I've had some time this morning to spin up a new server for the forum to move to. I've took a snapshot of the forum this morning and put this up on the new server. Right now I need your help to go and log on over there, make sure you can log on, you can post threads, reply to them, and upload image attachments (and anything else you can think of).
It is important to realise that ANY CONTENT YOU ADD THERE WILL BE LOST WHEN THE NEW SERVER GOES LIVE. Keep using this forum for your normal forumnal activities.
It is also important to realise that a lot of the links on the test forum will bring you back to this forum so make note of the address in your browser address bar before you post anything.
Here's the location of the forum on the new server:
http://173.255.242.26
You'll be able to login with your normal forum username and password. Please post any problems with the new forum here.

"Absolutionary Idea.!!!
Did some searches, found some members, checked my PMs, looked at various posts etc. All seemed OK except I noticed a surplus special character in one of my posts -but that is probably my inexpert typing.
Now to try a post.

So far, so good.
Need someone to test the Attachments Feature.
Seems like all functions of Edit Quote and insert function as normal.
Just testing.
Added this pic on the other site and only got a link, not the pic.

Seems to work OK here.
tested email and message for ya pp
do I need to put the new one in my favorites list?
and when do you plan on changing over?
Do not bookmark the address. I think I might roll over next Sunday night. Right now I'm adding a forum gallery and perhaps one other feature. There's going to be a period of time when some of you will not be able to access the forum while I roll over the DNS servers. This is likely to last 24 hours at most.
Tested OK to me.
Had no problem logging in, no problem looking up posts so all seems to be fine.
Let us know when you are set to go.
:yahoo:
All good here...:wavemulticolor::wavemulticolor::wavemulticolor:
When you do eventually move. What will change for , if any, for the everyday user like me.
Will I have to change something to get into the forum or will I continue as I do now?
I am not fully computer geek so I need to be eduficated.......
Most people will not notice any difference at all. You won't have to do anything except log back in.
For those interested we're moving from a data center in denver to one in los angeles.
