You may see that some Plugins are not working, such as Monetary, and Styled Names.
The reason is because they both rely on the Yootil plugin of Peter's, which is currently down at the moment. Something to do with the server it's hosted on having DDOS attacks. Should be alright again soon. Plus,
Smangii needs to update to the newest version of Yootil.
ProBoards have also blocked pixeldepth (the host yootil is on), until it is up and working, because it was causing many forums to load slowly.
I, or
Smangii will respond here when we see that all is well. Or if there is anyone else who is active on Peter's Yootil or Monetary threads on PBS, feel free to update us too.

Smangii I am actually very upset that I didn't get 20k before members...
Wasn't it against PB's plugin rules to host stuff yourself due to this reason..?

What, so you can host with PB instead and pay god knows how much, or make the users of the plugin pay? No thanks. I'd rather some down time from a plugin, than pay for more space
Also,
Smangii, update the YOOTIL plugin damn it!!

You don't pay for PB space. You just put the plugin code in the editor from PB. This means you need to update the plugin for a new version of the plugin. With peter's, I believe this is not the case. And then you get downtime.
We'll burn that bridge when we come to it.

Does PB allow updating a plugin with a single click from the admin panel? That's the only advantage of hosting a code externally, so you can make sure all users are on the same version etc.

Yootil you never used to have to update, but now you do because I think they have made Peter change it

Auto updating is bad, usually. Because then people don't update plugins based on yootil and it breaks when peter makes a breaking change.

Well, it always worked fine. And,
Smangii UPDATE YOOTIL ffs.
No plugins that need it work until you update it!

That's because it's not that big yet. As more and more plugins start using Yootil, it's going to give problems. If yootil updates, a plugin that uses it might not have updated yet to use the latest yootil code specification. This will break stuff eventually. That's why you need manual updating, so people can choose to update all plugins at once. (seeing as other plugins dependent on yootil won't be updated right away after peter pushes his new version)

Actually, a lot of plugins use Yootil.

Well this appears to be happening again...
I don't see colored names or UBBC in Quick reply. Not sure what else is being affected, but those two are definitely not working. Can anyone else confirm? I'm in Chrome.

I use Chrome, and Quick Reply BBCode work fine for me.. Colored names all are showing for me too.

It's not showing up for me in Firefox either... Maybe something with my computer?
I don't know how I check or fix this, though

Do plugins work on a test forum or anywhere else?
I honestly dunno what to suggest
Edit:
Do they work on other test themes on here? If you have a test account, if you switch to it, do they then work?

Nope they don't work any any account, in any browser. I even removed all extensions and plugins for chrome, nothing's working

If you hover the menu, the button "Forum", does it reveal a dropdown?
