[07-MAR-2016] Current status of BLF upgrade process

Looks great!

FUUUUUTURE!!!

Thanks for all the hard work sb. I’m sure You’ve had an interesting day……

Looks good!

Thank goodness the layout hasn’t changed much. I was afraid the layout would turn into one of those responsive web layouts with lots of wasted whitespace and lots of scrolling to read the content.

Very nice !!

Thank you Sb! :beer:

i love this forum….better than cpf

Thanks for the upgrade!

Thank you so! The layout is a bit weird tho

Sb, I've got to tell you, this is just over the top fantastic. You really nailed it

Thank you!!!

Oh, and you forgot #7 SB, make me one of your moderators.

We’re back! Those who have slower DNS can access BLF at the following temporary URL:
http://budgetlightforum.ddns.net

I guess I have slow DNS as I have to access BLF at the temporary URL. If the temporary URL is temporary, how would I access the site when it is removed? Thanks.

Thanks sb

Thanks for the temp URL

Is the one post a minute but able to edit thing working on the new system?

My signature seems to have not migrated properly :frowning:

Thanks sb for the effort in this marathon upgrade. The things you do for love aye. :slight_smile:

Good to see BLF back online, looks great!

Well done and thanks

The proper URL will start working soon enough, but your DNS-servers will cache the old address for up to 24 hours, sometimes even longer. I’m guessing the temporary address will be up for a couple of days at least :slight_smile:

sb56637: Awesome work mate, I know how horribly wrong upgrades can go sometimes and it’s no fun at all. Thanks!

The new site seems snappier, is that temporary or because of improved inefficiencies of the new software?

The new software is more efficient, although I haven’t had time to optimize its caching settings or the underlying OS performance settings yet. Also we’re still under very light load at the moment, so that probably has something to do with it.
