The Forum is Moving at 6.30AM AEST on Sunday 19 May 2013
The forum will be completely unavailable from 6.30AM till 8.30AM on Sunday 19 May 2013. I will reinstate the name servers that point at our new host at 8.30AM and you MAY be able to access it from that point forward depending how/where your ISP resolves it's names from. There's some chance that some of you will be unable to access the forum for a period of up to 48 hours.
From 8.30AM you will know if you're seeing the old server because I'll put a different page up there telling you you're seeing the old server. If you can see the forum from 8.30AM on Sunday and you are able to log in then you are seeing the NEW forum. Your username and password will be the same on the new forum as they are here.
Please email me directly at mark@thepurplepenny.com if you have any concerns or cannot access the new forum server. Don't worry about annoying me, I have four kids under the age of 10 and noone can annoy me more than they already do :)
2 hours, ya killin me mate :mocking: well hope it's only 2 and not 48 :(
OK so another question is should we all be logged off by say no later than 6 am sunday morning..maily thinking about people like myself that sort of stay logged in all the time :)

You wont be able to access anything on the old server from 6:30AM on Sunday whether you are logged in or not.
All good, just didn't know if it made any difference to your change over if anyone was logged in :good:

Nope it makes no difference. If you are in the middle of doing something on the forum then you'll just get booted off.
Thanks for letting us know, saves the hassle of harassing you on Sunday for the site not working. Look forward to the new one.

I have one question which might be dumb but; can I use the bookmark I have set up now to access the new forum or will I have to google it and then login and set up a new bookmark?
The bookmark will still work.
thanks mate
Looks like the move has been successful. What you're seeing now is the forum in it's new LA Mansion with only a couple of changes discussed earlier. (The addition of gallery and a public threads section).
Sorry I missed the whole move. Hope I don't get lost in the new changes.
