Simviation Forums

With a new server in place & nearly set up it will soon be time to move the forum files over.

This will inevitably mean freezing the forums for however long it takes - just did a quick check - 600MB & 139,000 files on the forums & that doesn't include the images ... it may take some time & I may have to drop old images again - so old avatars may be exterminated!

The rest of the site SHOULD transfer seamlessly - in other words the main site users will not even know anything has happened .. - if I've got things right  .... but the forums will have to be put on hold during their transfer - I can't see any other way. Because they are live & in constant use any input during work causes major troubles.

good luck with it pete. Congrats on 2000 aswell,

So beware all... ...!
If you don't want to loose your precious avatars now is the time to save them out onto floppies or HDD's... ...!

LOL...!

Cheers all... ...!

Paul.

what are the specs for the new server? i am curious.

Thanks for the reminder Pete

The price of progress  .. go for it Pete !

I hope Fozzer takes his own advice and "backs-up."  It wouldn't be the same without that 20 year old photo of him and his bike - lolq (quietly.)

Good luck Pete - hope it all goes smoothly

Go for it Pete! Just changed my avatar, so it should survive!

Good luck, and may the force be with you!

For a change over time I suggest the weekend of the 26th and 27th as I will be unable to go online for those two days anyway and so I won't notice, or be inconvenienced by the switch!
