We'll be upgrading our server from a Pentium 4 to a new 8 core Xeon system during the next 72 hours.
This will give us more room and a boost in speed.
I'm not predicting any down time, but wanted to give a heads up so all know what was taking place in case you see smoke somewhere :laf:
As a reminder if you are a client of Fins and Fur Hosting, your site will be placed on the new server also.
Ok Jimbo
Pentium 4 to a new 8 core Xeon system :confused: :confused: :shrug:
X12-Prolifion Ion Gas Chambered blah blah blah geek. :hahaha:
Just kiddin Jimbo......Thanks for making this place available as my home away from home. :yoyo:
Will these changes speed up my DOS machine? :wink:

Bill, its kinda like moving up from a .22lr to a 22-250. :biggrin:
Semp
Yeah, what Semp said :eyebrow:
Migration to the new server will begin around midnight CST, so you all get to bed early. :wink:
Oh, No !!! Mr. Jim's tweaking again :rolleye: :sad3:
Better break out the duct tape :laf:
:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
make it so numba one........... :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:All greek to me Jimbo.
Head count!! :laf: is everyone accounted for?
So far I'm not seeing anything that may be amuck from the migration. You should notice a very significant change in speed though. The site should respond much quicker for you.
If anyone see's anything that appears to be out of place, missing or broken, gimme a hoot.
If your on Fins and Fur Web Hosting you should look your sites over to make sure everything is intact. About the only thing I can predict happening is some older style scripts not liking the new server, but there shouldn't be many of those if any at all.
(edit) I'm noticing the SHOUT box is a little jigged. I'll play with that tonight when I get home from work :sneer:
Hello!!
Hello!!!!!
HELLOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:confused:
Seems the lights are on but no ones home. :shrug:
:laf: :laf:
Yep, the site is definitely faster.
Good job, Jim!! :congrats:
Semp
Noticeable difference here.
Jerry
My old western font stills works! :biggrin:
We have a "shout" box? :confused: What in tarnation for? :shrug:
Much faster a this end as well. :bowingsmilie: Now if I could find a program to speed myself up I'd be in business :roflmao:
Did someone slip a Viagra in my Diet Coke or did everythign just turn blue?
Brad
?? Seriously Brad?
My screen is blue too. Sumthin happened. :wo:
Brad,
I must have mistakenly taken a swig of your coke, mine is blue too.
Bob
Powder blue to boot!! :puke:
Mine looks fine :biggrin:
Most likely what is happening is the site is still propagating through the network for some of you, based on your locations. It's kind of like buying a new domain name. You can't go purchase www.LookAtMe.com and then type it in and expect to see a place holder come up. It takes time for the new domain name to work it's way across the country via routers and networks, etc.
The best way to describe that is.... If you go buy a can of carb cleaner and pour it into your gas tank, the carburetor isn't instantly cleaned. It takes a while for it to make it's way through the lines so that it can work.
Now your saying to yourself, "yeah but this domain has been up for a while why's it creeping through the veins of the web NOW?"
Well.....the site has been up for a while yes, but with the new server we got a new IP address. Which means that every time you click to come here, the web expects us to be at that IP address, and so does your computer, thanks to it's dns cache.
Those of you seeing no colors, or funky colors, are most likely in the middle of the propagation duration. Meaning your seeing part of us from the old IP address and part of us from the new one. It's a waiting game. Deleting your cookies and cache will help a little.
But keep the reports coming, we can monitor the propagation by area if you all keep us posted as to what your seeing. If your neighbor sees everything normal on the site, then you should to.
I could not get on at 5 pm but sent an email and checked it at 7 pm and I can get on now but someone pured carb cleaner in Jim PC and it turned my screen blue! :innocentwhistle: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
Way faster though
It's baby blue for me too. :sad:
But the speed is great :highclap:
I wasn't able to get on today at noon.
And I ain't got no clue who ate the cookies and stole the cash? :shrug: :wo: Whatcha talkin about Jim?
Brian
:roflmao: :roflmao: How can I not love you guys :nono: No seriously...HOW?!
NOT up close?................ :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :hahaha: :roflmao:
Baby blue screen here too... at least it ain't PINK :laf:
Looks pretty...er... looking pretty :biggrin:
dont tempt him chet.
I believe it is faster but we got dsl here at home and t1 at work so everything is fast to me. damn near blinded me when I clicked on my favorites I am used to the black one then this bright thing pops up.
and I think if I drink two more wee heavys 10% beer I might be seeing differnt colors.
It'll go back to the original template colors once it's finished propagating :wink:
Jim,
I'm trying to post a new topic uner Birds about my turkey experience on Monday. I keep getting a 404 error??
Jim
Trying to post a picture Frogman?

Yes on the photos. Here is the error message:

Jim,
I just deleted all cookies and re signed onto the forum and tried to post again. Got the same error??
Yeah...it's a waiting game at this point for the new server and IP address to finish propagating. (Making it's way through the web)
I made a post about all this further up in this topic. :wink:
If this Forum keeps propagating won't we have a bunch of little FnF Forums here?? :shrug:
:nono: :nono:
I think he means pooping. :innocentwhistle: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
Jim,
Thanks for all your efforts trying to make the site better. :congrats: I will try my post again later.
