Site Access

[Paul]

Over the next week, or so, we will be moving the club on to a new, professionally run, server.

Hopefully there will be no issues, but if you find that you cannot access the site, then bear with us as it will only be temporary.

This initial period will see a mirror site being created that we mods & admins will use & abuse to prove the resilience of the new set up. Once we are all happy that it's working as it should be, then we'll "flick the switch" to enable to final transfer.

This last move will mean that the site will be offline for up to 24 hours. Probably less, but it depends on the networks.

We will try to give everyone as much notice as possible.

With the move there will also be some minor changes in software, which may improve the search facility.

To keep in touch with events we will use Twitter and Facebook to post updates. If you don't yet follow the club in either of these two methods then I strongly suggest that you do.

Thanks for reading,

Paul.

good news paul...i hope zozzers hard work wont be lost with the transfer ..

[Paul]

I think THAT is VERY safe, for reasons that will become obvious.

[Paul]

Dunno!

Morning!

what we are aiming for is reliability first and formost, then there maybe some incremental improvements.

Moving 50k posts is not a feat to be undertaken lightly - much of the prep work is going to be done next week, as far as the actual move goes, we will know more once we have a test bed running as Paul has already posted about.

So no. There will not be eye candy. There will be much more backroom stuff going on initially.

As they say "watch this space"
