THE SITE MAY GO 'DOWN!'

Dear Ladies

unfortunately I just received an email from the host providers informing me that they are going to upgrade the server that this site is hosted on.

Now the bad news is that with the upgrade they will also be upgrading some other software which are unsupported by the melswebs message boards and also by the melswebs gallery.

I received the email today at 6:11pm and the upgrade is scheduled for tomorrow.....which doesn't give much notice. They will not delay the upgrade.

As a result of this there is no guarantee that melswebs message boards and gallery will function at all and we could be without the interactive part of the site.

Chat will still function because this is on a different server (at least....I think it will!)

If the site does go down I will continue work on upgrading the boards. I am doing that as we speak but there are many customised code changes to make which may not work with the new versions either (a catch 22!)....and they take time for me to complete.

So....we could be up the creek without a paddle. keep your fingers crossed!

If the worst comes to the worst I will resurrect melswebs as a new site from scratch and then try to integrate the current database with the new one. That will take time too because I am not good with MySQL either!

Apologies.

Regards

Mel

Thanks for letting us know, Mel. I have confidence in your abilities and I'm sure you will have the boards up and running as soon as you can. In the meantime, we'll all be patient and let you concentrate. Wink

I have backed the site up and will do so again tomorrow morning; however it would be good practice if you saved your own work too....just in case!

hugs

Mel

GOOD NEWS

I made some code changes to the boards and to the gallery last night and this morning.

Around an hour ago I was informed by the HOST providers that the server and platform upgrades have been completed.

I have done a minimal check on the boards and it appears that login is unaffected. You should be able to post without any issue and you should be able to read and send PMs. If you notice any error pages or anything doing strange things then please let me know.

I need some of you also (anyone) to click on and check links external to the message boards and the gallery. All pages on the site require checking. If any of you have a spare moment can you check them and list the areas that you have checked on this thread with any issues you find.

I also checked the gallery. You can post images and you can also add comments. So that is functioning.

There is one issue with the gallery. When submitting images please don't submit them in .gif format as the newer version of imagemagick apparently doesn't work as efficiently with .gif format images.

Have a great evening....oh...by the way....chat was unaffected by the upgrade because it is on a different server.

Have fun posting ....reading and chatting. Smile

Hugs to all

Mel
*breathing a massive sigh of relief that this is over.

Mel, you hard work is much appreciated, this is a home away from home for so many people and I for one could not be without it. Thanks.
