Downtime 2/19/05

[MB43]

Sorry for the extended downtime today, the server move and DNS propagation took longer than expected.

You may now return to your regularly scheduled Forums.

:thumrigh: Hmm got a little quicker too.
After I got back from vacation the switch from portal to forum was much better also. Don't know what you guys did but Good Job. :thumleft:

The problem now is that it's on the new server, but the DNS propagation hasn't completed, so some people can't get to it. I'm one of those people, I got in through the "super-secret" back door. ;-)

It should be all good, soon... Hang in there, everybody.

That's odd. Shouldn't have anything to do with your browser.

It'll all be fixed, soon... Just takes time.

I snuck a peek at the CPU load on the new server. The old server was usually around 3, sometimes up to 4. The new one shows 0.47 average.

I didnt think the browser should make a differance but it did so I wont complain.

Mucho faster now! :shock:

Mucho faster now! :shock:

Really? Cool!

Adam - it should be working with all of your browers now... Let me know if isn't.

 

[AdamR]

Im in.

I was starting to wonder... it wasn't working as of midnight last night, but obviously it works this morning. :mrgreen: Ans it does seem faster. :thumleft:

What happens if you use the real URL? You still get the "board disabled" message?

 

[Mopardude]

Yes! To make sure it wasn't a browser issue I cleared everything in firefox and still a no go than I tested with IE and that was a no go either.

You just gotta wait, I guess. DNS will propagate to you eventually...

I'm glad it's back up and running i was starting to have withdrawals and found myself lurking around moparts last night until 10o'clock when the power went out! :shock:
Turns out some jackass broke into a switch station and shut power off to 11 thousand people! :axe:

Would not have been so bad if it were summer but it was 20degrees when the power went out!
