This has been so frustrating. I increased storage from 20 GiB to 50 but still there have been failures on this forum due to file corruption. I finally caught it in the act of failing and found that although I was paying for 50 GiB, I was getting "No space on device" errors at only 18 GiB. Obviously the hosting provider was selling more disk space than they had. It took two weeks of calls and chats to finally convince them, but now I see that the amount of storage available has greatly increased and is showing 67% free. The forum seems to have been stable for the last ten days so perhaps we are out of the woods.
Unfortunately this particular forum software (Cutecast) is no longer supported. I have been able to fix a few issues that came up and add rudimentary photo support but in an ideal world it would be replaced by something newer. Unfortunately (again) this would be a tremendous amount of work. I have been able to largely reverse engineer the software so that I can extract all of the existing and useful posts, but importing that into a new system would be challenging. I may try it over the winter when the weather is too poor to fly.
