Hey all, so just an update on what's going on and what we're doing:

We attempted to install an add-on yesterday (that I know works because I've installed it before on the same version) but for whatever reason, it didn't play well the way I did it. It created a huge error that was causing immediate issues with how the site performed, so I removed the installed files for it (which cleared out a majority of the errors,) but now another add-on apparently used one of the resources that I deleted (not realizing it was shared, didn't look that way at all when I was doing it, but... I guess lol.)

So we've got an add-on that is causing the issues/errors. Murphy's Law showed up and won't let us disable it like we normally do (the other issue.) So there are ways to manually/force stop the add-on software, but we're not having much luck with it so far. I've just contacted the developer of the add-on, gave him our error log and explained what I did, so we're going to hopefully get answer on how he thinks we could proceed to go forward.

The other solution may be to run a restore on a previous backup point, which means we lose a few days of data but then the site WORKS at least lol...

No awesome, clear solution here, but there are hopefully still solutions, so I will be the first to keep you guys in the loop on what's up. If we get blatantly stuck, I'll hire a tech to fix it.

Apologies for our muck-up, honest to goodness didn't expect this to go tits up, so... I apologize for what I thought was a routine task (that has been routine for years prior.)"

I know it will get fixed and thanks to you and the other staff members who are working on fixing it.
Not the first time there have been problems like this I have lived through a number of updates, that have thrown spanners in the works and it always gets fixed in the end!

For members who are not sure if their post has been posted, use this tip.
When posting a post, hit post reply once and then go up to the top left of the screen and click the "Refresh Button".

The page will refresh and you will see your post has been posted!
Hitting "post reply" more than once will cause multiple posts.
If you have written a long post, copy it before you post, then hit "post reply",l then hit the refresh button.
If for some reason your post hasn't posted, just paste the copy you took and try again.
Big thanks to all the Admin team for their hard work in keeping this site up and working, they do a fantastic job and receive very little thanks for their continued efforts!

To the Admin Team
Thank You For All You Do!

I was only referring to posting in general in LS.

Starting a thread, whole different ball game!

If you are having a problem "creating a thread" the thing to do is post that problem here and then tag admin and report the problem ,so it can be looked into.
@Son of Hobbes

Now I have refreshed, I can see I have posted this post in LS.
I will now "Report" this post, so when the staff room is open once again, Admin and Globals will see it and can look into it.
With a system that is not working correctly, we need to think of ways of making sure each problem is reported & that Admin is aware of that problem.
If Admin are not aware that something is amiss they can't know to fix it.
