FYI - New Forums Software

[Dennis Vogel]

FYI

We're working on updating this forums software and this forum may go down from time to time, but mostly late at night.

[Dennis Vogel]

Heads up - After we get the software updated it's almost certain everyone will have to log-in again

We don't get a lot but it is enough to keep everything going. More would be better but this is exactly where God wants us at this time so I don't concern myself.

I usually save all year and advertise on YouTube at the end of the year, but we have to pay our host for his work on updating this forum as soon as it's done.

And I paid our host for hosting the BT site and this forum ahead until 2029 a few years ago, and I just renewed our domains (bible-truths.com and bibletruths.com) until 2030.

So as far as keeping everything up and running we're good.

Paid up until 2030
That, according to some, could take us all the way to the end...

We confirm the forums are now running the current version of SMF 2.0.18.

If unable to login, please clear all cookies for bible-truths.com


We will give it some time, at least a week or so, then proceed to update the PHP version as well.


We also confirm a commitment to maintain updates of the forums long into the future.


Thank you,

Either is fine

We will be updating the version of PHP off-hours tonight.  We do not expect any compatibility issues, but let us know if anything seems different.

Thank you,

We have completed the upgrade the PHP 7.4.

No further changes to the forums at this time.  We will install updates on a regular basis as they become available.

We have upgraded the forums to SMF version 2.1.8 (the latest) running on PHP 8.2.35.

If anybody has issues logging in, try clearing caches and cookies.

PHP 8.2.35 includes fixes for the remote-code-execution (RCE) of CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619.

Furthermore, the site continues to see sustained bot/scraper traffic.  We have doubled the computing resources and doubled the maximum concurrency of the site.  We will monitor the site concurrency and server load, then further increase the resources as-needed.
