Not at all. The move is a mild glitch for a forum, here we are on the support forum which itself has just been moved! _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

Forum : http://rulesofpoker.trillian.myfastforum.org/index.php Hi There I've just been moved to the new forum address (see above). As i understand from reading the start of this thread, the official trillion URL will only appear for a short time. I am also missing images that have been uploaded in the backstage admin (eg. rank images) although gallery pics uploaded by members are showing. Is this a problem or something i should just wait to be fixed ? Thanks h _________________ Poker forum and info : http://www.alternate-poker.com http://www.alternate-poker-forum.com http://www.rules-of-poker.com

Nothing should be missing Can you be precise about what ranks you are missing? _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

yep, i reckon you're right. mine have just appeared again so it must have been a glitch with images loaded in the backstage admin i think.

Just to back up on this.

My pictures and ranks are showing ok now but i appear to have lost some of the recent updates i've made to webpages created through the forum.

For example : http://alternate-poker-forum.com/newsletter.html

Currently it is showing the newsletter dated back at October 14th. I have actually updated this twice since then (latest update was for the 28th) so it seems some kind of roll back has taken effect. The same thing has happened with my calendar.

I'm not going to make any changes in case this rectifies itself today but ii thought it was worth mentioning.

I think the problem is that the new server had a snapshot of the webpages which should have been deleted. The transfer of the forum hence lacked the permissions to overwrite with the latest files I have grabbed the latest and put them in. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

The transfer process is getting to the stage now where at least a little bit of performance data can be gleaned. The transferred forums are working at a very good (IMHO) performance level, and about 60% of the load has been transferred, now the good news there is that the transferred forums are restricted to using less that 25% of the power of the server, implying we can fit 2.4x what was on Zaphod (and things were running well on Zaphod) before there should be any issues. Though of course that means setting up more virtual machines. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

As the message says it should be 48 hours. But you may need to reboot. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

Just 9 forums to go now, though shifting forums is only one leg of the journey. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

All the forums are now transferred. It strikes me that performance remains very good. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums
