Craig Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 All,Sorry for the prolonged downtime this morning / afternoon.We have been successful in upgrading the forum to the latest version available from Invision.With the latest upgrade you will not just see changes, but see everything run a lot smoother than before (rather than rant about the changes, I let you find them!).The Windows Forum skin will return in the new year once it has been updated, and later on today a new Winter themed skin will be made available.Thats it for now.Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thos Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I find I cannot navigate around. Every change of page and I am required to log in again. It is very disconcerting and time consuming. Will it mend?I see the smilies have just reappeared. Hooray!. Thos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very disconcerting and time consuming. Will it mend?Thos, could you delete your cookies and login again.This board is using a new stronger type of cookie with is now location specific.I believe the only time this will cause problems is when your are sitting behind a proxy server and your IP keeps changing. The symptoms of this will be having to login on every page.Let me know if the above works or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thos Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I have deleted all Neoplanet and Windows forum cookies and have been trying to get back here, logging on many times. I'll send this and try and navigate around.Thos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thos Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Everything seems to be working well for me now, thanks Craig. But what a day. No access this morning and then having to log in at each click and most of the log ins not being registered. I nearly threw in the towel.Thos.

Craig Posted December 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Their seems to be a lack of decent and free seasonal skins for this new version of Invision.I managed to locate this skin, and at a modest price too :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P;3 Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 very slow to load; several "cannot find server" messages here; maybe log out before it goes off line againand no mail notifications again; so ? is it the back up board again?

AlanHo Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Brilliant skin - the best you have evr had by miles.Slow to load though - keep getting messages that the server is too busy and to try later. Even when I can soo from the home page there are only 7 people using the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted December 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 The SQL database is getting hammered, not sure why.I have enabled a critical threshold, so if the load rises above a certain level, you will get a "server busy" message, rather than it doing a nasty looking timeout.

Chris Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Remember we are on a shared server and it would seem we have 51 guests on board that are hammering the server.I'm sure it pass, just hang on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 My first visit to the new board, I was out all day yesterday. I followed the link in Craig's e mail. looks nice. I too noticed that the page was a little slow in opening, but a lot better than it has been on occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
