Stick a Fork in Me…

I’m Done.

Everything (except avatars/userpics) seems to be working. I’ll chase up the picture stuff a little later.  (it’s 5:30am here and I have to be at work at 9:30am)

I’ve changed the DNS to point at the new server. If you have a way of purging and refreshing your DNS cache. I suggest you do that but the TTL on the old IP address was only an hour so hopefully in a couple of hours it should have propogated around the net to  just about everyone.

You’ll know you’re on the new server when you see the site instead of the maintenance message.

It’s entirely likely that something on the forums will be broken. I’ve started a thread in the Feedback section for people to report any bugs or non-working bits they encounter. Use that if you’re aware of anything else that needs fixing, even if it’s been around a while.  I’ll update the post at the top from time to time with the problems I’m aware of.

There will be more changes coming in the next couple of weeks (or even days) but they won’t require any major downtime (most won’t require any at all).

Please be patient over the new few days while I iron out all the kinks in the new server. Constantly complaining and nagging about things being broken doesn’t get it fixed any faster. Trust me at the moment all my spare time is going into this. Sadly spare time isn’t in copious supply at the moment.

Anyway, I’m off to bed. Enjoy the new lag-free server.

Dan.
