AlltheInterweb Answers is Under Repair
Having being screwed for most of the year due to issues with switching to PHP 7 (like many parts of the stuff on the web hosting I use), since early morning on Monday 14th October 2019 repairs have been underway to once again try get AlltheInterweb Answers functional again.
AlltheInterweb Answers is an effort by this AlltheInterweb website you’re looking at to have a go at creating a Q&A website similar to Yahoo Answers or Quora, using a free to download PHP script and available add-ons.
Repairs include upgrading the script from version 1.7.4 to 1.8.3, which apparently likes newer versions of PHP better than the one that was in use. It appears to have done the trick for the worst of the problems, and I can access the admin bits of the site again.
Continuing repairs are on-going by the removal of a s**t-load of spam posts, mostly from the IP Address ranges:
The site will become active again when I’ve finished tweaking, and making sure everything works.
Trying to bring back AlltheInterweb Answers
Some years ago I created a Q&A website called “AlltheInterweb Answers” after getting pissed-off by the Yahoo Answers website.
Having moved it to a different server for hosting after the original one was starting to piss me off, and lost the original domain and just integrated the site into the main AlltheInterweb one.
I’ve left it pretty much untouched for months (or maybe even years), so I’ve started having a poke around trying to revive it. The site pretty much still works, but online video from YouTube no longer seems to automatically embed for some reason.
So back in March I had a poke around with it to make it usable again…..
