Styling Contest Voting Deadline Extended. Server Move Complete
UPDATE:
As of Thursday, May 4, 2005 we are on the new server!
VOTING IS BACK ON!
http://forum.bonsaitalk.com/showthread.php?t=11522
Deadline extended to May 9, 2005
I should be turning on the Check your Votes tool within the next day.
UPDATE: WEDS MAY 3, 2005
We are in the process of relocating. The new site should appear automagically in 24-48 hours.
UPDATE: SUN, APR 31, 2005:
There have been a number of issues recently with our hosting provider that will require us to move bonsaiTALK to a new server to avoid continuing problems:
1. We've been unable to send out the April Newsletter inviting the general membership to participate in voting and advise them of pending deadlines
2. There have been some issues recently involving the connections to the database that might affect the integrity of the website. I don't believe there has been any loss or corruption of data as a result of this problem, but we need to be conservative to avoid problems.
In the meantime, I am temporarily suspending voting and deadlines in the bonsaiTALK Styling and Articles contests.
When we get to our new host and things are working more reliably, I will turn voting features back on. The deadlines will be extended once we get to the new server.
In the meantime I have made a backup of the database as of today, and we'll be watching for database problems in the meantime. I have also set maximum on the simultaneous user sessions to 45. This means that some users might be turned away during periods of peak activity.
I'll give you more information as it becomes available. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to ask.
I apologize for this inconvenience. It has been a very difficult period.
Regards,
Matt
