Styling Contest Voting Deadline Extended. Server Move Complete

Attila

There are websites (music websites) where there are two tiers of members. The first tier is the Contributors, they have access all the time, to everything. The second tier is the Non-contributor, they only have access when there is room for them. It seems to work.

I like this idea, I am a contributor and was as soon as I found this wonderful site. I plan on contributing many time in the future. Anything to keep this site going. I have just made another, because of these server issues, be it small but a contribution none the less.
Matt keeps the site running and even though it is free, it is up to us the "users" to help fund it.

May I send my sincerest thanks to Matt for all of the hard work that he puts into this site.

This makes sense and it is something we'll look at when we reach the new home. I don't know how much is attributable to the server right now vs load on the server,, but I am concerned at the moment that adding anything additional might take it into a tailspin.

We got a rash of errors around 2PM (pacific) and things had to be restarted again. Hopefully when the domain is shifted things will improve.

I am looking at doing that work this weekend, but it is a big job. In theory it shouldn't be, but it is.

Regards,

Matt

As of Thursday, May 4, 2005 we are on the new server! If everything works out okay, I will be turning voting on this evening.

The server load limit has been removed, so you shouldn't see any SERVER BUSY messages.

The address is currently propagating throughout the Internet. Most everyone should have it within 48 hours. I had it in about 18 hours.

There is a chance if you log in from another location - dialup - home - office, you might see the old bonsaitalk if the address hasn't been updated on that ISP yet.

My ISP (Optonline) found the new server!

It's been like my favorite bar was closed!

Many thanks for all your efforts!

Glad to have you back, Bart.

The Styling Contest voting is active. The deadline was extended to May 9. The Check Your Votes tool will be re-enabled if there are no issues in the next day.

Regards,

Matt

Hi Jay,

Thanks is a load off my mind now. The pages are loading swiftly. I was so used to seeing the pictures and icons "sprinkle in" slowly that I had forgotten how well this forum was supposed to work!

Enjoy,

Matt
