Optometry Discussion Forum

The forum software has now been upgraded to the latest version, let me know if any issues.

My host updated/changed the php setting on my server without telling me which caused the issue. It's been fixed now. Let me know if anyone still has issues. The forum software will still be upgraded in the next few days. For unexpected issues keep an eye on here for updates: https://www.facebook.com...

Yes some other things aren't working. My host (who has amazing reviews) is taking a while getting back to me. In any case the forum will be upgraded shortly and problem fixed.

I will investigate.

Yes I get the same too. You can delete them individually by clicking on it then deleting/X it.

I am looking into it.

Every once in a while there is a surge of hackers/spambots trying to register for the forum hence the security modules are triggered.

Old link did not work so replaced it with above.

Host claims not to have changed anything on their end. Seems to be a bit more complicated than first thought so will get my software guy to look into it. I will provide notification in advance on theOptom.com Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheOptom/ and Twitter accounts https://twitter.com/theopt...

I don't think I have issues receiving PMs but I just tried to delete a message and got the same message: "The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again."

I will look into it.
