Thread: Possible downtime today

Hi all

We're moving this forum to a new server. Downtime should only be 10-15 minutes, we've already copied the 50+GB of files/data, so re-syncing the attachments and database will be a reasonably quick process.

Once we're back online, some of you may see an error message saying you're connecting to an old server. You can usually fix this by flushing your computers DNS cache;

Windows users can do this;

Open the command prompt and type the following:

C:>ipconfig /flushdns

regards

Thanks for coming out of the dungeon and giving us the heads up Steve marry Christmas and may the boss buy you all the new stuff you need

We had some problems with restoring the database! apologies for the extended downtime.

If you notice any problems, please contact me ASAP.

regards

For Mac users, in 'Terminal', you type:

dscacheutil -flushcache

Hi Steven,

Yep the images for that one are not on the old server or this one. I'm not sure whats going on, maybe they've been deleted with the [attach ] tags left in the post.

i've asked the OP to re-upload them.

I found one last night but for the life of me can't remember which it was.

Here's another I found this morning http://www.woodworkforums.com/f152/new-plane-128690/.

Strange there is no mention of attachments in the posts.

Going from the replies in that thread, there was originally one, as everyone who replied to it commented on the type of timber otherwise what did they see

Thanks, it looks like images posted yesterday up to 6pm are missing, there isn't much we can do about this. If they can be re posted that would be great.

No worries
