If this happens to your forum you will for a while see "trillian" or "trillian3" in the forum address. This will go away in time. I'd like to apologise in advance for anticipated service disruption. The server you are being moved to is new and still needs some tuning for optimal performance. This will almost certainly mean a little downtime now and again. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

We have had and fixed the first issue. Gallery functions were blocked by the firewall causing assorted problems. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

350 forums transferred, but not a great number of very active ones yet. The virtual machine they are going to is configured to be somewhat less powerful than Zaphod, the server they are on. But overall the server can hold several such machines, the challenge will be in seeing how to split the resources to get the maximum out of things. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

"If this is part of an upgrade then make sure the owner finalises it in the control panel and selects to redirect to this version of the forum, then once again the link will return to being the old one within 48 hours or so. NEVER BOOKMARK OR PUBLISH THIS LINK IT WILL NOT ALWAYS WORK." Do I have to do anything I have looked in the control panel but can't see anywhere to select the re-direct

Hi Admin. Please excuse my lack of expertise in anything techy. I notice in your intro you say that only some forums are being migrated to the new server. I'm having a few questions from our members asking if we will be one of the forums moved. ( http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org) The last thing I want to do is start an avalanche of similar questions when you're busy with the change over, so if this query seems a bit out of order I'll understand.
