IT' ALIVE!!!!!!!!! Migration to new host complete.

[hikarateboy]

After tons of hours and thousands of co-pilot messages (amazing really) to figure out the new host created a broken VPS.  The site should be back and better than ever.  Beat it up and let me know what you find.  

That said.  IPB message board we use has become bloated and is bugging me to constantly buy updates and move to their cloud services.  It's to the point that I am ready to jump to another forum product.  I am not planning on doing it this week.  But likely in the future.  If you are interested check out xenforo, its lighter weight, has a very similar feature set and much more appealing licensing. 

Thanks all for your patience.  I appreciate every member of the first and best damn guitar forum on the internet for over 30 years 

your friend

For those that have no clue what I am referring to see the back story here:

Hooray!  Many, many thanks for all you do, Ted!

Thanks, Ted!

XenForo is the platform the PRS forum is running on.  I don't know what it's been like from an administration standpoint, but it's been extremely smooth and painless from my POV.  

Thanks again for your work - I was pleasantly surprised to see the board back up.  Smooth as silk so far.

I just tried uploading some jpg's and got error messages.

I can read everything on my computer.  

When trying to view the site on my phone there is a page saying the site is down for maintenance.  I signed out.  I signed in again and got the same message.  

[hamerhead]

Steve - did you unplug it for 15 seconds and plug it back in again?

Thanks, Ted!

After half an hour I can upload photos on my computer.  

I can login with my phone, but I still cannot upload photos from the phone.  Maybe it will work in 30 minutes.

This is truly amazing! Great work Ted! 

 

ETA: but seriously, Ted, could you talk to my bank and my accounting software provider and my...? 

 

ETAA: Great Scott this thing is quick. Amazing transformation, Ted. Really, really impressive.

Many thanks Ted!!! One minor item: can't seem to upload photos as before. Yes, I've reduced them to around 163 KB in size. Am I missing something?

I use an Imgur account and just paste links. No limit on photo size with that.

The site sez I can post up to 4.8 MB image. A 163 KB file should be an absolute non issue. 🤔 Ironically, this screen shot of the error message will load but it's 92 kb...
