Is just me or did the site lose a day of posts ?? [ADMIN] See http://www.motoringalliance.com/forums/site-feedback/25803-lost-day-2.html#post338666 for the cause of the issue.
Just previous I had sent a link to a page for a friend to enjoy. Got a message back from him this morning saying there was nothing there.
Is anyone else getting slow response time when posting? I post something and it takes like 30 seconds before it quits buffering.
All y'all, don't fret. This is not unlike the time the supermarket moved everything around and I voiced a complaint about old people and change. The guy told me not to worry, they wouldn't do it again for maybe another 20 years and I'd be dead by then.
Here is what happened. The site was scheduled to be moved to a new server at 10PM Central on the 28th. Files and databases were copied over to the new server. That took longer than the allotted window. This moves us to Friday night for the rest of the move. Friday night they did the IP address switch for the servers without syncing the latest from the old server. By the time I saw this it was too late. Weaving in the few 100 posts would have been a nightmare, time consuming and frankly, not worth the effort.
