Forum FAQ link broken

[rmbrady]

Hi
When I attempt to open the FedoraForum FAQ, I get a database error.
(I was looking for a howto on adding code and file uploads to a post)


Database Error Database error
The FedoraForum.org database has encountered a problem.
Please try the following:

* Load the page again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser.
* Open the forums.fedoraforum.org home page, then try to open another page.
* Click the Back button to try another link.

The forums.fedoraforum.org forum technical staff have been notified of the error, though you may contact them if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

I get that error on the "Staff Blog"..... but i don't think it ever existed before
Btw, this is what i get:

Error establishing a database connection

This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at 192.168.1.203. This could mean your host's database server is down.

    * Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
    * Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
    * Are you sure that the database server is running?

If you're unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

bye!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, the Blog has been broken since the vBulletin update and I broke the FAQ trying to modify one of the FAQ's. Both of them can only be fixed by Ewdi. He's been notified, but he's very busy....

Have I said this before? Hmmmm....

Honey bee bob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everything is broken here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When will be the year of the working fedora forum? because, looks like it'll be even after the year of the linux desktop!!!!!!!!! jk

Anyway, i dunno how the vBulletin update has broken the Blog... it looks like a WordPress platform

bye!!!!!!!!!

i cant see it being fixed anytime soon , so just use work-a-rounds

[bee]

and when will be the wiki installed then!?

bye!!!!!!!

good idea that bee, probably would help people get to the wiki quicker. shoulod be easy enough to do for ewdi , all he's have to do is a wiki link with maybe a drop down menu on it

Again, we don't have the necessary access to do those things. We've got to work with what's within our grasp. At one point I copied over the FAQ info and had it as an announcement. Let me see if I can at least grab that and put it in the 'Read This First Forum'.

[bob]

Okay, I've put the contents in the Read This First Forum. It doesn't correct the problem, but it does get the info into view.

[Jake]

Hmm, I think we should nominate this forum for:

"Most broken, and outdated forum on the web"



EDIT:

Here is a list of problems I know about..

TOS Page = Permission error for normal members
Uploading files doesn't work properly
FAQ Page = Broken (by bob?)
User profile gallery is broken
Blog is broken
vBulletin is out of date
repair.php needs to be run
Some templates may need fixing.

This forum needs it's own bug tracker!

Yeah, but the smilies work!

for the time being they are, unless bee finds a way to break those

[Jake]

Hmm, I hope there isn't a "Maximum smiley usage" limit per board. Otherwise this forum will hit that limit with the way bee uses them

(No offence to bee, just joking around)

[bob]

Ah, then you've read my small additions to the FAQ?

[Jake]

Small Additions?!

You broke the whole FAQ Section!

xD LOL.
