Quite likely Software change.

In related news:

I have stopped uploads to the gallery.
Just to give the chap doing the move a static archive to work with.
Still visible, but no additions for a month+.
It will return to normal a little post-shift, hopefully on a better platform.

On the shift: Server move will happen first, which hopefully nobody will really notice (unless the notification issue changes), then the boss will be hiring a clever chap to shift the actual software.
There will be some hefty downtime. Last time was a few days, cannot say if it'll be less or more.


Seems a good place to say that there's gonna be a bit of an attempt at fundraising soon too.
Otto's been shelling out for both sites for a long while, and it doesn't get any cheaper as things get bigger. We'll see what form a bit of voluntary help might take soonish.

 

Otto's working on some sort of funding help system. While he's doing that, all the positive vibes on that score I've read both openly and by PM are very much appreciated, chaps. (And, naturally, negative ones too! Happy to discuss.)
I'm certain we'll never be a pay site, as that doesn't really make sense to anyone (remember that historian and his WW2 pay site a while back? No... neither do I.), but the scale of things does mean we'll likely be deploying the begging bowl here and on 2F in a way we haven't before.

The techie bloke is booked for a particular date.
Will give more precise warning a week before the event (actually... must check if I'm allowed to might be some sort of security reason to keep schtumm on exactly when the button's pushed... )
Oh, and In case anyone was concerned, the Gallery has been included in the brief. Should also be fine.
Errr... That's it for now.

 

It is coming soon.
I've seen evidence of a Xenforo license being purchased. (Though still no sign of Kahlua, Vodka... or even milk, which is all slightly disappointing.)
I've also forgotten the precise date , but it's on it's way.
Fair warning given.
Anyone says they weren't told - there may well be a little light sarcasm.

(And always remember to hassle Owen. Doesn't have to be site related, just hassle him.)

 

I think there's a fair chance of the odd outage over the next week, with some prep going on intermittently for the move.

But mostly, yes; always consult Owen. He loves it, and is always so polite.

 

Just spat me beer out you buggers.

 

It's very hard to make out through that accent, but I think he said 'Please call me on my mobile about the software shift, Adam has the number' or something, probably.

 

ring all you like, it gets turned off as soon as I get in from work
