evancelt Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Hi @Mister Phes Not sure if this is only happening for me, but when I visit the Brethren of the Brick Seas sub-forum, i just see a white WSOD page instead of the forum! In the network tab of my browser, it is receiving a 200 response but blank content. Other sub-forums / messaging work. Thanks! Edited January 6, 2021 by evancelt Quote
gedren_y Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Chrome won't load anything with the link. I tried direct linking to a page with one of my notifications, and it still didn't work. Edit: I just checked the Forum Information and Help page, and there a couple of threads from the end of last month about other pages having the same problem. Edited January 6, 2021 by gedren_y Quote
Professor Thaum Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 Same constatation for me, Bobs and the Brethren court are down. Perhaps calling @Bonaparte ? Quote
Captain Dee Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 Ok, so it isn't just me. Everything else seems to work fine. Quote
evancelt Posted January 6, 2021 Author Posted January 6, 2021 BoBs sub forum uses a different theme than this forum so could be an issue specific to that other theme's template files Quote
evancelt Posted January 7, 2021 Author Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) It does seem like this has happened recently with other forums and is related to their forum design themes Edited January 7, 2021 by evancelt Quote

NOD Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 I've also an empty (white) website. I experienced the problem at the company I worked for before. Some of the company's websites were no longer available, others were available. The whole thing took 1 week until it worked to some extent again. Well, after that we had to correct errors on the homepage for 2 months. The web content management system was responsible. They made a software update. With Eurobricks it would be: "Powered by Invision Community" https://invisioncommunity.com/ If Eurobricks (hopefully) does daily backups, then the damage is minimal. There is also the following option: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/contact/ In my experience, a forum is more effective if many different users write it every day (not the same user every day). It's more effective because everyone can see it. It is important to keep the topic alive and not let it perish. Nobody cares if a single person writes. Only when a lot of people write does someone answer. We all must remember that Brethren of the Bricks Seas is a free game. That is why we should all be grateful if it (hopefully) works again soon.

evancelt Posted January 7, 2021 Author Posted January 7, 2021 Agreed - I think we just need to get the attention of a server admin who has access to server error logs / debugging so they can see what about the forum theme for the BoBs subforum is throwing a wrench in the works! Often themes need to be updated to keep pace with underlying CMS updates (a change to the core software ripples through to changes in hooks/filters in the templates and some older ones get deprecated).

dr_spock Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 It also happened with the Technic Forum last week or so. @Jim temporary fix was to apply the Star Wars theme. Quote

Sounds like you guys are on it. If you want any extra help, PM the error logs over and I'd be happy to take a look. I was an early adopter of PHP in 2002 and have decades of experience w/ Linux.

So potentially there is an error with in the BoBS theme... Although, the BoBS forum just uses the default theme with a different banner, whereas the LEGO Pirates Forum theme has direct customisation to the HTML and CSS. Quote
