Server Upgrade / Migration.

Ten-Tenths is moving again folks!

We recently spent €2,400 (£1,600/$3,100/AU$4,100) on the purchase of a new Dell 2950 server for the site, this is one of the latest machines on the market and represents some fairly extensive computing power (if anyone wants the full specs of the machine then let me know) The funding for this server came partly from money left over from the advertising on Tenths and partly from Terri (EvilPumpkin) and I.

As part of the migration we have to move the Tenths database and website over to the new server.

Unfortunately this will involve "outage" periods where the site will be unavailable, we are hoping to keep these outages to a minimum and intend to complete the work during the quiet traffic periods.

So, if you get a message that the site is down or unavailable then don't worry, it should only be temporary and try again in half an hour.

We will just move to the "Parc" and party 'till it's back up.

I assumed the site was running on the new server because Ten-Tenths.com was available again. In the mean time the work is done so I say it again:

There may be a few small outages and things like adverts vanishing and re-appearing as we tweak the system a little but the major work is now complete.

Or, as Lewis Carroll wrote in 1871:

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

For the complete verse, click HERE .

Just kidding. Keep up the good work.

Hi all,

As you have no doubt noticed, we've been suffering from slow downs and outages all day today (21/08/06)

Both Grant and I are in work at the moment, which is preventing us from doing anything more than a "spit and chewing gum" fix to try to keep the forum up.

As soon as we get home, we'll try to resolve the issues and stabilise the site. The wonders of modern technology!

Please bear with us and we will try to resume normal (and improved) service as soon as possible.

Thanks,

EP

These are good news! Ten-tenths even better! (I didn't believe it was possible )

I had problems accessing earlier, but I assumed it was because the server change.

Well we may have to give our hosting company a good spanking - they did some reconfiguration without letting us know and that was the source of today's problems.

Grant has just been down to the hosting company and we seem to be working ok now - we'll be closely monitoring to ensure that the problems don't recur.

Thanks for bearing with us - these kind of changes are never without their teething problems, but the results are usually worth it!

It is running really quickly and quietly today, more like an R10 than a F248.

Does a new server also mean improved possibilities for attachments? I would love to post more pics here, but the imageshack facilities are not what I particularly like.

All users can post attachments in the Arts & Photography forum. Subscribers can use attachments in most forums at the moment. There are currently no plans to extend this to non-subscribers.

So.... here we go folks.

[Sales Mode]
Attachments are an excellent way of showing off pictures, here on Ten-Tenths we have rather large "thumbnails" making it easy to see them rather than the small thumbnails that many online image hosts have.

MSRS Rescue Unit 1

As you can see, they can also be used within the text of a post as well as appearing in a row at the bottom. So you can place your attachments where they are relevant within your post, this can also be done with the img tag but what's easier? Uploading to something like imageshack, getting the and remembering the URLs for the thumbnail and the large image or attaching them directly to a post and having the thumbnail automatic.

Should have seen what it did to his knee!!

For anyone that likes to show off their pictures this should be worth the £10 a year subscription, as well as all the other benefits.

[End Of Sales Mode]

We now return you to the normal madness!

I don't like that sentence, it is not that I want to "show off", but I just like to show what people might find interesting, and related to a topic and not just in the "art and photography" section.

If this will cost me 10 pounds, then I think you are doing no favours to your members, also to those who did pay that amount, albeit for "other advantages"
