Info The plan today is achieved,all sorted,no more downtime.old board now available for copy paste

[daveb47]

Ok,today is the day,after having another try at getting new software working correctly last night,i have given up on it for now & will wait till it has had a bit more developement & they have got rid of the bugs.

 

So we will be staying on old softtware (this one) until it stops being supported.

 

Plan today is to  close this board for posting so i can take backup of it,upload backup to autoshite.com server.then get that set up and running.

that will take several hours as it is over 20 gb.

 

 

[daveb47]

Will be open here till about 12:00.

 

Any posts till then will be moved to autoshite.com

[Lord Sterling]

Sweet, at least I can still browse/post whilst stuck here in Frankfurt.

[daveb47]

Will be going offline in about 45 mins.

then an hour or so and autoshite.com is back for good.

[daveb47]

All updated,my  be some minor glitches while i adjust pathss & generally update plugins etc.

But all good to go now.

[Stanky]

Well done Dave!

[messerschmitt owner]

hurrah! Many, many thanks for the hard work and stress you've had to endure while we've been whinging about the lack of AS.

[M'coli]

Thanks for all your efforts, it must be frustrating. PS, open forums link takes you to .info.

[saucedoctor]

Well done Dave, it won't let me automatically upload photos on to here yet, says the file is too large?. Other than that it seems much better. Thank you!

Found it.....

Will take a look at photo settings

Settings are fine,forgotten to set limits in php.ini.

Will do that now

 

Hopefully sorted

[daveb47]

I intend to install a version of new ipb board somewhere so if anyone wants to copy over any misssing threads/posts etc they will be able to do so

[brownnova]

Ahhhhhhh, it's all good again

[Coprolalia]

Cheers Michael, working like an oily rag Singer Gazelle once more...

I give it another 2-3 days max before the site is down again for some reason.

 

dave you are very dedicated but if you want my honest opinion, you keep trying to fix what isn't broken... and it's breaking the site in the process. Are these constant updates and switching between domains really necessary? - This is the only forum I'm on that is constantly upgrading... and it's the only one that is constantly going offline. The worst thing is that each time it seems to happen we end up switching to the other site and then finding out that a ton of posts have been lost forever.

 

I'm not having a dig, I'm just pointing out what plenty of other folks will be silently thinking. Apologies if that isn't going along with the general tune in this thread.

 

PS This version of the board is far superior to the other one anyway

[adw1977]

The trouble is, technology moves on. Old software ends up unsupported. Never upgrading is simply not an option.

 

I can't begin to imagine what goes on behind the scenes to keep this place going, but I'm grateful to Dave for doing it!

I seem to have lost the posts since the 10th July from Six-cylinder Motoring Notes, can they be put back?

Mine too.

Unfortunately not as database for new board is incompatable with this version.

But i am installing new software board somewhere else so you can copy/paste posts.

 

This however will take some time as over 60gb of data to upload.

[johngarty]

Well done Dave. Its good to be back here. Hope we stay.

[daveb47]

Board is,(barring unforseen problems)up for good in this format.

Its a shame that new version was so buggy & crap as it had some good features.
