    Default Random error

    Over the last couple of weeks, I have been getting the attached error on assorted pages. Goes away if I refresh. No big issue, but I thought it best to mention it. The screenshot was taken a couple of minutes ago.

    Using IE9 on Windows 7.

    I clicked on your thumbnail and it came up with "invalid attachment, if you followed a ligament link notify an administrator."

    It's a webserver/database error. Probably related to the website's workload at that particular instant in time.

    It doesn't matter what computer, operating system or browser you are using.

    It's to do with the fact the server is running a newer version of PHP that the forum is designed to work with.

    Been to Cairns for a cupla days but I saw it on Wednesday night.
    Refreshing the page fixed it.
    Can't remember which forum or thread though

    It's been a long long time since I've worked in PHP but as soon as I read this reply it came back to me. (Mostly anyway)
    It is indeed a conflict in the coding where the server is trying to interprate a piece of code that is now basically obsolete or superceded. (If my memory serves)

    Is there an update to vBulletin that has perhaps not been installed yet? Or a recent change to the OS of the server?

    The code is trying to pass a variable by reference, which is a no-no these days.

    The board is running v.3.8.3, and vBulletin is up to 4.0 now. I'm guessing there are fees if the admins want the latest version running though.
