Ohhhh, What a relief. 
I can now sneak peeks @ Myswag between other things and not get in to trouble with the wife for spending "HOURS on that bloody forum!!"
Smooth
Clean
A pleasure to use.

Glad I used PayPal - did you??

Uh Oh
If found a problem with the new server

It is running so fast and smooth it it now so easy to add comments and posts, the log count is going to sky-rocket.
I mean to say, 3 pages of unread comments since I last looked 5 hours ago!!.
Must not be just me, others obviously have noticed too.

It is just so easy an quick to post now

Love IT

Glad everyone is liking the new server.
I've got quite a bit of "behind the scenes" stuff to still do. But we are probably about 80% of the way there.
My list is getting small, so if you find something not working, please send me a PM and i will look into it  (firefox) or ex jderry.au

Also going to get a few other mod options that brett wanted to setup running also.

Just FYI....
DNS is playing havoc! So really if you have old DNS cache pointing to the server it will cause mess everywhere. This is going to take at least 12 hours for DNS to resolve cleanly. Which means i have to make some changes.

The good news is we are on the new server and running! And it seems very fast.

Please everyone just bare with me, whilst DNS and server updates go through overnight. This is a little tricky, but things will look like they are broken, please don't try to fix them, as i am aware of most issues.. (all DNS related  ???)

Cheers
Justin

May I just say - Good job.. DNS sucks with us as well especially when you are foresting your servers - because they did, I don't know why. I just run the joint ;D

Server is a rocket ship. I always thought the 3G network near my work was a terrible connection for web surfing on my phone until Myswag switched to this server.......now I know all the other web sites I frequent must have slower servers, my 3g connection at work flys on here!

Hi guys,
For those that are having trouble with being logged out, have you in your browser settings deleted the url and user name/password from the cache/cookies list and started again from scratch. Just a thought.
I use FireFox, Tool/Options/security/Saved Passwords/Show Passwords.
A message will pop up asking do you want to show passwords, Click yes.
Scroll through the list and remove all entries to do with MySwag.
Now close FireFox, reopen and go to Myswag, enter your details again, FireFox will ask to remember, do this.
You should be logged in each time you visit.
Not to sure about the steps for other browser, but it would be pretty much the same, just different names for the steps out lined above.
Hope this helps.
 :cheers:

For those having logon problems, i think what Hairs recommended is definately the way to go. I'm logged onto permantely about 6 different browsers and my ipad. Works perfect.
Between the old/new there was substanial change in cookies and credential handling. My suggestion is delete all your offline data or at least just myswag including passwords/cookies etc and then close the browser and logon again.
Cookies (which keep you logged in) have changed their name etc from the old site. It's probably getting confused..

jclures, Send me a PM on the gallery if you want some help.. Apologies for the change in the gallery setup.

For the techies i'll explain why i made this decision to change...
What you didn't see behind the scenes of web pages was the quantity of mod rewrite rules. (they were everywhere!) I counted on a 2nd level page more then 380 rewrite's occuring on the gallery/URL/web page which was just putting insane amount of undue stress on the server.. To run the gallery and forum on the 1 virtual server these rewrite rules where needed.
As we were going for speed and a bit better security, the goal was to get rid of rewrite rules as much as possible. They are extremely limited now.. Actually i don't think the forum uses them at all.

So although there has been a few design/architecture changes in the forum, rest assured they've been done to speed up the site as fast as we possibly can. The server we are on (just for FYI, is a quad core Xeon processor (single) with 4gb of ram and SAS drives. It's a small DELL machine probably worth new about 4K...) Coupled with the flexibility now of our own host and the possibility to do a number of great little things like getting rid of rewrites etc this changes everything!

Glad everyone is enjoying, don't forget if you're stuck or found weirdness let me know.
Cheers
Justin

Hi Bobnrob,
So it seems with the upgrade on SMF (patch i did) this has changed i think from a security standpoint.
The index page login no longer offers the "stay logged in option.  However...  ;D

Go to http://www.myswag.org/index.php?action=login (or just click the Login option on the index page) and use that login, and there is the option to stay always logged on.
You can change the period of time you stay logged in as well.

Hope that fixes your problem.
Cheers

Everyone,

Good news the Forum Media Gallery is fixed  :cheers:
It was permissions and missing files?? Anyhow just did a test upload into it, and it failed last night, but i just tried after some changes and it is working now :)

So that section should be good to go..
Looks like nearly everything fixed on the forum :).. Now onto speed, email, ftp, dns and other stuff to finish :)...

This is my first run on the forum with a decent internet connection as I've been at work so stuck with 3G off the laptop for the last week.

 :cup: :cup: :cup:

I'm sure we have lost some members due to the past few months of poor site performance.  :'(

So Myswaggers if you visit some of the other sites from time to time, start spreading the word that www.myswag.org is once again the best place to be on the WWW!
