Forum slow / no response - SORTED

Post by **CasKru** » Tue Jan 22, 2013 12:43 pm

We are aware of the slow / no response from the forum. The problem seems to be server side and our service provider is currently looking into the matter.

Thank you for your patience

This is an early warning to all forum addicts

Within the next two weeks we will be moving the forum to a new, faster and hopefully more reliable server.

We will first migrate all files and test on the new server, once everything is fine we will switch over to the new server. This might cause the site to be off for half a day or maybe a day.

I warn you before the time so that you can look for other ways to keep yourself busy during the migration time. I know it is hard to think of anything else to do, but google is your friend.

Please don't let your wife know the forum will be down because they have the tendency to think of all kinds of jobs in and around the house to do.

I will warn everybody closer to the time and if possible we will try and schedule the switch over to a weekend.

its a hilux thing

But yet a Hilux and its forum is so attractive that it even attracts Jeep drivers.

I would like to remind you all that the web site will be offline tonight (27 Jan) from 22h00.
We will be migrating to a new server
If all goes well you will have your forum back by Monday morning.

Post by **pietpetoors** » Sun Jan 27, 2013 10:14 pm

Sorry I had the wrong time, you have 2 more hours to browse. The migration will start 10PM UK time, which is 00h00 our time and I am definitely not going to stay up to see if everything is working, I will rather get up early tomorrow morning.

Yup, I am awake as usual, but it will be an excuse for an 'early' night!

All seems well

Post by **pietpetoors** » Mon Jan 28, 2013 7:35 am

There were some glitches early this morning, but now it seems fine. To me it seems a bit faster

Definitely faster. Not so much the loading speed (although I think it is a bit faster), but the response is way better .... doesn't sit there and hang for a few seconds before it starts loading the next page. Cool!

Sun Chaser · Post by **Sun Chaser** » Mon Jan 28, 2013 9:15 am

Seems better, even over here in the Arabain Gulf, need my daily forum fix.
Good job guys.

Post by **Mud Dog** » Mon Jan 28, 2013 9:37 am

Seems to be a small glitch on the PM side.

Please elaborate

Post by **pietpetoors** » Mon Jan 28, 2013 10:45 am

I have sent and received numerous PM's this morning and had only one problem. Andy can you please tell us what problem you have?

One PM I sent, the recipient received the notification but PM was not in his inbox, but I think that was during the migration, this I posted the PM on one server and he had to read it on the new server, lost between the two

Besides that I have not seen any problems

GI Jane · Post by **GI Jane** » Mon Jan 28, 2013 10:49 am

Mmmm... thought I had been banned from the forum had to type in that little authentication code... sneaky.. I hate those things, often they are impossible to identify... or maybe I'm not human...

Post by **pietpetoors** » Mon Jan 28, 2013 11:26 am

I also hate those code things. Dont know why they cannot just rather use a simple question and answer scenario, like "what is the best 4x4?"

Then they would be denied access. It would be one way to force Shawn Jeepie to admit that Hilux is the best!

The PM issue I had seems to be resolved.

Cos Robots are programmed to say Hilux as a DEFAULT.

It seems the whole migration is now complete and the DNS updated.
