Eric Aitala Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 Hi Folks, The Forums, as well as the Review, Voting, and Gallery, will be offline this weekend. We've managed to outgrow our current web server, so we are migrating to something more powerful. I will be putting the various site into maintenance mode today (May 20) so the sysadmisn can make the move. I will also need to update the DNS settings - this translates the URL 'ipmsusa3.org' into the server address. This change may take several days to propagate across the internet. I think we should be fully back up on Monday. Sorry for the short notice, but its tricky trying to coordinate this with the web hosting company. Thanks, Eric
Eric Aitala Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Posted May 20, 2011 Note, I will be leaving the Forums up until sometime late tonight... right now the Gallery, Reviews, and Voting sites are all offline. Eric
Mark Aldrich Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 Oh sure........Tomorrow is Armed Forces Day......lots of Military wheeled and tracked vehicle pictures to upload and you go and take the galleries offline! If this was an AIRSHOW weekend, I know the galleries would still be up. I know this is an Anti-TreadHead plot!!!!!! Eric, keep up the great work with all that you do to make us a better and more enjoyable place!!! :smiley20:
Eric Aitala Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Posted May 20, 2011 Yah, the timing is not great - I've still not got a confirmation that they company will do the migration tomorrow, but I am gonna proceed along those lines. E
Mark Aldrich Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 Eric, Ya gotta work with what they give you! Give me something to do during lunch next week!
Mark Deliduka Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 Eric, thanks for the heads up. Also, I want to add my thanks for all you do as well. Guess I'll be doing alot of building this weekend since I'll have no Forums to visit!
Eric Aitala Posted May 22, 2011 Author Report Posted May 22, 2011 We seem to be back up at the moment. Eric
Mark Aldrich Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Thanks again for keeping us all posted. Another good reason for members to get hooked up on face book and join! We knew when we were down and up again!!! Thanks again for all the hard work you do!!! Edited May 23, 2011 by Mark Aldrich
Eric Aitala Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Posted May 25, 2011 We're having an issue sending mail from the new server - so folks may not be getting email notices about private messages or replies to topics on the Forums. I'm working on fixing it.. Eric
Mark Aldrich Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Eric, Don't sweat it....we don't need no stinking PMs...
