I am very sorry folks but our hosting company recently swapped X Marks over to new servers. These servers are based on mySQL 8 and do not handle the SQL 5 format that X Marks vBulletin ver. 4 is currently using.

I have been in contact with a few folks about upgrading X Marks to vBulletin 5 or even 6 but our current layout is highly customized and few seem to be willing to want to customize a new forum. Everyone is asking if we would be satisfied with a stock vBulletin page in similar colors to the current layout but without such things as the X Marks Tartan background.

I am now waiting on pricing quotes.

But until we can upgrade the forum there will be a few glitches.

If you are getting a 404 or 403 error message may I suggest that you clear your browser history and cookies. It is possible that you are running into a saved version of the forum that happened during the server swap. I got 403 error messages for a full day just after the swap until I cleared my browser.
