Hi, folks!

Phew, it took me all day just to setup the whole forum and we now finally have a new host for the forum and lets hope the new host server is more reliable and have better service than the last one! The forum even loads faster here on the new server. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you all for the patience and the great support!

Have a great day!

Thanks, Pete! I'm starting to feel better now. The sweating and shaking are subsiding. 8)

it has been moving faster good job pete :clap:

Yeah, I'm with SC, the withdrawl was a pain and I'm glad I can get my fix. Thanks much for all the work you put in on the forum!

Hey Paphraguy some specs on that server would be appreciated !!

Is it very difficult to setup a forum like this ??
I have some HTML ASP JAVA experiance but never worked with PHP before.

Anyway GREAT JOB. I Love the forum and the nice ppl.

Thanks for putting in all that work Pete. :clap2:

Great, glad to see you got a new host :Party: ...btw I mailed VizaWeb Inc asking what their guarenteed uptime is after the last outage and they replied saying We have a 99.97% uptime guarantee...If you sign-up now, you will be installed on unix18 which has been a very reliable server for us. :lol:

Hi, Gideon!

That is just plain crock! Before we even signed up with them, that was exactly what they told me, HA! We signed up with them back in July and we have had nothing but all kinds of problems with slow reloading and freqeunt down times and it just got worse ever since! I'm so glad that we don't have to deal with them ever again and I even doubt that they will refund us the unused 10 months, it would be nice if they do but I highly doubt it.

Wow that was quicker than I expected! Thanks Pete, and as soon as I am able I will donate to the maintanence fund. Just sent a small donation to a needy place.

YAY! :whoo:

I really had nothing to do at lunch today without this forum! Glad it's back up and running! I sent a little donation your way to help out.

Thanks a bunch! Without the great support of our members, this forum would be nothing. Take care!

Hi, Jake!

Thanks! The new host is Bluehost and they cost a little more but they are listed in the top 10 host servers and have great reviews, so we shall see how good they are! Before I started the forum back in March 05, I had no experience with PHP but somehow I taught myself PHP and a little bit of html. I still find it a little difficult AND scary at times especially during updates and regular maintenance but I feel much more confident now than when I started 6 months ago.

(Ugh - it's not faster on dial-up, that's for sure! I'm not on my computer at the moment.)
Pete, thanks for choosing a day I was stuck in a car to do this - the withdrawls weren't so bad. :wink: AND I got to play with a new toy when it came back up!
Looks great, well, the same actually!

Glad everything went so smoothly and hopefully that is the end of us having to post forum down time messages. :roll:

Has anyone had any issues? I heard from Stephan that he still can't get on?
Anyway...just thought I'd mention it.

I don't know why he can't log in but it is a whole different server, so hopefully he can soon log in and joins us! Other members from Australia had no problem logging in. If you are reading this Stephen, try and clear out your browser cookies and see if that helps! Good luck!

Thanks for bringing the forum back online

Excellent!!! I'm on - Musta taken a while to replicate to Australia (or my organisations ARP ) tables.

Great stuff Peter!! - Now to catch up.

Cheers
Stephan

Much faster :Party: .
Good work.

Ahhh--this is working nicely for me.Thanks Pete for all your work.Thank you Heather as well as whenever I have a problem you are very prompt at answering an old fart with patience.:)

Keep up the good work, Peter! :clap: Oh, and you,too, Heather. :poke: you both do a wonderful job keeping this forum going.
