Board Offline Msg

[Magic]

For the last 2 weeks or so I keep getting board offline messages, or the page won't even load and just times out. Both errors happen on my work comp and home laptop.

Then when it finally works, I look at the times ppl have made posts and they were during the times I was having trouble so it's affecting individuals not the entire forum.

Anyone else having this problem? It's realy frustrating.

Its not just you.

SAU has been moving server and it has been happening on and off for about a week.

I see. I thought they moved server about a month ago when it was down for an entire weekend.

And others have been making posts when I couldn't access it, unless the post timestamps are wrong. Which is wierd.

Anyways I'll live, just thought I'd let admins know.

Cheers.

you couldnt get on because the DNS servers of your IP had not updated yet, while the people who were posting were doing so via updated DNS servers.

Heres a quick and dirty rundown;

The site has been moved to a new server and the old server has had its config updated to point to the new servers db. This means we have one db and two 'sites' until everybodies DNS is updated. Because I have fixed the search on the new server, people who are still getting the old server's 'site' will have some problems, but they will be fixed when the users' DNS is updated. (ie, I can search and view new posts with no errors at all).

Hopefully that makes sense, its hard to explain DNS stuff without pictures. Ask any q's, I might have to reply using an ms paint representation.

When the board says its offline - it means just that, its offline.

Its nothing wrong with your end.
