Title: Heads Up - Website Outages - Server Upgrade
Post by: Marsh White on May 04, 2011, 08:17:18 PM
As some of you may have noticed - this forum website has been sporadically down and slow over the last few weeks.  It was down earlier today for a brief period of time as well.  We have been exceeding the resources of the hosting account.  So earlier today I upgraded our hosting account and our forum has already been moved to the new server.  If any of you noticed any of your posts from earlier today deleted that is why (it happened to one of my posts actually during the server move).

Our domain DNS nameservers are currently being updated.  So - the purpose of this message is a heads up that the website might appear to be "down" for you and some posts might be lost during this transition.  This should be complete within 24 hours.

Anyway - this is all good news - it means we are growing!   :good2:

Yeah, I lost a PM last night, I hit send and the page timed out. Refreshed later and all was blank. Damn, I forgot half of what I typed....Needless to say my new message was much shorter. I figured out how to fit my rant into a more compressed message. So it was not all bad (for the reader). Growth is good, there are more FJ's out there and clever owners with good experience than we have signed up. I wonder just how many????

Marsh,

You're not working on my corporate travel web site while you're at it -are you?  :sarcastic:

I was booking travel earlier today and just as I hit 'purchase tickets' it went to 'page not found'  -oh crap! did it buy the tickets are not?  Turns out not, but I was not sure for a while there.
