Server Move Complete

[Hawker]

Hi,

 

The server move has been completed and the board should work as expected. 

 

There's still some work to do on the Episodes site, but I may not be able to fix it before this evening.  

 

Let me know if there are any problems with the board in this thread.  I'll give you the heads up once the Episodes site is resolved too.

 

Thanks for your patience yesterday.

Thanks Sal  I've noticed the board is a bit slow at the moment but I assume it's just adjusting to the new server...

Thanks, Sal!!!

Thanks Sal for all your hard work. Quite a few issues loading the forum at the moment. This is my third attempt at loading this page.

[Clare]

Thanks for all your hard work @Hawker  I really appreciate it.

 

I'm having trouble loading the page or forum as well.

I noticed when I posted the summary tonight, that the preview shot (last button on the RHS) didn't work tonight.  Not sure if it is temporary with loading issues or is a glitch.

The forum index and Neighbours Episodes don't seem to be working properly on Microsoft Edge. The forum index doesn't appear correctly but when you click on a topic, the topics display correctly.

Ah, forget the archive for the moment - it needs quite a bit of work.

 

I've put the board back online as I want to see how it copes with people using it.  I might take it down again later if the same problems persist.  

[Tracy C]

Thanks Sal for your hard work and patience getting us back online

 

Certainly today, the stuff that was causing issues seem to be behaving better today.

[Hawker]

Bless you, mate, I wasn't very patient yesterday - as you heard!   

[Tracy C]

Testing times for us all just now

[Hawker]

I've made a few changes - can you all test and see how you go again?

 

Sorry about this being a bit up and down!  Really appreciate your help.

[Tracy C]

Sal the miracle worker!

For me it is taking a few seconds for the page to load with an error that the page can't load properly, I have to refresh it for it to load completely.

This is an image of the page that appears before refreshing

[Hawker]

Hi @Neil - those are the errors which seem to be cured on my side since the changes I made a few minutes ago. 

 

Could you give the site a hard refresh for me and see if that stops those errors?  

[Hawker]

Hmm, maybe not.  I'll keep working on it.

 @Hawker

 

The pages are loading a lot quicker now, the error screen flashes up for about 2 seconds now and automatically refreshes to the site

Thanks for your all your efforts, Sal! Don't know it helps for us to post 'symptoms' but the thing I'm getting a lot of is bare-bones, Times New Roman loading:

 

Also quite a few link clicks that don't register, and not being able to type in reply boxes etc. It had been better today than it was yesterday but seems to have taken a bit of a dip again.

 

When I've had problems similar to this in the past with websites I've worked on after a server switch, I seem to recall the web server folk I called up on the phone to sort it out saying the PHP version was to blame. But that might not apply in the slightest here, as I'm very far from being an expert!

If it helps, this is what I’m seeing a lot of:
