Server Downtime

Post by Dominic »

You may remember the recent downtime. The techies at the server farm have identified the underlying problem, and will be moving all our sites onto new hardware tonight.

Consequently, the forum will be going down soon, but will be up again tomorrow morning.

This is now the new server.

We will have lost a few posts from this morning, but that cannot be helped.

You may find some things take a bit longer to load. That is temporary. Web data gets cached and a new server has a clear cache.

Yes that would have been when I was updating the forum software.

For some reason DNS propagation to a long time, but only for some of you. So we had HiC posting on the new forum while Lincoln was on the old one, and there was absolutely nothing that could be done about it.
