❗❗🚨 Major Autoshite Server Maintenance and Downtime - Completed 🚨❗❗

[SiC]

Welcome back!

If you can read this then the migration is done and you're on the new server. The search is currently rebuilding, so you may find that doesn't work quite right. Usually that takes a day to complete. Please let me know if anything isn't working properly or anything appears missing (especially email notifications for hotmail/icloud users). 

A fresh backup is currently running which will drive the server quite hard. That'll take a few hours. Hopefully by tomorrow everything will have settled down and be up to full performance.

For the most part, everything should be pretty much identical. It'll be a success if it is.

Thank you for your patience!

There is a certain amount of responsibility when you have access to these buttons!

It was like watching the football results on ceefax

[Westbay]

Well done !

Well done, these things are always a bit nerve-wracking.  Perhaps you should offer your services to NATS and help them create an air traffice control system that doesn't crash and cause utter chaos, as it did last year.

Response time loading pages seems to be massively improved.

Thanks for the hard work @SiC

How are we finding the server? Has anyone found that some stuff is missing?

I intend to delete the old server and all it's storage later today or tomorrow (its costing double to have both around and running ATM). Once that's done, there is no way back or possibility of recovering anything that hasn't been transferred. 

Search indexing is currently at 74%. So another good few hours till that's finished. Once done, everything should hopefully be up to full speed.

Seems good to me, on 4g and flicking about in mk for the past little while! Snappier than before, there isn't the initial tiny wait whilst the content loads on the big threads

[Coprolalia]

Page load times seem quicker on mobile. They were never slow and I doubt I would have noticed without knowing the migration was happening, but there is now no lag at all rendering a thread.

Edit: what Sam/ Beko said.

[Captain Mainwaring]

Thanks very much for this!

Tried to add a photo to a reply to hmc’s rolls thread in the for sale section a little while ago and it wouldn’t do it. Just tested and same message here. Screenshot and it will upload that?

I'm not seeing any  topics on my feed from anything but the main forum. 

I can get into the others by selecting them but they're not appearing on my normal view. 

This happening to anyone else? 

[loserone]

My unread feed definitely inclues every forum.  

 

Had a few failures to load pages in the last couple of minutes (1545)
