Dave Ambrose Posted January 25, 2021 Author Posted January 25, 2021 Update 1: The new server is up and running. We will be doing a data migration sometime very soon. I'll try to make it more graceful, but you may get a time out for the entire site.

I really hope one of the things your going to do is get ride of the add's that are all over and come up in between subjects.!!!! Expand It's pretty high up on my list of things to do. But, it will happen after I get us moved in to the new server.
hedotwo Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Thanks Dave! I'd be totally lost without this board....
Belugawrx Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Thanks Dave, for keeping us in touch with family !
Venom Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 I’d just like to say thanks also. I’m still new, but I really love this forum!!

landman Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 We will be patient if we need to. Like several above it is my first morning stop.
Tom Geiger Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Dave- A thought.. When one hits the little newspaper icon at top of page for: Unread Content Showing all content I have not read and posted in for the last 365 days This is the slowest activity on both my iPhone and Windows 10 laptop. I can imagine it is indexing tens of thousands of posts! When I do my own search and limit timeframe to 90 days or even 6 months, it is much quicker. Would your setting the default search to 6 months be possible? I think that could solve a lot of the slowness issues!

You can also define your own activity streams too.
Plowboy Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Thanx for the work you do Dave! Is there any way you could please please set up the WIP sections so that they can be edited past three days? Also, I no longer have a preview option. But, I can get by without it.

Expand X2 on this as I am currently working on a WIP where I’ve noticed I need to make some corrections, but no longer have that ability since too much time’s gone by. I think that for WIP’s it would be nice to have unlimited editing time, or at least until it’s finished.
Tortuga Kustomz Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Thank you for all the hard work made by the forum team Dave
Dave Ambrose Posted January 28, 2021 Author Posted January 28, 2021 Update 2: New server is in place, and it checks out good. I've given them go-ahead to do the final data transfer. The site will probably go offline tomorrow, Jan 28, while the final cutover happens. You may get various errors including "Host not found" while this is happening, and possibly afterward. Please bear with us as it can take up to 24 hours (but usually doesn't) for old information to get purged from the Interwebs.
Misha Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Not sure if anyone is experiencing frustratingly snail paced downloads, both for topics and then the photos... Cheers Misha
crazyjim Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Most of the email notices I get from forum posta are now going straight to my spam folder and I don't know how to get back to normal.

Expand open one of them in your spam folder and you should get the option to mark them as not spam
crazyjim Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 I've been going into the spam folder and moving to to new mail. Would marking them as not spam correct the issue?

Dave Ambrose Posted January 28, 2021 Author Posted January 28, 2021 Update 3: Final migration is scheduled for 11 AM, Pacific today, Jan 28th. If you have anything you're thinking about posting, consider holding off until this evening.
Dave Ambrose Posted January 28, 2021 Author Posted January 28, 2021 Update 4: Migration is complete. All looks good so far, but let us know if you encounter any problems.
bobthehobbyguy Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Thanks Dave for your time to doing this task. This site definitely helps me keep my sanity these days.
Venom Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 I just noticed that newly posted topics are showing 0 views even though they are getting responses.
