Re: Slow board performance??

Correct. Every single table was corrupted and unable to be repaired. I learned about the self-backup options the hard way, sadly. I rested my laurels on my hosting provider doing daily backups (I've leaned on these twice in the past), and unbeknownst to me until yesterday, they stopped doing those b...

Re: Slow board performance??

Oddly, only 25 MB. The 10 GB must be based on my entire public_html folder size. The good news is - I believe I've now configured my WHM software to successfully run three backups per week. If all goes successfully, the three most recent backups will always be available to me. Yesterday's experience...

Including all populated data table values, I was told it was. I share your skepticism.

Re: Slow board performance??

Good info; thanks. You are correct, audio. It appears the Buzzboard was the victim of a hacker attack; that is what my web hosting company told me. The entire database crashed. Unfortunately, there were no recent backups of the database available. Shame on me, as I failed to make sure database backu...

Re: Horrible journalism by the Free Press (shocking, I know)

What would be really nice if when a road falls apart a few years after it's been rebuilt, that both print and broadcast media camp out at the contractor's office with "What the fudge???" questions. Publically outing the contractors for shoddy work will either end the crappy work, or end the contrac...

Horrible journalism by the Free Press (shocking, I know)

These useless lumps of crap failed to scrutinize MDOT's absurd claim that an ASPHALT-surfaced Hall Rd. in Macomb County will have a 20 year life span!!! The current road is made of concrete and fell into horrible disrepair after 20 years. We're supposed to believe a crappier material such as asphalt...

Re: Fun piece on WILS turning 70

Ha! This station is the same age as their typical listener. :)

I will say the new imaging sounds good. The local newscasts still need to be dressed up, though. Station still sounds low budget when compared to WOOD in Grand Rapids.

Re: Then, there's this.....

The incessant advertising of WDIV's low rated morning show (I won't call it a newscast) during their 5:30p and 6:00p evening newscasts has reached nauseating proportions. They can plug it all they want. The on-air talent stinks. Obnoxious Brandon + Mushmouth the traffic reporter who is incapable of ...

Re: Get ready for more awful morning radio...

Is anyone listening to the Rover morning show on 101.3? Doesn't look like it!!!

Will be laughing my ass off later this year when this station (yet again) falls below a 2 share.

Re: Slow board performance??

Thanks for the info.

I am going to try to upgrade board software this weekend. However, to be able to do so, I need to upgrade my version of php first. I plan on reaching out to my hosting service later today to get the ball rolling on that process.

Re: Mike Ilitch dead at 87

In the eulogizing of Mr. Ilitch, the crony capitalism-media complex is on full display in this city. The fact of the matter is - he's a businessman. A very adept businessman, and there's nothing wrong with that. I find it admirable, in fact. But let's cut the baloney. He's not a saint. He stiffed th...
