Changes to site?

[Matt Weir]

Hi Chaps,

Has there been any changes made overnight?

When I use http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/search.php?do=getdaily to check for the past days musings I get redirected to the homepage at http://66.197.131.213.

Is this by design?

Umm, The Site is being moved to new servers, however, it's not supposed to be switched over just yet but the enthusiastic tech thought it was a good idea to do it last night. It's supposed to happen later this week after I give everyone notice

I'm just about to put up a notice.

Cheers Tony,

Will the site then work the same as before once the work is complete?

Initially, we aim to get it stable, as it was before and then we'll be making changes over the next while.
After this initial stage there should be little disruption. The idea is to refine a few things and change a few other things which will address some of the member issues. It's an ongoing process as you're no doubt aware.

Thanks mate and good luck with the project.

Good luck with it all Tony. I know you must have been tearing your hair out with it all lately.

 

[Tony]

Thanks mate

I presume this is related to the server change...

When I enter the "Forums" tab, I now lose the tabs at the tab of the page which allow me to navigate around the site.

I get the same thing when I follow e-mail links, I jump to a thread but can not access the navigation tabs.

Is this just me, or is anybody else affected?

I have to admit I prefer the forum this way too - and the fact when you click the 'last post' it actually goes to it again

I do hope this is to stay as it definatly makes navaigating easier

 

[Tony]

the lack of frames is due to moving servers and sorry but it's not going to stay this way, although after we get it all working smoothly I'll be changing the forum pages so that it is better for you guys.

Thanks

 

[g4ghb]

Thanks Tony - I appreciate what you are doing and the work involved. It was more of information than critisism re the frames

I do hope the navigation buttons will stay working though as that is one thing I really missed

also the frames 'reset' after you post a reply again rather than having to manualy refresh which is good news too...

keep up the good work mate! :You_Rock_

 

[rapidboy]

the big page is soo much better

 

[CLEM]

the big page is soo much better

Agreed,I can read the whole page now!

 

[dommyracer]

seems the move to a new server has now caused the site to be blocked at my workplace......

can't quite work out why, comes u with a warning about 'proxy avoidance'.....

bummer

I like this, but sort of miss something along the side, even a small border. I suppose I just got used to it the way it was. Nice to be able to go straight to the new post though, sooo nice!

 

[Tony]

Guys, don't get too used to it, the menus are going to come back and then some other changes will be made that will give more space for the forum pages but not as much as this full width

NOOOooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Tony]

YESssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Honestly, it will be better than it was, lots of people want the left hand menu, just getting rid of the right hand one will make a huge difference.

 

[spamel]

I can see losing the right hand pane making a lot of difference. Can't wait to see it, I do miss the stuff on the left.
