Back up and running

[Admin]

Looks like the move to the new server was successful.

Please report any issue here or to a moderator/admin.

I will make the old board available for viewing only just so you can compare if there are any differences. There shouldn't be.
I will post the URL later.

[Admin]

The old board is at the following for a time.

http://www.segwaybrazil.com/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi

It is there in case you want to make a comparison and to see if any posts or PMs are missing.
I doubt that though. It appears the board transferred without a hitch and the stats are exactly the same.

BTW, you can log in on that server too, but you cannot post there, but you should be able to check your old PMs and still read all the posts.

I will keep the old server going for a bit as I will use it as a test bed for a new forum using the old database and if successful, will replicate the new changes here.

Hi t8

I think it was a wise move to go to another server. The server seems a lot faster.

The pages open up very fast compared to before. I am in the United States and for instance the trinity 1 thread with over 1000 pages opens immediatly. Before it used to take 15-30 seconds.

Also I do not see any changes at all in the post or anything.

Good job, and thanks once again for having this forum and for all your hard work and dedication!

Thank you!

Blessings WJ

Cheers WJ.

Thanks for the feedback.

I have been wanting to move for a while as I felt the last host was incompetent in some ways. I was hesitant however as it can be difficult moving a database and scripts to a new server which is an alien environment for the configuration. However, it was much easier than I anticipated.

I also did quite a bit of research on web hosts and one stood out as the best among its peers and the site is hosted there now.

It is the same face as thethinker when he was a young man.  

btw, the avatar is the Kangaroo Jack character. My name is Jack and the yellow halo signifies thinking.

Glasses are suppose to make you look intelligent. Not sure it works in this case though.

Hmmm.

There might be an issue posting a PM.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

[kejonn]

I just tried responding on another thread and got a server error.

[kejonn]

It still posted though

[Proclaimer]

Yeah, same here but when I switched my browser, it worked fine. I think it is a caching issue.
Try a browser that you don't normally use for Heaven Net or empty cache and restart the browser.

I use Chrome as my default, but it was showing the old pages sometimes leading to a server error.
Since changing to Firefox, I haven't had any probs.

So if it is caching then it will go away in time.

Oh well, then consider my new avatar a statement by irony. Kangaroos are my most favorite creature on earth and when seeking a new avatar I could not resist Kangaroo Jack. My daughter wants to go to Australia and I asked her to bring me home a Roo of my own.

btw, I tried many times over the past few months to paste a custom avatar but could not. Then after you changed servers I was able to post the custom avatar on my first try. Is this just a coincidence? Or is Kangaroo Jack too cool not to be pasted?

Should work the same, so long as the path to the icon is full, i.e., http://…..

Here are some pics of Australia.

Hmmm. Kangaroos being the favourite creature? What about this Koala?

Praise God! What a blessing, perhaps you could make the site with optional paid yearly membership which would help you with some of the bandwidth problems
It doesn't have to be imposed on anyone but it could be made into a support option. It doesn't even need to be that much maybe between $9-$12 U.S. that way a relativelysmall amount of supporters can help defray any cost and or expand or maintain services.

t8,

Thanks for the pics of Australia. There is more to it than just its outback country.

Thanks T8,
We appreciate all your efforts, I really missed the site these last couple of days.

Well actually those do not look like reading glasses though!
