With a new server in place & nearly set up it will soon be time to move the forum files over.

This will inevitably mean freezing the forums for however long it takes - just did a quick check - 600MB & 139,000 files on the forums & that doesn't include the images ... it may take some time & I may have to drop old images again - so old avatars may be exterminated!

The rest of the site SHOULD transfer seamlessly - in other words the main site users will not even know anything has happened .. - if I've got things right .... but the forums will have to be put on hold during their transfer - I can't see any other way. Because they are live & in constant use any input during work causes major troubles.

Think Global. It's the world we live in.

The price of progress .. go for it Pete !

I hope Fozzer takes his own advice and "backs-up." It wouldn't be the same without that 20 year old photo of him and his bike - lolq (quietly.)

For a change over time I suggest the weekend of the 26th and 27th as I will be unable to go online for those two days anyway and so I won't notice, or be inconvenienced by the switch! Grin
