Just a quick announcement. Somewhere this weekend i'll be performing a server upgrade, which is migrating the website to a more powerful machine. while the process happens, the website will be taken offline so that data can be mirrored from the old server to the new one.
just to give you a small heads up
Server Upgrade
Moderators: Greg, Mark, mhrAJ333, JD
Any idea how long the site will be down when you do it? Are you looking at later tonight for a time? I'm doing some forum upgrades now, so maybe e-mail me quick just before we go offline.

You can't fail if you don't try!
Last night I was up til 4am, so holler when you get ready to start and I'll get out of the way.
Say, do we have the php gd extension installed? Doing a mod that asks for that. I can't remember how to find the list of php extensions that are installed.

another scheduled downtime will be occuring tonight at around midnight to 1 am my time. i do not expect the downtime to be much longer than one hour or something close to that, just to let you guys know
Next time you want to know if something is installed on your server, create a file called phpinfo.php in wordpad.Mark wrote:

Insert this text
Code: Select all
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Thanks for the heads up...
Hey while you guys are upgrading is there any fix in the works for the new friends pending/MPS link?
On a side note, whatever you have done in the registration area has reduced the spam, nothing for almost a week....

since yesterday didn't happen due to a quick hospital lift, tonight i am going to finalize server transfer, so at around 10, 10:20 pm my time i;ll hit the switch off again, sorry for all them scheduled-but-never-happening ones :S
Hey Steve,
Hope everything is alright!
Just wanted to add that I got an email about the site running slowly, has anyone else mentioned this problem? I forwarded the email to Mark.
I thought it might be my PC as the kid has been using it, but I to have had problems with the site being really slow???

this is correct, as the server was packing files and exporting to the new one, it's not totally done thou. so tomorrow will be another one to finalize it. i have to stop that once in a whil so that in the day there is no downtime for the sites.
so tomorrow will - hopefully - be the final reset of that thing.
