View Full Version : Forum Offline time
The forum will go offline in the not too distant future while we change servers and update the forum to the latest software available.
I will try and make the downtime as little time as possible but it may take a couple of days to transfer.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Lee
thanks for that lee, but what am i going to do with me fingers for two days....:tumbleweed:
You'll have to visit that other specialist site you mentioned the other day?
I need to know when this is happening, so I can go out and buy some magazines :blush:

I think it was his first time then we have faith that he won't lose anything anyway he did say if any post lost he would give us all a £1000 pounds and a signed naked photo of martin
No, not like that!
This one is a controlled take down, install new software & then - hopefully - voila! :8):

but which is better, £1000 or a signed naked photo of Martin?
We need a poll.
There isn't that amount in the kitty, but I bet that we could find a few of Martin's signed pictures lying around the server room :rofl:

The first year we got one of Paul in a hot tub
now that is true
No, not quite true, it's a swimming pool :poke:
Ok Guys will go down from 8pm tomorrow night for approx 48 hours whilst the nameservers change and the new forum is installed and permissions checked before i put it live again.
Hopefully SMAXOC will benefit from the change and 2010 will be the best year yet.

Also do we see a return off the garage which we had on smaxweb 1

maybe i'll start a poll to see if people want to answer your poll?!!! :laugh: :laugh:
The homepage will be more website based than forum based, so more proffessional.
The main upgrade is behind the scenes, security upgrades etc. As for the garage there will not be a release for it yet but hopefully it will come soon.
Oh ####!
Tomorrow's the 11th, so 48 hours afterwards is the 13th.
Last server failure was also the 13th, though a Friday :surprised:

What's 'the garage'?
Kind of as the name suggests it's an area where you upload pictures of your own car, plus details of modifications etc, and other members can 'visit' your garage.
This was a feature of the PHPBB software that we used until 'The Great Server Crash of 2008'. We then swapped to vBulletin3.x and now we're swapping to vBulletin 4.x
I was going to mention that I was not going to mention "viagra" on version 3 then scrolled up and a naked picture of Martin was mentioned......
:blink:
I did like the old "Featured Member" section.
...... and I'll get my coat.......
PS If it all goes Pete Tong it's been a great ride guys.........

the nameserver transfer is taking a little longer than we thoguht. whilst it transfers the forum stays online.
