If anyone gets the jitters if/when the site goes offline, there is an option to see SOME archived pages here:

LOL, highly unlikely Frank

BUT I might rope you into a bit of testing of the new site as it's up and running ... so I'll drop you a PM

No problem - PC & Laptop are warming up

UPDATE: so the website move is actually going a lot easier than planned! If anything it proves that the backup system that we put in place last time we had a server crash and rebuild have been working!

So far I have a copy of the website up and running and it all seems to be functioning correctly from what I can see. It has copied across all the forum posts and uploaded files, and I'm able to post to it including adding upload files, etc. The blogs are working along with the Online Shop. The last steps are to get the mail server setup correctly - it's up and running and sending email from the website, and redirecting email to the correct accounts, but we also have a few POP email accounts that the ROs use and these need to be duplicated and tested.

I am hoping to finish off the last bits sometime this week (when I've finished writing / final edit of Pronto mag!) and then we'll switch over.

In all I'm hoping that the forum will be unavailable for about 2 hours at the most, although the site will stay up, so I'll do this late one night to keep disruption down to a minimum.

Sounds good, just let us know when as I'll be putting up a DD update at the end of this week,

[antonye]

Will do! I also need to update the DD mini-website info bit, but given that I wrote out all the race dates for Pronto the other night I've got all the info I need
