Chisoxfn Posted August 2 Author Share Posted August 2 It will likely be in 1-2 weeks. Waiting for the latest version of the forum software (vs. the beta version). The look and feel won't be a big change - the big change of the forum software is set to come later this year - but have some stuff that needs to clean-up in advance of that and get onto a more efficient base and some underlying caapbilities that will help with server load/efficiency. I also am working on when we get to that version getting back to a much more simplified ad structure. The ad solution we use kind of takes off and gets out of control (this is NOT something I want to have that much of). So you should see a better experience there. And again - this site makes no money - but the traffic and volumes we get are large so while I appreciate the offer and generosity from others - the reality is - to be on a dedicated server has a material cost so ads are needed to cover it and ensure we can cover the costs. From the day this place started - never have I wanted to ever take anyone's dime or charge anyone to be on this site...but I also recognize the ad structure needs to be less invasive. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 This weekend is the expected outage. Hopefully it isn't too long / too bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted August 13 Author Share Posted August 13 FYI - Upgrade ran into issues (no site outages - just some stuff on back end before we could get launched). It will likely be this weekend. We will also be migrating to a new, faster and more efficient server at the same time. For the record - I could take an approach and shut down and do some conversions to minimize lost posts (but with a bit more outage) - but will probably opt to just migrate over and instead of shutting this site down for a period post migration to make sure I basically reback up the database - will instead just live with 1-2 days of lost posts in order to maximize up time for the site (this should mean, *knock on wood*, minimal site downtime, but at some point when we switch over we'll lose about 1-2 days worth of posts in between the server migration. Note: The data base is large so I could restore it all - but that would require site down 4-12 hours for migration + than another 4-8 hours for the upgrade.

southsider2k5 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Looks like the upgrade has finished. Welcome to the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted August 19 Author Share Posted August 19 There are a couple issues still being ironed out. For example - running into an issue starting new topics (at the moment). So still a bit of WIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
