If you're on a pc, from a cmd prompt run 'ipconfig /flushdns', however if you're reading this message you don't need to do it :)

With the removal of 'forum' from the URL any/all existing links in posts will have to be changed. This could be a lengthy/challenging process.

D4D,
yes you are correct, there is links etc that have to be fixed. It's going to be a little tricky, but if we clean up now, we're right for the future. It also ensures speed is not an issue. After digging into the code last night, i realised how much "rewriting" we were doing on the server with links. It would have easily slowed down the system. So i figured i was getting rid of anything like that, going to make the whole thing run as fast as possible. I can do some searches across the forum as well to remove links etc.. Which i will do this week.

Tapatalk. If there is a setting feature, i am betting that you need to remove the /forum from the URL.. I will need to load tapatalk and have a look at it.. I will do that today..

Yes most of the DNS is clearing now, so the site really should start humming along..

As we continue i will continue to post any updates or changes required.

DNS is playing havoc!
So, business as normal then??  ;D ;D

Great work Justin - there's a huge amount of planning that goes into something like this, then a huge amount of stress when the actual migration happens. From what I can see here it was all handled very professionally and the results speak for themselves. Congrats to you and the rest of the team - a big job but a great result.

If you find yourself in Cairns, the beers are on me!

Cheers!

Hi Everyone,
So been working away behind the scenes.. If you think the forum is fast, it should actually get alot faster.. I've had lots of "admin" stuff behind the server going on... But it's good the speed issues have gone.

Looks like i've solved the Images upload problem.. So attachments should work.

Great news!!! The MySwag Gallery is ONLINE!!! you can access it via http://gallery.myswag.org/
The gotcha, if you have hard coded links or references into the forum from the gallery, you are going to need to manually change the image reference from www.myswag.org/gallery/etc etc with gallery.myswag.org/gallery/etc etc

I'm sort of jumping around on planes this avo, but looks like things are getting back to normal. I'm going to start on a few other fixes i need to put in place... If you find something seriously busted please PM me, and i will add it to my list..

Cheers
Justin
P.S I know tappatalk is broken. I am working on trying to fix that as well, as it is another silly recursive redirect problem..

And that, my friends, is what astronomers describe as a Brown Hole. The forces involved are slightly less than a Black Hole, however the most defining characteristic is definitely the smell.

And here endeth the lesson.
