Too funny!  Thanks for the notification..... I probably would have been panicking.

Hello Gents!

After the Server/host upgrade we ran into some problems with us unable to post.

I updated all the SMF packages so we are now up to date with those + the PHP went from ver. 5.2.xx to 7.4 stable but still the problems was showing up.
I then did a lot of reasearch and found that there was 2 tables in the DB there needed to be set to NULL and now it seems to work.

I hope all other stuff works like it use to, but please chk.

Test

All OK , I guess   

I tried twice at different moments during the day to post a response, but got an error.
Just now, it all went as it should 

Thanks @Kukki

I've noticed after the downtime, something that might be a bug? I wanted to browse through past pages of my build thread, and noticed many of the pages reported a database error. E.g. if i pass page 2 and want to see page 3, error report. Same for many of the rest pages, and also if i click on the "All" button.
Attached is a screenshot of the message:

Try now, needed to set thge awards to NULL too,  might not be the right way to do it, but it seems to work (we might loose some awards options here, dont know)

@Kukki : Yup, seems to be working now, thanks! 

[Kukki]

OK gents, I might have fixed the HTTP to HTTPS now.

it was a paain in the ass every time we got en email from VP and the link url was only in http and not in https.

It might work now, I have made a new SSL key for VP, so i hope it will work now, else I most look into other .htaccess   code.

please chk. if the info email from VP comes into your inbox now with https links.

Test

While my test to post worked here, I cannot post to the new user introductions, or make my own post. It continues to show "database error".

I need a screenshot of what error you get

[Kukki]

Yes I get the same "spam" error, but dont know what is going on here, @Auke104   can you help

[Kukki]

Hello Gents!
Auke104 took also a look at the VP database and solved some problems too, so now from what I have tested it should work now.

Please test/post in different threads to chk. and if no errors then just delete the test post again if you want.

I really hope this will work.
