FORUM DOWNTIME AND UPGRADE


Lexx

Recommended Posts

Ladies and Gents,

 

The forum is going to be unavailable over the weekend whilst we commence a serious upgrade to our systems.

 

Following the malicious attack a few weeks ago, we have worked hard behind the scenes to bring a more up to date, secure, faster, slicker forum.

PB's latest announcement regarding posting on 3rd party sites has forced us to tip our hand early to everyone, and to go live sooner than we hoped.

 

The club has purchased (at significant expense) a new dedicated root server with a significant sized drive. The upshot of this is we will now be hosting our own photo's (Though there will still be a sensible size limit to the pics you can upload - it will just be significantly larger than we have now).

 

We are also moving to https.

 

Much improved search function.

 

Much improved mobile experience.

 

As we are going live early with this, things are not quite 100% how they will look and we will be tweaking skins periodically over the coming weeks.

 

The Team ask for your patience both during the weekend downtime, and over the coming weeks whilst we get things set up.

 

I know not everyone likes change, myself included, but we could not continue in our current form. We hope you all find the new forum a good user friendly system.

 

See you all on the other side.

 

Lexx

on behalf of the entire Team.
