I agree, good work with this site Joe.
I am a member of other sites and find this one to be the most personable.
Thank you

The move should begin this evening. I will keep you all infomed as best I can but many of you may have difficulty accessing the site over the next few days.
I am attempting to minimise the disruption but unfortunately there's only so much I can do.
Please bear with me! :eek:

...bear with me! :eek:
The beauty of the English language is that most things can be intentionally misinterpreted.
So... No worries Joe. Good idea. I'm glad to hear that the bear is with you. That way I know that it's not roaming around the stock market messing about with my investments... :D
OK, poor attempt at humour. Think I got the wrong type of bear... :p: Seriously, good work with the site Joe and I hope the change of host all goes well. :)

Well didn't this host move turn into an unmittigated disaster? :banghead:
A day and a half of downtime wasn't exactly what I had in mind and I apologise to everyone! I'm just glad this happened on a weekend when things are a little slower around here.
Anyway, we're now set up on the new host so hopefully things will be much better from this point on.
I have my both fingers and toes crossed.

After a couple of sleepless nights, more hair pulling and endless dramas I think we have everything back the way it was.
Have we lost any members, posts or attachments?
I'm slightly delirious at the moment from lack of sleep so if everyone could just wander around the forums a bit and if you see anything unusual or come across any errors please report them to me in this thread. Thanks!
Now I'm going to go and sleep for a day or two.
:goodnight

After a brief look around it seems we may have lost a few members and some attachments.
If you notice an attachment of yours is missing then track it down, email it to me an I will re-insert it into the post.
Just let me know any problems you encounter.

Well done Joe Blow on getting it back online! I had a server crash myself friday afternoon and it took me 3 hours to get it back online, what you went through sounds much worse!!!
Congrats on getting it back..everything seems fine to me!

I can't remember where I heard about "the law of unintended consequences", and it's not entirely applicable to your dramas here, but made me think of it anyway LOL.
But a couple of days downtime is an insignificant interruption for what has turned into an excellent forum.
Cheers

Well done, Joe.
No worries about the down time. The best laid plans of mice and men and all that... :D

Sorry about that guys, the host had to spend half an hour tweaking the server. :rolleyes:
Just some teething problems. Nothing to worry about. :D
P.S. Thanks for all your words of support!

Looking great now, glad it was on a weekend as you mentioned. Let's hope these guys are better than the last lot. Hope those missing members come back. Thanks for the effort Joe and for the messages you had up while it was down.

Sorry everyone, just a few more teething problems to deal with.
It always takes a few days to fully settle into a new host. Little things need to be tweaked and adjusted until we get everything optimised.
Should be smooth sailing from here on in.

Is your jaw getting tired Joe ;) Hope everything settles down soon and you can concentrate fully on your share portfolio.
