Here’s the story so far; we’re on a new server and we’ve upgraded to the latest operating system and a larger spec machine. The site team have also upgraded the software on the box and the hosting software. We’re now running the latest version of the forum and news software.
Working so far:
- forums upgraded and working
- news upgraded and working
- archived (old) articles/reviews working
- news page re-skinned
- server optimized as best we can for now while the updates take hold
To do:
- Get user-driven ReviewPost engine working again
- rebuild forum PMs (currently lots missing as upgrade has not been done yet)
- rebuild forum posts 2 million to do.. it’ll take about 3 days to do it.
- reskin/design forum look
At present there’s a forum rebuild going on so the site may be slightly slower than we’d like for the next few hours while this takes place. There’s a lot of code crunching going on in the background. The latest bugs and “gotchas” that we are working on are listed in our support forums.
Our final domain shift is taking place over next 24-48hours as we just update our domain nameservers. This shouldn’t affect things for the end user however it’s worth mentioning.
