Thanks guys.

Hi Guys, We're getting lots of spammers registering and some of them are taking to PM's to spam discreetly. What I'd like to do is restrict new users for 15 posts or so. Starting with just not being able to PM during this period. This used to be a setting but now it seems that I need to make possibly a 'New Member' group to put new registrations in, which is restricted, and then auto promote them to the Members group after 15 posts. Is this correct? Is there anything I should know before I do this? Thanks, Christian

Thanks Marc

Hi All, I'm sure this is an easy fix and I just need to rebuild images, but some of the thumbs on my site are blurry; https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/472901-my-e90-bmw-330i/page/5/#comment-7899665 If you click through to the main image it is nice and crisp. Maybe this is because thumbnail size may have been increased a few years ago? Thanks

Thanks

Hi Marc, any updates? Thanks

Haha yep. That was a fairly crucial omission. Sorry. User is RAJ_007

Ok, that issue is fixed, back on 7.4. So, I'd still love your help with the original issue.

Argh!! I think my whole problem was that redis wasn't clearing on restart!! I had to run the cli followed by the commands FLUSHALL & FLUSHDB. 7.4 working fine. I'll try 8.0 again tomorrow with the flushing of redis. 🤦‍♂️

The failed 8.0 upgrade thread is here;

Rolled back to 7.4. Just not able to get any traction with troubleshooting 8.0 Unfortunately the AdminCP still does not load. I'd still like some help if possible.

Thanks Marc, it's all up to date and the access details are correct. I have another thread in the support area about a failed PHP 8.0 upgrade. I can't access the admincp at all.

Yeah I've lost it all now. 500's being thrown everywhere. It could be that they were being thrown before though, I only just disabled my Cloudflare cache. I've updated my access info with working details.

Thanks Randy, but Recovery mode just made the whole site start throwing 500's while still not loading the admincp.

Hi Guys, The upgrade to 8.0 is almost done. The site loads and runs fine. BUT I can't do anything in the admincp, I get fatal errors. The issue is the cached plugin file "template_0_77e511f3f597b974567a95c3a1860bbf_plugins.php" - it is throwing an exception; "PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Unparenthesized `a ? b : c ? d : e` is not supported" I thought I disabled all the non 8.0 supporting plugins and apps, but I guess not. I went through the DB to disable all the plugins. I left the applications because the update to 4.7.2 that I only did this morning already disabled all non 8.0 applications. I then deleted the contents of the cache tables (I made backups of each). I don't know what I can do now as I can't get into the cp to clear the caches or check status. Would love any help. Thanks, Christian
