Switch to New Server Monday 5th May 11:00 to 13:00

Many thanks to Lennart and Tom (and Lennarts colleagues at Uni-C) - it certainly was quite painless.

Early days yet, but the system is running like greased lightning.

I notice we've also gained a spell-checker!!

I think you'll find the spell checker doesn't work.    Well need to turn that off.  Sorry.

I dint never want no spill chokker any roads 

wow this is quick thanks to all involved (privy to the dark arts of compooting!)

 A lot of boxes in here though with pretty little red crosses in 'em, should there be something I'm missing?

It looks a bit different but still feels like home

......everything looks so much clearer, like a spring morning, any ideas why?

You didn't have as much to drink last night Peter

That's most likely because you're still using the old "converted/classic" theme is you switch to the boaerd default with CAmod  It will all be fixed.

Jeez, this site loads faster than I can click the mouse. How does that work? 

Excellent work chaps, makes it all look a top site - which of course it is.

Only 5 and a bit weeks to go to the big weekend of the year     

[Lord Pig-Pen]

Super quick for me out here in the sticks!

5 weeks today and I should be on HA.

[smokie]

Not bad, not at all bad...

Well done team!!

Also to everyone who helped fund or organise it, in whatever capacity 

[mgmark]

Excellent work and a great result!  Well done - painless (at least to the users) - particualrly to Tom and Lennart for casting the necessary spells and rune dice

Mostly Lennart on the magic spell side of things.   Most of the time I was breaking things.   Not on purpose you understand. 

I'm monitoring hte load on the server from time to time and I've not seen it more than 4-5% busy. 
It has over 150 web server procsesses running the old server had to be limited to 5. 

So it's no wonder it quick.

/Lennart dusts off his magic hat


it really went quite painless.

The spell checker feature was something I turned on while upgrading to the new SMF 1.1.5 version which was just out as I started building the new server. I didn't notice it wasn't working - but it certainly seems a bit dead

My Firefox has a builtin spell checker which is probably a better option. Not sure if IE users have the same option, but it would be a reasonable guess.

Great result guys. I've been away for a few days so i missed all the action with the change over but i certainly makes a great difference while im trying to catch up with everything.

Great stuff guys.  I just did a test run with the search facility and wow, it was quick.  Vast improvement and well worth the effort.

No Internet Exploder doesn't have that feature.  Not sure about IE 7 though.
