed you should be able to expect Marlin Owner's to have the same rock solid performance that GBO has.

I wish I could give you firm dates on when all this will be completed but right now I cannot. But rest assured the end of the problems they've been plagued with are nearing an end finally.

Does that mean we will be able to post pics directly onto the website, as we already do with this, the best site of all ? I say that because I am too clumsy with my PC to be able to transfer pics properly...LOL

Graybeard · « **Reply #17 on:** March 23, 2008, 07:14:53 PM »

Yeah I assume it should mean that after Matt gets them converted over to the same software we use here. You should I guess be able to use the same attach feature used here thru the additional options link. Or you can still use www.myhostedpics.com to get yourself a URL assigned and post them anywhere.

Matt is the technical genius behind GBO so I shouldn't be saying things about the technical stuff but as far as I know he will set them up with the same versions of software we use since they will be on our servers it seems easiest to just use same software we have loaded already. So that should be the features we have they will soon have.

But they are a wholly owned different site and our rules will not be in place there as we have no ownership interest we'll just be hosting them and perhaps providing some technical advice and assistance when called on to do so. It will be up to the owners to decide rules and such there just as always that is not changing.

We are just hosting them and offering them increased reliabilty and up time over the problems that have plagued the site for so long. I made the offer to Larry not long after he set the site up but he didn't take advantage of the offer back then.

It's back up!

The Marlin Owner's site is now moved to the GBO server and is now running the same SMF software we run here at GBO. It should now be about as stable as the GBO site is. I can't necessarily say "as stable" since Dave Williams the new owner is responsible for the upkeep as opposed to Matt but so far we've really had nearly no trouble with SMF and our server so Dave shouldn't have much to do.

Matt will continue to tweak it a bit in the next week or two before turning it completely over to the site owners I believe but you shouldn't have anymore problems with it crashing.
