    Hey folks.

    Here's the big news. I just upgraded Apache and PHP - we're now sitting at Apache 2.2.9 and PHP 5.2.6. Pretty cool, huh? Yeah, yeah, downtime. Sorry folks.

    Anyway, a lot of you have been seeing "Forbidden" errors lately. The tech team (i.e. myself and O2C) hope that by recompiling Apache and PHP, we'll have wiped these errors out.

    However, we need your help. If you see any errors, please post them in this thread. We'll sort through 'em and, hopefully, figure out what caused 'em.

    Have a good one, folks.

    I noticed Polarslam is banned. Could that be an error?

    Just to let y'all know, I'm looking into upgrading MySQL as well, but that's a bit more of a Serious Business sort of upgrade, so a little research is needed.

    In theory, database queries would run a little faster, meaning that pages would load faster, though likely not in a manner that would be terribly impressive.

    Not the easiest thing in the world to do, at least from what I'm reading, so it might not happen soon, but seeing as how our speed is generally pretty good, I'm not too worried.

    By the way, the only reason I knew anything about AARs was because of a Something Awful article series that made fun of GI Joe cartoons. So don't worry, we're not stealing all of your nifty jargon

    Gallery uploads are fixed, at least as far as I could tell. Missed an option for image processing when I recompiled PHP.

    Merging...NOW!

    Oh yes, by the way. You might see a little bit of odd output at the top of the smilies screen for a little while. Just working on another popular request ;).
