The old forum

[rdprdp01]

I got this just now when trying to access the old forum. It's not the same as the overload message we have been seeing for months. Does anyone have an idea if this means this is the end?

It is the same error we encountered a few days ago. For this Forum, it was the result of a technology auto-update which required me to change a setting in the master config file that manages database connectivity. See after action report:

I believe the update made things more secure by changing a default value to an explicit IP address. That is good. However, I do not see how that explicit Database IP Address entry for the Old Forum can be modified by anything other than an actual administrator doing the same thing I did. That is bad because we have no administrator there.

Let’s see if another update is pushed that reverses the change. Time will tell. David
