Will it come back?

No any posts made after made a full backup late last night will be MIA.

I had too....

1. Create a full cPanel backup

2. Compress it

3. Download it

4. Upload it to the new servers

5. Decompress it

6. Tweak some settings for the databases

7. Change the DNS nameservers.

I see a nap in my future today.

Thanks for this change Dane! Any news on the original "Starting to Decode"?

Way to go bro!

How depressing. I reached post #800 last night and now I am back in the #790's

I'm still getting the old server on some devices. I posted a message there, so anyone else ending up there knows they're getting outdated pages.

If anyone is having problems seeing new posts, you may have a bad DNS server (*cough* time warner *cough*) that is storing the cached IP address longer than the TTL allows. Clearing your computer's DNS cache, rebooting your device/router, or simply waiting a few hours might resolve the problem.

Thanks for the hard work..

A few missing post isnt going to stop the earth from spinning.

The DNS servers AT&T uses seem to have not registered the change. Using Google's servers right now.

Darn I had over 200 post yesterday's now I'm in the 190s

Edit, I'm finally on the new server!

I finally made it to the new server, and I think some people are still on the old one.

I restarted my router and I made it to the new server.

I took me awhile to get back here, notice if I'm not on its the servers fault cause sometimes I can't access it.

I was on the new server earlier this evening, but got bounced back to the old server a few minutes ago. I had to use Google DNS to get back on here.

The server change resulted in new authoritative DNS servers. Changes to these can take up to 48 hours to propagate across the entire Internet, so these issues could continue until 10:00am Sunday.

Apparently, adding the new records to the old authoritative server isn't possible due to a Wordpress error. I'm not sure of those details.

If you get to the old server now, the workaround instructions I posted are displaying on a "maintenance mode" downtime page.

EDIT: By the way, Terp is trapped in The Twilight Zone.

The twilight zone?

He was trapped on the old server, posting things that most users couldn't see.

Being isolated from the rest of the world was a common theme on the Rod Serling show.

Oh, I was trapped there 20 minutes ago.

Terp's been caught in The Twilight Zone for years, testing the outer limits.

As for posting things most will never see, that's a good thing. I really didn't mean to spill all those beans last night, Mr. H. I'm sorry!

Thank you, Mr. Dane. I particularly appreciate the things you've done, both over the many years and in the background these past few, trying days to maintain this site, in ways very few will ever know, and that others will benefit from.

You truly are a great guy, Mr. Dane.

Again, for all you do, this thanks' for you!

Will we be unable to see who is reading a thread now for good?

I'm on a mobile (using desktop version of site) and it doesn't show who's reading anymore.

But thank you for your up keep to this website!

I turned it off from showing up on forums view to save load on the mySQL database.

Is anyone experiencing on the mobile site that when you select to read a topic, the topic starts now opens on page 1; whereas before the change (at least for me), it would go to the last page of the topic? With topics more than a couple pages, I am hitting the NEXT button way too many times!

Not sure if network is just that congested or possibly site, mobile taking quite some time to paid wheras other full sites load just fine, even the kic homepage is fine

About one time out of 20, mobile just hangs and doesn't load. Stop it, rehit the link and it does.

Honestly, how do you tell if you're on the new server or not?

^ If the forum is working, you're on the new server. The forum on the old server is now offline.

Plus this thread is not on the old server.

Don't ask me how I know this.

Thanks gentlemen!

Why doesn't it show who is reading each topic at the bottom of the page anymore?

It's no big deal, I was just curious...
