Forum move
 

I've finally managed to move the forum to its new home.

Its old home was some BT virtualised data center cloud, and the CPU and RAM that we got was poor and causing irratic behaviour.

I'm hoping the new home will provide more power, stability and better protection.

It will take a few days for the DNS records to update properly, so if you follow any old links, or links in emails directly to threads / posts or other functions of the site, they will likely fail, sorry.

All should be back to normal in 24 - 48 hours after DNS sorts itself out....

In the meantime, any other problems, please let me know.... +++

Ah that would explain the servor error i just had when trying to get on the sight, well im sure it will be much better when its settled +++

Search seems to be behaving oddly when looking for new posts; sometimes it works others it gives a search parameters screen.
I'll see if it settles down.............. :cool:
(could be DNS playing tricks on me)

Embedded photos will be eratic too.....

Anyone desperate for stability can edit the host file on their desktop to the new IP and all should be well....

I'm also interested in feedback on speed and how responsive it feels....

Speed is excellent so far. +++

Big difference in speed now

In a faster direction I hope.... +++

DNS looks sorted for me - was an ip address immediately after the switch and now back to normal www address :)

Feels quicker, but I'm on my phone so not an exact science!

I still got IP address in address bar. Forum does fell faster, good to see attachment size increase as well.

Could do with rar extension for attachments so that anything that does not fit under other extensions can be compresses to rar and attached.
