Hosting Changed!

[bfrd]

Ok, we are up and running on the new host. There are a few wrinkles that I still need to iron out and I am sure we will see some oddities in the next few days. Please let me know what you find and we will take care of them. I have re-enabled posting.

It's working a treat, no issues that I've come across. Top job Matthew

Thanks everyone. It has been an eventful time. I couldn't be more pleased with the process and performance of the site. I am most impressed with how well searching responds now. It used to be terrible, practically un-useable. Now you can hardly tell a search took place. Near instant results!

[RangerNeil]

Things are are lot smoother now - well done!

One question - which is probably me screwing up somewhere - when I used to log on to the old site the first screen I got was all the latest posts by time of posting. That doesn't appear any more???

I apologize for the lengthy downtime. The site wasn't unavailable that long when I did the migration. The version update went poorly. All should be ok now.

We're just grateful its here mate. I'm no Tecky but I reckon you've handled the changeover superbly.

Many a time have I heard the phrase, 'the update went in last night, that's why nothing works this morning' so I think you're well ahead of the game.

[Tomcat64]

The fact that this cutover has happened as smoothly as it has is a testament to the planning & prep you must have put in mate.

The new site is running phenomenally well, and tbh I hadn't realised just how laggy the old version was getting until you switched us over. The general response (let alone searching) is a vast improvement

Email notifications should be back on. Currently, they are coming from globalscalemodeller@gmail.com. I hope to change that to use our new domain name, but that isn't quite ready yet. If you don't start seeing your normal notifications, please let me know.

I might just be imagining things but I think my modelling skills may have increased as a result of this.

Just like to give BFRD, Matthew a big hand for getting the site moved, renamed, updated, secured and functioning.

Way to go man

And so say all of us!

Come on, sing with me brothers. And so say all of us......

Well thank goodness Matthew has been so vigilant and had foresight to move us and protect us.
I had a summary of the week email from a ship forum that mentioned model ship world has been cyber attacked
All the data and backups have been deleted.
That would be my Black Pearl build thread gone from there then. What a S show.

Beats me why they are even putting the effort in to hack the modelling sites.
Not really a mountain of financial information stored here only email addresses.
Actually really grateful we have such a giving and knowledgable person willing to look after our site.

Just out of interest, and because I'm new here and don't know the history of the place, is this why you had a name change from ISM to GSM?

Yes, a large reason and a much longer story behind

I'm sure the 100 Rubles my Uncle Zlatov receives each week for protection also helps.
