NWKA Is Mostly Back

I shouldn't have to change the forum SMTP settings, as they did not change.  Checking with the hosting admin if the new server needs to be configured to enable SMTP, or something else ...

Thanks for all you do to have this great resource for all of us to use. I know how much of a headache it can be to run a forum, especially when things fail unexpectedly, and if the job is done well most users don't even know how much effort it takes. I hope you never have to buy your own food or drinks at any meetups. If I'm ever at one that you also attend, let me know and I'll buy you a round for sure. Same goes for any other forum admins here.

Looks to be working now.  All I did was re-enter the password.  Not sure why that would cause an issue, because I hadn't changed the password, and it was working before the move.

Probably had a certificate change under the covers, and needed a revalidation.

Oh, I know nothing about computers.

last sunday or monday i posted  "depoe bay 8/3/17-8/5/17 pic/report" , it was there with pic on lets talk kayak fishing forum next day it was gone. any idea`s what happened to it?

have tried emailing nwka admin but keep getting a delivery failure notice.

"Mostly" was the key word in "NWKA Is Mostly Back".  A couple posts I made Sunday just before the server crashed are gone, too.

Not just my first place prize-winning AOTY photos...   

Thanks for busting your hump, Allen. I got worried when I started getting a redirect to what I think is a vpn service called kayak fishing frontiers

It was lost in the shuffle and never to be recovered.  You've been screwed over man! 
You need to sue for your NWKA membership dues back.

I don't think you could have posted on Sunday or Monday as the server was still down.  Regardless, I am not sure what might have happened.

Also, can you give me more details on the "delivery failure notice"?  Is this just straight email and not via the site?  Plain email shouldn't be affected by the server move, as mail is hosted elsewhere.

Allen, I forgot my password on NCKA and asked for it emailed twice once with the username and once with my email associated to the account, I still gavent received an email and I got a pm from Jake that wasn't emailed out. As a note TLW reminded me of the password to NCKA so I'm good there just not receiving emails. I also emailed the main admin email when it went down with no response. I can pm you my email if needed.

Mail looks to NOT be working again.  Investigating ...

Looks like you fixed it. I just got 22 emails from this forum, so whatever queue the outgoing emails were sitting in is emptying itself.

Yup.  Problem solved.

You da man Allen... you da man

Still a few migration issues, I don't envy anyone moving to new servers...

I have been getting a number of error messages about "resources exceeded" the last couple of days.  I don't recall the exact wording.  Not sure if it was from Apache if y'all are using that, or from elsewhere in your server stack.

Yeah, it's a 508 error code.
