I am going to attempt to upgrade the forum version.

That will make uploading pictures much easier

upgraded the forum software from 3.0.12 to 3.0.14 prior to the major upgrade.

Got the forum picture gallery working with existing version of coppermine 1.5.26. Enabled 'debug mode' please send an image of error screen if you see an error.

there is a new home page template at the coolthaihouse.com/index.html . If you still get redirected directly to the forum and would like to see it you can do this for chrome browser or something similar for others:

To clear a permanent redirect, go to chrome://settings/clearBrowserData and from there only clearing "cached images and files" cleared the redirect.

contact form not yet working.

[dozer]

OK, contact form is working now. You can get to it from the home page of coolthaihouse.com/index.html, the URL is coolthaihouse.com/contact.html.

Also updated the blog to the latest wordpress version (although the content is 10 years old - lol) on the blog page (under articles)>

Also the original coolthaihouse section is restored and working.
