APOLOGIES FOR SERVER DOWNTIME

[Nick]

.
In spite of having reined in the bots the VPS this server is on is still running out of resources regularly. I have therefore purchased a new server with more resources which will primarily be for the use of this forum.

I intend to make a copy of the forum on another domain and get that up and running first, so any downtime should be kept to a minimum. Watch this space for further details.

The site is now sitting at http://www.oceanbluesailing.co.uk/phpBB3/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; with a redirect from the old URL. Next think to do is to actually move bluemoment.co.uk to this server, then I will make a separate installation of the forum software, back up this forum and restore it to the new one. Everything should then be back to normal or thereabouts.

Is that why I got a screen offering me to install phpBB3, 1/2 hour ago? (and no forum, AND I had to sign in again - as if I didn't have enough problems with my sore toe...)

Is the change of domain really bugging anyone?

Julian did send me a PM on TOP asking if I'd banned him . . . is anyone else having any issues?

[sahona]

Seems OK now.

It's not bugging me.

At the price you charge I don't think it's reasonable to complain TBH.

Just changed where my bookmark was pointing, and normal service is resumed

At least it is MUCH more civilised on here. The rants on TOP seem to be getting worse

I must admit to throwing in the odd grenade now and again, then standing back to watch the fun

I didn't have to change anything - my bookmark since the change to phpBB3 has been

http://www.bluemoment.co.uk/phpBB3/index.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Still clicking on that and I assume that you're doing the redirect.

Am here now, sorry lads!

it did not redirect for me and I just went to a forbidden page..

Amazingly google found this new domain at the first result, unless you have been running this as a mirror nick, that must be a record for a top google ranking.

It may be worth you sending out a mailshot to all members telling them the new addy, I am sure I wont be the only one who's bookmark went to forbidden.. Though, my bookmark was at the 'forum' not the top of the site, if that makes any difference?

I had a similar response Julian, but it takes so little effort to find the new address and reset the link it was no big deal.
