I'm on the Aussie Guitar Gear Head forum, joined there 18 months ago or so. They don't send out pm notifications either . . .
On the AGGH forum, email notifications can be altered in your profile settings, under "Personal Messaging". This feature is normally on by default, so it must have been disabled during your account set up. You can change it back, or I can change it for you.
I understand fully how that works, thanks, but since I don't have a valid email server, and the hosting provider blocks local email sending, it won't work.
I 'HAVE' a valid email server, I run my own for my personal domain and business domains, but I don't control the ampgarage.com domain so I can't point the MX to my servers to get it working without the domain owners permission, I've asked, he's said no.

I believe I just didn't look. I hate the PM window thing anyway, and checking all the time is more work than just having someone email me directly so I can keep track of the conversation if it goes over multiple emails.
With 30k emails (typically) per year, tracking a PM window notification, then the PM, then the reply...well, you get the idea. Easier to email me directly and not waste time or bandwidth on a forum's server.
I probably just didn't check, and I found it 14 months later. My bad.
Latest fix. I was made aware of some threads that were missing file links. The files themselves weren't gone, but the new forum version can't link to the place they were in. I copied the files from that location to the current uploads dir, and updated the DB for any links to the old path to point to the new path. They should all now be fixed. An example page that was broken and now works: https://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16
Please do let me know if you find any other dead links that point to files on THIS site. I can't control remote sites sadly.
As some of you may have noticed, the site was hard down for quite some time. It was the hosting provider. Everything was down. Even their main website.
For those that read the 'new posts' we had an outage, the site's tapatalk plugin isn't working so I finally got in touch with the hosting company support, and they were useless, didn't answer any questions, and then did a full scan of all of Allyn's sites and found some malware and shut down all his sites... including ones that weren't impacted.
So I helped Allyn clean them up today, and we're back...
If you're thinking of doing any kind of web hosting, PM me for who NOT to use, I don't want to directly slag them by name here on their own hosted platform, so they don't go nuts on Allyn, but man, this is some ridiculous stuff.
The malware they found was on files from 2015. They acted like it was a 'regular' scan that found the malware, but in a previous email they'd told me the manually scanned the folder because they saw some things that were confusing/odd.
in other words they don't even scan for bad stuff on their customers sites at all..

Well at least we're back up.

It looks like ampgarage.com is on godaddy
GoDaddy are worthless host
You guys need to step up to a cloud server
I pay $110 a month for my own server
My host is Liquid web
They are awesome and provide one on one service
Check them out here https://www.liquidweb.com/
I agree completely, my job is working in aws, so I do this stuff all day long.
Sadly, I don't own the domain, it's Allyn's so it's up to him. If he want's to pay for that kind of setup, or pass the domain on, it's up to him. Godaddy is the registrar I think, but the site is through hostmonster.com.
Do you know where it came from? I can't easily remove/fix/find it unless i know the source I think... or at least I'll have to clean up the dead link. Someone may have deleted the original attachment, and someone else had linked to it?
