Another weekend, another hiccup . . .

Can't remember the technical stuff, but the guy on the support forum was wittering on about "accidentally moving servers before the new server was ready". Or something like that. So they screwed up and I guess we now wait until they recover lost posts and sort this latest mess out. Hopefully . . . . .

It's annoying, but we'll get through it.

Notice: Forum Server Move - PLEASE READ

Wasn't aware of this:
"Hi everyone,



I like to announce that we are going to be moving our servers in the next few days. We have already started copying files between servers.. as a result you may experience some forum slowdown, until the copying is finished. We apologize for that.


Once the servers are moved, there maybe disruption of service for perhaps a day, as the domain name servers adjust, and we work out server move bugs. We mot likely will splash a message on the forums, and disable the forums for that day, so that any of your new posts will not be lost.


The good news is that once we have moved servers, we will have much better control over the applications, and can satisfy upgrade requests that have already been made.


Thank you for your patience as this much needed move happens. I will keep you posted of the progress.


Regards,


steve

The long anticipated forum move is planned to start later tonight. I plan to disable log-on to the forums, so that there would be no changes to the data being moved. I am hoping things can be wrapped out by Friday at the latest. I will keep this support forum open in the meantime.



Thanks for your patience."

So hopefully everything will be back to normal for the weekend :-)
