Update (puh..) we are back up again and upgraded Topic is solved

[viking60]

Puh the announced update today was not a walk in the park one file in the update package did simply not cut it so I had to replace it with one from the full version - thanks to the phpbb support guys for this tip!

There are many files in phpbb so them spoting it saved me.

We are now on cutting edge phpbb 3.0.12

The changes are:

We are pleased to announce the release of phpBB "Richard 'D¡cky' Foote" 3.0.12. This version is a maintenance release fixing various bugs but not adding any new features. We have updated the list of bots/spiders, further improved compatibility with recent PHP versions, and support MySQL fulltext search on InnoDB for those MySQL versions which provide it. The custom BBCode token LOCAL_URL has been modified to operate closer to its description. If you have any custom BBCodes using the token you should test if the custom BBCode still functions correctly or if you need to replace the token with the new RELATIVE_URL token. Moderators are no longer exempt from post approval, instead the permission "Can post without approval" is applied as it is for all other users. We now reject very long password inputs immediately to save on resources during password checks.

And those who do not update might have a slight problem - since it is not only highly recommended but the only version that will be supported.

We urge you to update your installation as soon as possible. Our support team will only support phpBB 3.0.12, updates to phpBB 3.0.12 and conversions to phpBB 3.0.12. Submissions to our trackers for older versions will not be accepted, please make sure you update before you submit a bug report.

It toke more than 30 minutes this time though

When I saw the error initially, I noted the error and asked the German group I'm in to see if they might know what it might be. I hadn't seen the upgrade notice at that time. Today, someone responded and sent this. Good job on everyone's part for this:

BTW, I wasn't redirected to the backup site. I may have seen the error on the regular forum before it started redirecting, or it may have been that I'm on mobile or kindle.
