User registration is now working again.

Note; email will go into the new user 'spam' folder. This is partially due to the routing of emails via a free smtp service. I may try to look at this more in the future.

A new nicer landing page at www.coolthaihouse.com/index.html with options to go to the forum or gallery. [also just added a section to reference most of the original coolthaihouse site from the original build in the early 2000's. Most of the stuff is still valid for a basic build, the house is still...

The original photo gallery should be working at www.coolthaihouse.com/cthpics/index.php. If you are logged on to the forum you should automatically be logged into the photo gallery for your user.

System was down for a while. There has been a recurring problem with spam abuse use of the server via a vulnerability. When it occurs I have been trying to unsuccessfully fix it, think I finally got it. It is really annoying because it creates a problem with the hosting service, but does not affect ...

Upgraded to the latest version of phpbb. phpbb which runs the forum is old, but still getting updates. The 'has not been correctly installed' was an error that got me going for a while. Anyway all good in the end.

Just had an issue with the quarterly backup processes that run automatically. The backup filled up the disc space. Once the disc space issue was resolved, the mysql database was rendered as 'corrupt'. I have not seen or encountered this error before, probably more typical of a large database. phpBB ...

Looks like things are still working today, should be OK for a while

There have been some nasty hacks on the server lately. No data lost and I now have current backups. Hopefully things should be working again now.

Just in case it is somewhat confusing, tcth is a test user that I use to test out any kind of permission problems, because if I test under my own ID it will work differently from a normal registered user.

The Thai language is ราคาประมูล which roughly translates to estimated value. The land office uses this when transferring, it is often much lower than the actual value as people can declare what ever value they want as the sales price.

what it should look like now.

The site now has a SSL certificate which means among other things it can be found in google. Please check to make sure you have the lock icon in the upper left, if not you can either control F5 or shift F5 to refresh your cache. Attachment shows previous state.

I would just like to reiterate that it is basically impossible for the error to be on the coolthaihouse side. This is because if the registration system works for one registrant it would be working for all registrants. Notably depending on a number of factors the activation email probably is going i...

I just tested the registration to another alternate testing email. THE ACTIVATION email was received but immediately went into the 'spam' folder. PLEASE be advised when registering that more than likely the ACTIVATION EMAIL will go to SPAM. You will need to retrieve it from your email spam folder to...

Received an email about a registration problem of not receiving the email. If you try to register but don't receive the activation email, please check in your spam folder. I just tested the registration process and found it to be working.
