Ok, we went through the one server switch without much problem... just lost a few uploaded photos... Our mistake on that one!
So we cleaned off that server and swapped it over to Unix, and tonight at about 11:00 pm central time, we should be switching over to that one.
It will require locking the server for about 10 minutes, then since the two servers are side by side - we can do a quick transfer of data. Then we have to point to the new server and Bingo! Back up faster and better!
The new server will have an IP address change on the net (for those of you who aren't net guru's that's the string of numbers like 162.45.2.89 - and then that gets changed to whatever.com)
So what that means to you, is depending on who your internet service provider is, it may take them 2 minutes, or 6 hours to update their records that our forum is now over at the new IP address. We will try to leave you a link incase you get lost...
To speed up the system, you will want to delete your cookies and your cache so your browser can find the forum once your internet provider has updated their records.
And simply closing your browser, and starting over in the morning will probably take care of it for 99% of the folks out there.
Sorry for any trouble this might cause, and we're asking you as soon as you can, use all the forum features you can think of, and let us know if anything is wrong by posting up in the Bugs and Problems area.
