FORUM UPGRADES - COMPLETED (For real this time! I hope...)

[bob]

ETA - The work's been completed, no further outages anticipated.

I'm about to make major changes to the DNS stuff. That's going to break stuff for a while, possibly 24 to 48 hours.

This place may disappear for a day or so.

DON'T PANIC! It will be back. Hopefully faster.

 

[bob]

It will probably be in a day or two, I'm going to do the other ones first. But it will be soon.

Thinking maybe Friday night if my testing works, that way I'll be around on Saturday to make sure it gets done.

 

[Old 97]

Thanks Bob.

Really enjoy the time I spend here.

 

[bob]

I think we may be onto something. Seems to be running better for now. I'm still going to make the changes though.

 

[D&J RailRoad]

Oh, gee. I thought I missed the outage.

 

[bob]

Oh, gee. I thought I missed the outage.

No. Might be tonight, might be Friday night. We'll see how things go.

 

[TLOC]

Thanks, I won’t panic but if you hear violent scratching on the server room doors, just ignore me! It’s just withdrawals…

 

[Rico]

Thanx Bob, bracing myself now!

Looks like some trains will be running Saturday.

 

[bob]

For most of you, the outage will only be a few hours. It all depends on your web host and how often they update their dns info.

 

[Colbert]

DON'T PANIC!

Too late ! I'm completely panicked !

 

[Iron Horseman]

DON'T PANIC!

So this is a hint we should be reading "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" in the mean time?

 

[bob]

A look behind the scenes... Let's see if it works...

 

[bob]

And... That's a Wrap!

The DNS server has been updated. Since you can see this, the outage is over for you. How long it lasted will vary from person to person, depending on your web host. For me, it was amazingly fast, around 15 minutes. Maybe I was just lucky, but there's also a reason I use Network Solutions as my domain registrar.

Well, Saturday is always a good time to run trains but it's only Thursday, and not only are we back up and running, it's finally running like it's supposed to once again, much to my relief.

Well that was close, I almost started a conversation with the wife.
Thanx Bob!

Dangerous territory, indeed.

Looks as if I am caught in the middle?
intermittent outages and slow uploading -- back and forth?

Seems stable in Indiana at the moment. Nice and fast most of the time.

I'll go visit a photo heavy thread and see.

Pics are loading fast on Tom O's weathering thread. Looks good (both Tom's work, as well as Bob's)
