New server - REPORT PROBLEMS HERE

[ubeaut]

We have just finished the shift of all files to our new server.

Over the next few days there may be a glitch or two which could need fixing. A few files went AWOL during the move but we think most have been recovered.

If you happen to notice any thing strange, slowness, missing files, or anything out of the ordinary, please let us know by posting in this thread. We will keep a close eye on it and endeavour to fix all fixable problems ASAP.

Any and all assistance no matter how small will help to make it better for everyone.

Cheers - Neil

We should expect some slowness over the next few hours, most members are still connecting to the old server which is communicating to the database on the new server. Its a fraction slower than previously, but still seems very usable.

I just posted something regarding a sauna, when I went to submit, the submit box was blank. The submit box is blank on this one as well. I took a stab at the left box being the one to click for submit, I guessed correctly. Mick.

Hi there

Can you please post (or PM me) a screen shot? We're not seeing the same error here, so a screeny would be a huge help.

thanks

Screen shot, if I can do it that is. I have managed to save a screen shot, put it into MS word, but don't know how to save the graphic to insert here. Perhaps email the word document directly? Mick.

Steven, it's working correctly this morning.

I tried a screen refresh last night at the suggestion of the missus, to no avail.

Quick brief rundown.

For Windows user: Click on PRTSC (PRT SC) button > Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint > Paste or CTRL V > Save to > Your file name (For size and basic ease it ip probably best to save the file as either a .gif or .jpg) > Once saved you can use it as an attachment, email it or generally do whatever you would do with any graphic.

When in paint you can crop the screen capture to show only the section you want shown, resize and a whole lot more. If you haven't used paint before play with it and have some fun. If you muck it up, click on New do CTRL V thing again and dadah it will be there again so long as you haven't copied anything else.

For Mac users: Sorry - No idea, but there will be something very similar.

Cheers

G'day Neil, one thing I've noticed is that I'm now limited to 5 PMs from 40 (I think).

It's no big deal as I don't use them much here, just letting you know.

[Bedford]

Bugger me! I think it just moderated me.

Try the Shift-F5 or CTRL-F5 screen refresh to get the data refreshed from the server - it worked for me.

Ctrl-F5 works for me!!

What a difference. I find no problem so far and it's lightning fast unlike the other mopie one. Well done folks.

Hi Neil, Pauline,
I'm encountering no problems here.

Really fast - excellent

- I may have missed something but is there a reason for the variety of colours for the names of members.

Regards,
Bob

We have been under massive spam attack for over 3 weeks not well over 18,000 spammers detected and deleted in that period, this includes 6,000 in one hit who were sleepers waiting to pounce.

Having the different colours or at least more easily discernible colours helps us at a glance to see the rank of someone posting. and keep a bit more of a handle on what's going on. People are now promoted when they reach the quota of posts. All with less than 10 are moderated and severely limited with what they can do. 11 - 21 is much the same as registered was before, full members have more privileged like signatures, bigger mail box, etc.

Haven't posted all the info as we don't want to tip our hand to the blight of forums and blogs the world over...... Spammers.

This is one of the ways to keep these forums free of , and a lot of unsavory and unwanted garbage, unfortunately it's also a hell of a lot of extra work for moderators and admins.

Cheers - Neil
