			<title>UBB.threads Test Script Update</title>
			<link>https://virtualnightclub.net/blog/view/58/ubb-threads-test-script-update.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Due to PHP8 being more strict we've identified a bug in the Test Script which will stop the page from fully parsing when exec is not allowed on the server (for the ImageMagick binaries detection); this should be fixed in the 20241025 release from earlier today.  Additionally we retooled how some of our internal checks are performed.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The server abruptly stopped at approximately midnight Pacific time, I spent an hour with tech support just to figure out the issue was a hardware malfunction that had to be worked on with a higher tier of support. The server came back about 10:00 am Pacific time.

For anyone curious who can understand server problems, the issue passed down from the web host is as follows:
vz03-phx VPS node is down
Resolved - The RAID controller was replaced for this machine. The server is up and running now.&hellip;]]></description>
