Over the course of the next few weeks, I will be working to update the php version of the old green FinchForum board. Dreamhost, our web host, no longer supports the version of php the board uses. This may result in a loss of the old FinchForum gallery, as the framework responsible for the gallery will not be supported by the forum’s php update (updates tend to break things instead of fix them these days, as you can see). I have the gallery backed up, and hopefully I’ll find an updated version of an add-on that would restore the gallery when the board upgrade is complete.

Expect periodic downtime for archive.finchforum.com as the days roll by.

DreamHost has brought the old FinchForum board back online to give me some time to update it. You may access it here: www.archive.finchforum.com

The board is running on an outdated version of phpbb, and if I upgrade, it is possible that the gallery may be lost.

Once again, if you need to backup anything from the board, write down contacts, or especially save contents from the gallery, do so immediately and register an account on our new board. The old green board will no longer be accepting user registrations.

In the meantime, I’m going to try to figure out how to keep the gallery during the updating process. We have about a month to keep running the outdated version of the board until DreamHost will no longer support it.

If you experience any issues retrieving your data, please contact me either here, or PM me on the new forum here.
