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.

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. :P

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.

    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
