General site announcements and changes

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but intermittently lately the site has been loading very slowly. I've just contacted Tech Support and they said that another client who is also on the same server we use suddenly has very high traffic and they're trying to find out who it is and hopefully fix the problem. They offered to move us to another server, but that would mean the site is going to be offline for a few hours again. I said that's not necessary at this point, but it might become that if they can't solve the problem.

I'll keep you updated.

Yeah, it has been occasionally slow.  I just thought it was me.

Re: General site announcements and changes

I'll watch this for another two or three weeks. If it doesn't get better, I'll ask for them to move us. Or else if any of you encounter a lot of time-outs for the site that get really annoying, please let me know and I'll do something sooner.

Re: General site announcements and changes

Quick question: Have you guys been experiencing anymore availability problems with the site lately? I haven't, but I'm not on the site or the board 24/7. Would be cool if they had fixed the problem.

Re: General site announcements and changes

Message from our website service provider:

Dear customer,

on June 25th, between two and five o'clock am (Central European Time), we're going to accomplish maintenance on our network. This could lead to a restricted availability of your websites for a short duration.

There will be made no changes on the servers. Your websites will be available again as soon as the maintenance is completed.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

That means the site (including message board) may be down on June 24 between 8:00 and 11:00 PM EST. (Can you tell they're not native English speakers?) tongue

Re: General site announcements and changes

The message board has recently been converted to a new version and not all funtionality of the old message board might be available. It would be great if you could e-mail me (teejay@chris-marquette.com) or post on the message board if you notice any missing functions or things that look strange or aren't working. Thanks.

You may also need to adjust your message board style in your profile. (Click on "Profile" and "Display".) The old style had to be renamed to "cm com", which may cause the default style "Air" to display for some users.

Otherwise, I think users will notice little change. The Report, Delete, Edit, etc. buttons look a little different and we now also have an RSS feed link (Atom topic feed in the bottom right hand corner). Please note that public write access had to be disabled in the Guestbook section because the new forum software doesn't have a spam protection for guest posting.

Re: General site announcements and changes

I just got an e-mail that our provider is going to move our website to another server on Dec 10, 2010. They say the website will be offline for approx. 4 hours after 2 AM CET that day (meaning 8 PM EST on Dec 09). And they say the new server has the same specs as the old one. If anyone experiences any site issues after the move (e.g. loading speed, etc.), please let me know so that I can get them to fix it.

It doesn't mean that the site will be down the whole time. It might be down for some time during then. If you have something to say, you can always save it in a Word file and post later. smile

It's been kind of a quiet year in 2011, but nonetheless have we had a lot of fun with the Chris-related things we've discovered over the last twelve months. Thanks, everyone, for sticking around on the Message Board, and a warm welcome to the new fans who have found their way here.

As the year comes to a close, we would like to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas time and a Happy New Year. May 2012 bring lots of new project for Chris and all the things that anyone can wish for!

Re: General site announcements and changes

Thanks, guys!  It's been quiet (except for the reappearance of you-know-who last spring/summer), but good year on the site.  I don't post as much as I used to, but I check in every day.  I appreciate having a place to check out all the news.  I hope everyone has a happy and safe Christmas and a happy and prosperous 2012.  I found a great job this year and I hope Christmas 2012 finds Anne in her dream job.  If anyone is traveling during the holidays, please be careful.  See you all in 2012!

LOL. Nope. Just seeing my family. I'm actually working Dec 27 and 28. And then back to work on Jan 02. Not sure when my next vacation will be. Probably in spring some time, visiting Steffi in Copenhagen. Or maybe even flying to New York, if that works out.
