I've been paying for a license that doesn't expire for more than 10 years. That's not the question or an issue. My question is whether anyone knew of software or a service that would make a copy. If not (and I suspect not, since I sure tried to find a good one, but couldn't), that's fine. :)

If you know of a program or service that will do that, please let me know. I haven't found one yet that will create a stand-alone, mirror-image copy of a Xenforo forum (or, I would imagine any other similar forum or site). They always create a copy that's broken in one way or another, and...

Has anyone ever created a static copy of a forum to leave online as an archive? I don't want to make the forum read-only, I want to copy it - so it is still readable without relying on the database. It seems like it should be possible, but I'm looking for tools and the only thing that comes...

Yeah, I changed config.php to point to the copy of the database. But I never rule out the possibility that I screwed up, so you may be on to something. Thanks for the replies.

Okay. Well, I had to restore a database backup so I'm back up and running (minus the last 16 hours of posts). I'd sure like to know what happened though. If anyone else was ever stuck in maintenance mode I'd appreciate learning anything you know about why it happened.

Let's try this then, what would make a forum that's working normally become stuck in maintenance mode? Worse yet, what would cause the maintenance mode message to be displayed in admin when I try to go to any admin link?

I did not have two installs on the same domain. I wanted to test the beta, so I installed on a different domain using a copy of my live forum database. Then my live forum died.

I know we're not supposed to install XF on a domain it's not licensed for, but I did anyway, since I remember reading here somewhere that as long as "test" was in the path it should be okay. Well, it was okay, on the test install. Then I went back to my live forum and find that it's in...

I'm sure the developers would appreciate that. I've learned from painful personal experience that web sites are one of the first things people drop when the economy goes into the toilet (pun intended). And it certainly looks like that's where we're headed. Again.

"The U.S. imports very little toilet paper – less than 10% in 2017. And most of that comes from Canada and Mexico."

Little did I know...

Got to use this for the first time today, quite excellent.

I'm still seeing the error.

Thanks!

Since upgrading to the 2.1 release candidate I've been getting this error when the "Sync updated posts" cron runs every hour: ErrorException: Threadloom Error, sync halted. If this persists, please contact Threadloom support. Error: failed due to db error: MySQL statement prepare error [1054]...
