Forum downtime

The forums have been taken offline for archiving and will most likely be down until 3:30pm today. We have around 120,000 messages to move out of the current database and into archives. Once this is done there should be a marked improvement in forum

The forums have been taken offline for archiving and will most likely be down until 3:30pm today. We have around 120,000 messages to move out of the current database and into archives. Once this is done there should be a marked improvement in forum performance, with (hopefully) almost 0 SQL errors.

We've also changed the archiving frequency from once every three months to once a month, which will keep SQL errors to a minimum until we can begin the recode. This recode is scheduled for the 2nd week of August and will take a few months to complete, depending on the amount of new features implemented from the list we've compiled.

Suggestions for new features to be incorporated in the recode can be emailed to myself using the following address: bwebb@atomicmpc.com.au. We'll add them all to the list and pick out the best ones for implementation in August.
