Server Upgrade: EVERYONE READ

[Ben]

Turned off some additional plug ins/features on the plugin side of the forum, and everything seems to be running much smoother for me at the moment. Just a few more days and all these issues should be done for good, thanks for your patience.

Only thing I've noticed is the Sigs and shout. Interesting side note if you have a WS avatar it's still there. Seems like it occured the same time tonight as it did the other night.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Move will happen tomorow morning with the backups and getting everything ready will go down between 9 and 10 am. Site should be done for a few hours at the most, but there may be DNS issues for some like the last time we moved, so for certain members it could take anywhere from 2-24 hours to regain access to the site.

There was some issues with the new server that prevented to move from happening this morning. Everything seems sorted now though, so the move will be attempted again tomorrow morning. Sorry for the delay, but it will all be worth it once it's done and we won't have to worry about performance issues for the foreseeable future.

ITs all good. I didn't even notice sigs were gone.

well not all sigs... heh heh.

UPDATE: There's still issues with the server configuration Once it get sorted I'll be able to make the move but I don't know when that will be. Will give a day or so notice once I get the ok from the hosting company.

 

[Ben]

Going to make the move this afternoon.....so there will be some downtime.

 

[Ben]

All done.

Hopefully should notice a significant increase in load speeds.

 

[Dale]

Awesome, didn't even notice any downtime :ace:

Was only down about 20 minutes for once things went smoothly.
