We are currently having some upgrades done to the server at this time. Do bear with us, there are likely to be small outages tonight whilst this is done.
Apologies for any inconvenience, however we are experiencing higher traffic levels lately and need to do some upgrades that are overdue.
Please be aware that should the forums become overloaded you should receive a message rather than a blank screen from now on. I’m working on curing the cause of the loading now, however this should keep things stable.
I’ll update on here with the latest information as it is available.
Update (in early AM of 12/12): well unfortunately the update didn’t take and left us with the latest PHP and SQL but SQL couldn’t be seen by PHP. End result we’ve rolled back to what we were running. We are going to schedule a complete upgrade probably next week. That’ll involve a new rack and moving all our data across onto the new box, then upgrading the news and forums. It won’t be smooth, this stuff never is, but it’ll mean more room and space. More importantly.. more pooooooower (like Clarkson would say).
