It's all getting fixed.

@Arite has been pulling late nights after work sorting out a lot of stuff in the background. Genuinely owe quite a lot to him and his hard work, so it's much appreciated. We'll get it fixed for sure!

@Calum I decided to test out some theme's, anything other than slate causes a crash with the blue 503 user overload message appearing. If I refresh the page after changing to a new theme it takes ages for the site to load, but it will eventually load in. Some will flat out not work, slate seems to be the most stable, but I'm actually liking the superhero theme the best. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@NINJA The themes probably get compiled by the server which is pretty hefty processing for a 1GHz processor. Take it easy lol

[NINJA]

@Calum LOL OK will do, I have settled on a theme now so it's all good bud. :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

Swapped out the server this morning, and to reconfigure the switch to point to this new machine. Although pretty sure the switch crapped out when configuring the DHCP for it, so if it becomes inaccessible...it's probably that.

@Calum I have no clue what all that means but - Good Job!!! :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

(BTW you don't have to explain it to us non-network tech guys).

[Calum]

@NINJA No I was just explaining why the forum was offline for like an hour is all. Besides there might be someone here who is techy and interested. And I just wanted you to appreciate how much of a pain it is to keep the forum alive and that I do it all for like 3 members lol

@Calum There must be more than 3 people using this forum surely???

[Calum]

@NINJA There is a few, but it's not a lot.

It gets over a million hits a year though.

[NINJA]

@Calum Over 1 million hits it not too shabby!!!

[Calum]

@NINJA

We do alright to be fair. You can see where there have been outages where I've been working on the server.

@Calum it all looks good to me bud. :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:
