    Forum still has bugs like the header error, the Ducati site is the same, has a fair few offline moments, tbh hardly any other sites I visit crash like these two (ducatiforum), whats up Rob you spill your coffee again or something, UPS offline again like me no power on the key meter...lol That new web server of yours has gone down more times than a good hooker ;)

    More than likely old forum software. I know Rob was going to get something sorted but unsure if he's had any luck or time to do it yet

    If I could make a suggestion, take a look at vBSEO as I think you will find this is causing a number of your errors.
    vBSEO basically is a mod that re-writes url's to make them more search engine friendly.

    Unfortunately vBSEO closed their doors late last year stopping a number features that work within the mod but you can't just delete the mod as all the url's that have been re-written will cause 404 errors

    This may help Rob understand a little better

    Yeah TapaTalk pulls the unread messages through the new posts link from the forum and with it causing a db error that's why it's not populating.

    As an idea if Rob doesn't want to mess around with the live forum in-case something breaks and puts it off line completely, it would be worth creating a sub folder on the server
    Make a back up of the site / database then re-install it into the sub folder and use it as a test site

    He may already be 20 steps in-front of me and this might already be in place
