I've contacted the admin (Chris) to let him know about the issue.

Best regards,

Thanks for the update Ken, I was wondering if it is just me having problems. Let´s hope it won´t be anything serious like last time.

Just this minute checked and it was working fine for me including two new updates to threads. Make sure you are not loading from Cache.

Edit: apologies I went direct to forum not the home page which indeed does show the Apache page, however http://www.weather-watch.com/smf/ works for me.

The "123" page is the weather-watch.com domain, make sure David you go to the forum website:

I just clicked on the link earlier in the thread. Someone may want to tell the admin of that domain they might want to setup a redirect in htaccess or similar else they miss a lot of traffic.

Good point, I can mention it to Chris, I am in contact with him.

Is it me or is the weather-watch forum down once again?

I can get to the http://www.weather-watch.com/smf/index.php?action=unread;all;start=0 - All Unread Messages but the rest of the site gives me nothing but gibberish code-looking characters.

It appears to be down.

saratogaWX · « **Reply #11 on:** November 14, 2015, 06:33:06 PM »

It appears to have forgotten to process PHP.. instead, the index.php page's raw source is emitted instead. Could be a simple .htaccess issue to select a PHP handler for .php extension.

I've sent a note to Chris (administrator).

Jáchym · « **Reply #12 on:** November 14, 2015, 06:51:47 PM »

I can only load the main page, and also, I have received about 5 emails - notifications that there is a new post in threads I watch - but there are none - or at least I cannot access the thread.

saratogaWX · « **Reply #13 on:** November 14, 2015, 07:04:12 PM »

I'm still getting the 'view source' version of the page (PHP unprocessed). Chris is working on it now.. just got a message from him.

saratogaWX · « **Reply #14 on:** November 14, 2015, 07:18:33 PM »

Now it's back to normal

Thanks Chris (administrator) of the weather-watch.com forum.

Jáchym · « **Reply #15 on:** November 14, 2015, 07:22:33 PM »

Confirmed - working fine now

Thanks Chris and Ken

Is it just me who is getting this when trying to access the wd forum?
