The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

Hey guys,

Just like the "back from the dead" post below I'm about to change hosts again as it will be cheaper, just more hassle and a bit of downtime. Hopefully not as much as last time, I'm a little more prepared but have forgotten a lot of what I did three years ago.

I did just send an email to everyone's registered address as well, so don't worry, it's not Vinnie, the site is not going away for any reason, just forging ahead for the next three years at least on a new hosting plan.

I will have to shut down for a bit while the database moves across, so no posts are made and then lost, and I plan to move the Domain registration so the DNS servers of the internet will need a few hours when that happens to point to the right place.

Good times!!!

This will happen any day/time now.

Thanks, and see you on the other side!

Ok, I will probably start this tomorrow morning, which will be Saturday Australian Eastern Daylight Savings time. Sometime on Friday in the US etc.

Wish me luck!

Good Luck Vic

Thanks man, about to start the process!

And......we're back again!!!

More lessons learned, and if a certain tech support agent was more helpful we'd have been back hours ago but I needed to go to sleep. The database was being strange but a new tech guy got it sorted this morning and it worked right away.

I will endevour to do some software updates on the board now that I'm on the new host as well.

Great Job

Thanks man, still some things to do, but we'll get there!

Ok, trying to do some simple things has caused the board to literally crash on me, so I learnt some lessons on not doing ANYTHING!

The software is a fair few versions behind, so I will try to address that, with advice, in the near future, and then try to get some of the extensions working.

For now I'll just let us post!

I think I might try another new look. This look is one where I painstakingly adjusted the colours to suit. I have found another that has a pink default and is more updated so it sounds like the way to go, and should be a refreshing change.

I like this style, and the one before it was also cool. Let's see what this new style brings.

I won't do it super soon, it would be good to chill for a bit.
