Re: Scheduled Maintenance Warning

Post by Justin »

As you may have noticed, we've been having a few problems with our current
hosting company and the forum has been offline without notice at times :-(

In an effort to eliminate this problem I've purchased another hosting
package with a different company. I have to divert the existing forum
across and plan to do this later tonight, probably at midnight.
I'm hoping that this will only take a few hours but I have to give the
standard 72 hour warning.

As soon as we're back online I'll send another mail.

Appreciate your patience with this and I'm sure you will agree it's worth a
little pain to get us to a better place!

Speak to you all soon,
Justin

Maintenance has finished for this session, thank you for your patience ;)

Not quite as succesfull as I'd hoped, need to iron out a few kinks but I'll get this sorted asap.

If we need to go down again I'll email you all in advance.

Cheers for now,
Justin

;) Ironing of the kinks continues. I will be transferring (again) to our new host tonight at some stage. We may/may not get a short period where the board is down. It's unlikely but please be patient if you have any problems.

I'll aim to do the work as late as possible :shock:

Many thanks,
Justin

OK, I think we're all done at last!

We're now live with the new host company, this means the forum should be running quickly and efficiently with minimal downtime.

I had to sacrifice a few posts made in the last hour of the work being carried out, I think I know what they were and have PM'd affected members, if I've missed one please accept my apologies.

As always, please let me have your feedback and if you find any problems just give me a shout.

Thanks again for your patience, here's to an even brighter and better future on the DSF ;)
