    Looks like someone did a full service greased the wheel bearings, changed the oil, removed the nut behind the wheel

    Problem appears to be still ongoing at the other end and may see the forums migrated to another Hypervisor (HV) or zone on the network if a satisfactory resolution cannot be found.

    At least we are running at a much better clip right now, getting close to optimum speed but not there yet.

    So far so good today.

    Looks to be fixed but haven't heard if this it temporary of not as yet.

    Site is pinging well and seems to be humming along at a fair old rate of knots.

    Thanks for bearing with it.

    Forums are currently being backed up in preparation of a moved to a stable and hopefully faster section of the server.

    This will probably cause heaps of problems throughout the day and possibly into the night and maybe even into tomorrow.

    It will also mean an IP change so there will need to be a lot of backroom work done tonight and tomorrow to bring everything back online properly.

    Again I ask all to bear with us whilst this is done. Most of it is out of our control at least initially so we are in the lap of the server Gods for the moment.

    Cheers - Neil

    PS Guess I trotted this one out a just a little bit too early.

    They are still backing up and it looks like our whole server is now to be migrated to a new location on the network under a different Hypervisor, rather than just the forums.

    I will try to keep everyone advised as to progress in the Announcement at the top of each page.

    All things being equal we should be running at almost blistering speeds once all this is sorted out.

    We may be off the air for some time or it might just happen without a single problem but knowing my luck..... Hang on for a bumpy ride.

    Cheers - Neil

    Sorry... But just look how shiny and big and red it is. It's just begging to be pressed isn't it.



    Please, please, please don't be foolish and do what I did.
    Don't touch the big red button!
    There could be dire consequences if you do.

    Looking good at the moment Neil, let's hope the hypervisor doesn't hyperventilate and pass out.

    Thank you for keeping us up to date.

    Please give us a shiny Green button to hit so the forum keeps up to speed.

    Sorry folks but it ain't fixed yet. The worst is still to come.

    Today's slowness was only the backup of the server. It will probably all come to a screaming halt later on if and when they migrate the server to the new section.

    Still a lot of work to be done by Steven in the back room after that happens.

    FORUM & SERVER TRANSFER SHOULD BEGIN SHORTLY!
    We could go off line at any time now and may be off line for a number of hours even overnight.

    When we come back all should be lightening fast.

    We will have a new IP address and it may take a few days for some members DNS to get updated by their service provider.


    More when I know more.
