Okay, for those who are interested here's the update:
We had to upgrade the forums software to the latest version because the older version we were running was prone to hacks and had security holes. However, all of the "supporting" plug-ins and software were never updated in the past either. So, updating to the latest version of vBulletin and PHP has caused a lot of issues with these older software programs to surface. So, as of today, I've done the following:
- Disabled Tapatalk (it was an older version that was running, and it was also generating database errors)
- Disabled phpAds (running on another forum we acquired at the same time (986Forum.com). This was causing a bunch of PHP errors.
The Wiki software that is currently running on this site is also an older version, and is generating timeout errors. I did some research and the errors we're seeing are a known issue with the older software. So, upgrading to the newer versions should fix this issue (I'll upgrade the server tonight).
I appreciate everyone's feedback and support as we make this transition. The good news is that when it is all said and done, we will be on the latest platform, running fast, and safe from hackers.
Thanks,
Wayne
