Server move successful
Hi there,
I have successfully moved the forum to the new server. I have also taken the liberty of updating the software to eliminate some of the more annoying
bugs.
I have tested nearly all of the common functionality, and it seems to work. However, as we've moved locations, I've upgraded all moderators
temporarily to administrators - any moderator or admin can help you reset your password if you get stuck.
If you get stuck with your password, please try:
http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/misc.php?action=lostpw
I've tested this function and it works for me, but the e-mail took a good few minutes to get to me.
If that does not work, please contain *any* of the moderators or admins and they can help reset your password. If all else fails, please e-mail me
directly at vanderaj@greebo.net.
If you have forgotten or want the Bad Attitude password, please contact me directly, tell me your username and state that you are over 18. Remember,
it's not a forum for the thin skinned or the under 18's.
thanks,
Andrew

Okay, I'll check that out
Some statistics on our new server. It effortlessly coped with us.
Yay!

By comparison, our old server regularly used to hover in the load 2-4 area, which means that the server has on average 4-8 processes ready to run, but
can't. A load of 1.0 is fully busy.
Although the I/O's per second seem high, not all of them require disk access - most are serviced from RAM. We have plenty of RAM for us ... right
now.
In an admin task we use, finding and deleting attachments with no associated posts, the server is 3.67 times faster than the old server. Gotta love
that
thanks,
Andrew

Hey, does it work any better now? IE 6 does not understand XHTML (which this software is progressively moving towards, which makes XHTML capable
browsers like Firefox and Safari render faster and far more similarly) and the ID attribute for "bottom" was first, which IE can't understand. I
also inserted a space in the a tag, so hopefully, IE and all its wonderous bugs might, just might work like any other decent browser.
If it doesn't work after this, I suggest upgrading to IE7 beta or Firefox.

I remember one of my mentors telling me the sign of a great administrator was to make systems work for the majority of users.

Hot Rod,
To a certain extent, I agree, but to comply with XHTML 1.0 Transitional (which is almost exactly like HTML 4.01), we need to make a few changes to the
rendered output. As these changes are usually very minor, it is completely transparent for the most part. With these changes, all the decent compliant
browsers (ie, anything BUT IE 6.0), they all see the same thing and it takes me far less time to code this application. Plus, because I force XHTML,
they can use a much more modern renderer which has no "quirks" mode. This non-quirk renderer is typically a bit faster than the quirks mode browser.
IE 7 will fix the issues I have with IE 6 (appalling CSS support, mid-90's vintage HTML render engine, many more "quirks" than the others,
offensively bad security - you cannot help BUT be infected by spyware if you go anywhere near a pr0n site). So I encourage all IE users to upgrade to
it as soon as it is widely available. Until then, I strongly recommend for safety reasons alone to upgrade to almost ANY other browser.
Andrew

When IE 7 beta is released to the public (not long now!), you can grab it from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/ie7/default.mspx
In the meantime, check out the Technical details. I'm pushing very hard in my bank to force low limits on IE < 7 customers when it comes out to
encourage its adoption. IE 7 should rock your world and bring you close to Firefox 1.0's capabilities.

Thanks Lee.
In other news - if you are wondering where many of the older posts are if you are looking through the forum lists (particularly Members Rides and
General Chit Chat), we have not pruned any of the forums - the new code only shows the last 30 days by default.
If you want to see all posts in a forum, change the "days" setting (which is currently set to 30) to -1 and press "Go" to see them all. It will
take up to 20 times longer - 4 - 8 seconds, which is why we changed the code to restrict it to just 30 days.
thanks,
Andrew
