There will be a server move taking place around 2pm UK time this Sunday (19th Aug).

To necessitate this move, the forums will be down for around 1 hour, while the database and files are copied over.

I will post more information nearer to the time.

88 miles....................PER HOUR!!!!!

Raz
Err, thats supposed to be 19th Aug i.e. today.

Clovie
you broke it!!! fear

lord xyz
So, some idiot spilt coke on it again.

Raz
Copying the attachments is taking longer than expected. It's over 20GB now, which is actually quite suprising.

After that is done, the forums will be closed while the database is copied over....which is also several GBs...

Raz
Files copied over. Shutting down forums to copy database.

Raz
...and we are done.

Please report any problems here.

Storm
The search is out of order.

Raz
Yikes, look like a lot of things have broke.

Working on it right now.

Raz
PMs and email notifications should be back now.

Storm

So everything should fine now. Fingers crossed.

I took a few hours after everybody else for me to be able to see the forum

TOH
For some reason, the forum does not recognize that I've visited "new" threads, so they stay "bolded" like there's still new posts in the thread. confused

and...

Did anybody experience the following strange behaviour?

2 things about you:

1) You are a RATM fan

2) You never used a Mac before.

Anyway, my browser was refusing to mark threads as read but I restarted it and it went back to normal.

Browser: Safari 2.0.4 Cookie problem was due to changes made to allow login from IP address version to help people whose ISPs don't respect DNS TTL.

Second problem should be fixed now.

Raz
Looks like we may be shifting servers again, as the current one has crashed twice in the past week. ermm

Previous one ran non-stop for over 18months.

At least the first time it crashed it gave us a notification page letting us know. This time was just...blah.

Here's to hoping we get on a good server. *crosses fingers*

Raz
I've just been informed that the problem was bad ram, which has been switched.

Hopefully, the move may not be necessary.

Hope so. yes

Seems like the crash happened at about the same time of the day as the last one.
