That's all.

It’s been a difficult repair. Hopefully the fix holds.

Wallington · « **Reply #2 on:** January 09, 2025, 11:13:09 PM »

I won't understand, but what happened? Another crash?

Welcome back TAC.

There is so much valuable information here. I thought it was gone for good. I hope the fix holds too!

The site didn't crash. The php version on the server was updated automatically and the site didn't like it. The hosting support wasn't any help, so it took a lot of time to troubleshoot.

Happy to see TAC back. There's a few forums out there but I only frequent 3 of them. TAC being my number 1.

One forum, no names, stated they were the last one standing. Fools, to really believe that, when there are several still around.

They might not be the last standing, but they're standing tall.

Thank You Mr. Bandit!

I have no idea how much is required to maintain this site. But I am forever grateful for your efforts and support.

Thank you for taking the time to repair although now on my phone we went to the old 1980s look 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s like having a friend go on vacation and while they’re gone you realize that you miss the banter

If only we could fix the log in, but hardly worth the effort since not much to come back for now

My log in seems fine, but yeah, not a whole lot going on.

Wallington · « **Reply #20 on:** January 13, 2025, 12:14:04 AM »

Nah, it's ok, mine was playing up before. Only lets me log in using Google chrome on a desktop, any others it instantly locks me out and says too many attempts, or timed-out or something else, and to contact administrator, which I obviously did and may as well not have bothered. I went back through my previous posts and they were already nothing attempts at creating interest on a forum that was doing nothing. Sometimes there's something interesting to discuss, other times there's not much.

N PRGRES · « **Reply #21 on:** January 13, 2025, 07:03:48 AM »

I appreciate this site since I don't have facebook.

roadking77 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 13, 2025, 07:14:48 AM »

Me too. May not be a lot going on but a little is better than nothing. Any post is a good post. I go on py but only about once a week as it seems more gto'centric. Different atmosphere there than here.

79GoldnTan · « **Reply #23 on:** January 13, 2025, 06:30:32 PM »

And life go's on, I am comfortable here, so I try to check 8n once a day. Don't always need a lot going on. When I was building my car there was always something interesting. Would have been so much more difficult without all of everyone's help. Now I don't mind seeing what's not going on.

mrbandit · « **Reply #24 on:** January 17, 2025, 09:04:13 AM »

I have had a very hectic/busy last 2 years, so I am really sorry to let TAC stay like this. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I'll share those experiences very soon. Lets just say it was a restore of a grand proportion. We aren't done yet, but its very close. I took about 1k pictures along the way, but I'm not sure I would subject everyone to that.

I have a list of things that need to be taken care of and I've begun working on that. SSL is #1 on the list and is causing the most trouble with the forum. I'm also open to suggestions for alternate forum platforms if anyone has any.

A very BIG thanks to Mike for keeping the lights on in my absence.

It looks like the "path" in the forum template is hardcoded to http rather then https, which is what is driving the template nuts. I'm going to try changing that today to see if we can get back working eitherway.

rkellerjr · « **Reply #26 on:** January 17, 2025, 09:20:09 AM »

Just FYI info,

While the site is working, there isn't any formatting for me both on Firefox and Chrome and ton's of non-car ads are showing up around the forum like Temu and Petsmart. No complaining, just info to help.

mrbandit · « **Reply #27 on:** January 17, 2025, 09:25:34 AM »

I now have SSL working with the forum. The formatting should work everywhere now with both (SSL) https://www.transamcountry.com/community and http://www.transamcountry.com/community

N PRGRES · « **Reply #28 on:** January 17, 2025, 01:57:55 PM »

Hey! It looks normal all of a sudden!

ryeguy2006a · « **Reply #29 on:** January 17, 2025, 01:59:26 PM »

Fantastic Mike! Mine looks normal again.

Awesome sauce, site looks great!

roadking77 · « **Reply #33 on:** January 18, 2025, 10:08:47 AM »

MrBandit, thank you for all that you do to keep TAC rolling along. I have been using firefox for the last year as as you have stated, it did not work on my edge. I just checked on the edge and it is working fine, like before. HOWEVER, I have been logged out and now I cannot get on. Is there a simple way to reset my password? I have been logged in forever and have no idea what it is?

FormTA · « **Reply #34 on:** January 19, 2025, 07:36:06 AM »

I've been away for a little bit. Saw the site was down one day and figured that was the end. Glad to see it back up and functioning as it used to. Hopefully I can get back to uploading some content. Glad to see my friends are all hear!

Same here - thought it was gone for good too. Thanks for bringing it back to life!

Thank you very much for what you do and the fix, TAC looks and works great on Chrome.

N PRGRES · « **Reply #37 on:** February 02, 2025, 02:36:55 PM »

Starting to get some people back. How exciting!!!!

roadking77 · « **Reply #38 on:** February 02, 2025, 03:45:33 PM »

Finally able to get logged in

I have been able to get on through firefox but not on edge as it took away my always logged in. I had no idea what my password was. I was working in the shop today and found an old project notebook from 11 years ago that I had when I started my 77 restoration. Lo and behold on the front page was a list of contacts and TAC was amongst them with my password.
Thanks to Yetti for trying to get this resolved before but my email was not working properly.
