Forum upgrade and support

[crowie]

Thank you Neil and Steve for all the behind the scenes hard work to make the thing run smoothly as possible....much appreciated.

When it all goes well, the admin must feel happy, when it goes pear shaped blame someone else, hmmm where else is that happening at present?

[Acco]

Any ideas on when this upgrade is happening, starting to avoid opening images and only having a quick look at new posts, as it is a hit and miss affair.

[Lappa]

Everything is working fine on my end. Posts and images open fine. Only real problem is the occasional double post trying to occurring.

[poundy]

yeah Lappa, agree, things have been stable here so @Acco I have no idea what you think is hit-and-miss?

[rwbuild]

No problem here either

[Acco]

Looks like it has come good for now, the other day I had to keep refreshing for pages to load and photos were taking minutes to open after clicking on thumbnail

[rwbuild]

What time of day and what day of the week?

[Acco]

All over the place, haven’t kept a record

[rwbuild]

School days 4:00 to 8:30, internet bogged down, weekend nights, social media=slow internet, just some of the things that can slow connections, also I have found on the forum that any threads that have a lot of hi res photos are painfully slow to load or time out if a lot of members are reading the same thread at the same time

Spoke to Steven yesterday and he said upgrade would be done this weekend sometime.

Don't know exactly when but this will be about the 8th try so..... Hopefully 9th time it will happens.

Tried to like post but ended up thanking for the picture

Looks like happening tomorrow (Sunday) starting from around 1:00pm.

Hi there

Will be doing some preparation over the next hour, you might notice some slowness and the odd timeout. The actual upgrade will start at about 6:30pm. I've got other commitments at 3 this afternoon so I need to split the job into two parts.

cheers
