Site transfer imminent!

A general talking shop for any subject under the sun (even Monty Python). This would also be a good place to make suggestions about the site itself or about these forums (or "fora", if you're particularly pedantic).

Site transfer imminent!

Postby Emrys » Fri Dec 05, 2014 9:16 pm

We'll be kicking off the transfer of the GnATTERbox to the new hosting this weekend (6th/7th December).

So that no posts are lost in the process, I'll be switching off the current forum around 9pm GMT tomorrow evening (6th).

You'll know when the transfer's gone through because the updated forum software looks slightly different to the current style (but not worryingly so).

Don't panic - everything's going to plan.

Emrys,

Many thanks for creating the Gnatterbox and allowing us so much fun over the years.

I suspect I'll hear a big sigh of relief from Norfolk as the transfer occurs.

And Tom, thank goodness you have the skills and will to keep us going into the future. A big thank you to you too.

cheers,

A big thankyou from me too Emrys. Although my modelling Mojo is currently in the doldrums - I'm still a daily visitor!

Thanks also to Tom for taking on the task.

Just to let you know it will probably be Sunday morning at least before service is resumed - it took over 4 hours to run the conversion program to change the site to the new software on my test and I have to download the current database and upload it to the new server before I even start this.

Other technical things ( DNS caching) may mean some people may not see the new site at first so be patient - indeed it may take a day or so for this to catch up with the changes we make.

When the forum come back up there will be a few things missing at first - I've been ill and and badly behind on my own work, so not been able to do everything I hoped first - some of the extras we have on this forum are not supported on the new version of the software.

So will put it up with a few warts and all, then at least it is safe and out of Emrys's hair. Will try to get the other bits sorted and the rest of the main site back working over the next few weeks, but can do that at my leisure.

See you all on the other side......

Well it should be back as soon as the new address propagates out everywhere

Let me know what problems you find !

Dear Emrys and Tom,

Firstly a great big thank you to you both which echoes what others have already said. There is no need to say more other than I felt as if I had lost my right arm until the site was back up and running.

Emrys, thank you for starting the site and keeping it running - part of what keeps me active in the hobby is the amount of creativity and interest shown on this site and the friendly help and banter that goes with it.

Tom, thank you for taking over from Emrys and keeping the site going.

Well done to both of you.
Kind regards,
Mark
