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

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, 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.
