Topic: Essential server maintenance

Hello,

We need to perform some essential maintenance on the servers which host peaveyoxford.com so over the next few weeks there will be some temporary interruptions to service while we make these important changes. When changes are being made the forum will be made read only and a message will be posted to indicate that maintenance is under way. We are working hard to minimise the impact of this work and will let you know when it is complete.

Best Regards,

Rachael

Re: Essential server maintenance

Hi again,

The first phase of the maintenance is now complete and the forums are open for business again. We will be making further changes in the following week or so and will let you know when further outages are going to occur.

Best Regards,

Rachael

I like the new cleaner look.

Re: Essential server maintenance

Hello all,

We are now ready for the second phase of the server maintenance. We will be locking the forums again shortly while we do the updates and you should see it all come back online either later on today or over the weekend.

Best Regards,

Rachael

Re: Essential server maintenance

Hello again,

If you are reading this then all went well and you are able to access the forum at its new server. You will likely see a few improvements over the old forum (especially those of you who haven't visited in the last couple of weeks and seen the first stage upgrades already). We have upgraded the forum software to the latest version which has (as Phil points out) a cleaner look. The most important thing you will see is that it is now possible to attach files to posts which will allow easy sharing of plugins for example.

Anyway, please feel free to explore and if you want to give us any feedback on what we have done then please do.

Best Regards,

Rachael
