and.. we're back!

[rdevonshire]

Just updated the server-side software - successfully, with a few bumps along the way.

Report any errors (actual errors) in this topic if you could, and the page which you came across the error so I can investigate it properly.

I'm hoping the software updates will run things a little smoother until the new server is ready and we transfer the site over.

Apologies for the little outage.

Moderator move this to 'Suggestions, bugs & feedback' please.

Oopsie.

 

[Toddy]

I've tried twice to shift it, but each time it tells me I can't move the thread "to" the forum it's already in

cheers,
Toddy

 

[Toddy]

Third time lucky ??

Yess !
atb,

Turning into one of those weeks..

Fingers crossed it'll be stable now - all pray to the Internet gods please.

Don't need to, we know who to blame now!



Grab yer pitchforks lads!

 

[rdevonshire]

Oh no why oh why

 

[wanderinstar]

I thought it was sorted but just tried to put a post on and it timed out.




Marvellous, this one has been accepted. Will retry the other post.

 

[rdevonshire]

We've arranged an alternate server, especially for BushcraftUK - we'll transfer it, soon as I've been in touch with Tony to confirm a few changes at his side of the fence.

 

[ANDYRAF]

I've just had the devil's own job just getting on the site (14 tries), I know before you say it I am now. Is it me or the equipment?

 

[rdevonshire]

It'll remain online now *touch wood*

 

[ANDYRAF]

I think the wood should be taken as a 4x2 and introduced to the server at velocity.

Agreed - although I don't think Tony would comply.

Could you supply the URL/address you are getting that error on please.

 

[Eric_Methven]

It certainly seems more stable for the time being. PM's are going out without the blank page appearing and I can navigate around all right. Speed of connecting has picked up too.

Next time it comes up I'll take a screen shot for you, typically, it's not done it since i posted above

Report any errors (actual errors) in this topic if you could, and the page which you came across the error so I can investigate it properly.

I still can't access the site if I click on my bookmarked pages. All it shows is a page of 'computer instructions' (I'll edit later to give a sample - if I can get back in). I get the same if I click on a google search or click on the link from BritishBlades.
The 'working' link from Song of The Paddle was priceless though .

EDIT: (quicker than I thought ) below is a sample of the page metioned above.

This shouldn't actually be happening now. What I suspect is your Internet browser has cached the page locally due to it being in your bookmarks. Clear your history or do CTRL + F5 to do a complete 'retry' of the page.
