sorry guys but the time had to come when i have to close the whole site and forum down, due to ever increasing bandwith and popularity i have no option than to upgrade to a much newer faster server with all the lastest software releases.The Hosts will close this server down and i have to backup everything tonight and reinstall to the new server.I'm hoping it will be down for a maximum of 24 hours.last time i redid the database i had to reinstall all the posts manually which took me days, i'm hoping this doesn't happen.

see you soon and apologies for the inconvenience!

no problem mate, if it makes things easier/chepaer then its gotta be worth it. Good luck with it all, if ya need any help let me know.

Shouldn't be too difficult.

Moving servers nowasays is so streamlined its unreal.

Hope it all goes well for you bud.

Ive got one of those external 320 gig HD drives if you need to borrow it let me know.

cheers scott but this site aint that big lol

An external hdd doesn't help him backup and restore a database. lol

P.S - Do you own the domain zxrworld.co.uk??

Just recognise the registered name from somewhere.

Probably not even you, lol.

Thanks for the headsup, Baz. See you in a day or two, but hopefully not more.

planned downtime is going to be tommorrow afternoon sometime, then i'll upload everything to the new server and restore the databases tommorrow night so hopefully be back online about midnight tommorrow.

Smart.
I hope the hestia green style stays. I've grown to like it rather a lot.

everything will be as is now, although the new server will give me the option to run vbulletin funds providing of course lol

Maybe i'm miss-informed, but when I backed up all my files to an external hardrive, it helped me restore some toad..

well what a bloody nightmare!!!!

problem after problem, i've been sat on this every hour possible, i am hoping all is working now.

apologies for the downtime, i think we may have lost a days posting due to the hosts not phoning me b4 they closed the old server so apologies for that and for anyone joining that may need to join again.

please pm me immediately if you find any problems.

if anything goes wrong now i'll have to renew the lot.

fingers crossed!!!

Looks like 4 days worth of posts gone, not to worry. We can soon fill it up again.
