Very good to hear.

NOTE, our server version is far behind. But I am NOT going to update that, for a while, to make sure things are working. The tapatalk upgrade process kind of sux, and causes loss of 5 or 6 of my hand modifications to site files, so it takes a decent amount of time to do, and want to make darn sure things are running correctly before I undertake that upgrade.

I just downloaded tapatalk for use solely on this site and so far I like it a lot. Glad you dedicated fellows got it working!

Agreed, but we are a year behind, AND the current version is a major release. I am going to find out what is there/fixed before doing anything. But I am pretty comfortable that it is working right at this time.

The PHP engine had to be recompile by hand (old school), with the XMLParse component forced to be on to get it to work. Doing that also 'fixed' the AutoMOD component within the phpbb system, so it was pretty obvious that this correction was certainly something that needed to be done. This happened when UJ upgraded the FreeBSD system. I am not sure why they changed how the PHP was built but they did. That XMLParse module is a little older, and performance is not as good as using other modules, but it is listed as being built by default. Well, it was not being built. here. Go figure. Was a very ugly little bug to find, because there was no real diagnostics given of what was wrong.

I hope this was the only anomaly. If users know of parts of the board that do not work like they should, or which have been 'broken' for the last 9 months or so, then shoot me a pm listing exactly what is happening now, and what 'should' be happening, and I will make sure that some other features were not built into the existing PHP engine. I think we have it all now, but who knows.
