New Bbs Server Coming Soon (tonite)

[Wayne 962]

Hey folks. Got a brand new Dell Pentium 1.1 ghz machine that's been in testing for the past few days. We're going to move the BBS tonite! So keep your eyes out. The speed should be much faster, particularly when the traffic gets high during the middle of the day!

We'll have a new URL for the board too...

Wayne.........Thanks for the hard work. Do you ever sleep ?

[Wayne 962]

I'm about 5-6 hours for the past few days...

Let me know if this messes up after the move, I'm going to take it down in a few minutes...

since you are tweeking and making changes just some things I have noticed:

The links on the front page don't work...like when I click 911 Classifeds it takes me to the main BBS page...

And for the pictures or events...is there any way you can have it so when I am viewing one picture there is an arrow at the bottom that clicks to the next picture in the series instead of having to go back to the thumbnail page and click the next one...back and forth...etc...

Other then that thanks for the hard work to keep the BBS up
...so you can reduce everyone's productivity at work and school, and provide a safe haven from our girlfriend/wife/parents/creditors/parole officers etc...

Not working on the pics thing today - just the BBS.

I'm typing this on the new server!!!

Blazingly Fast...

Let me know if you have any problems!!!

-Wayne

Whoops, simlies need work...

[jriera]

Using AT&T cable modem!!

And I can also access via direct to forums.pelicanparts.com so DNS changes have been propagated (unless is a new domain).

Great job Wayne.

Thanks

[Wayne 962]

I setup the forums.pelicanparts.com domain last week. It's an entirely new server located about 50 miles from the webserver.

Isn't technology great?

I still have one or two bugs to work out with the smilies and the uploaded images...

Clock and date are off. Not a problem for us. But I know it's something you use.

[cary]

I'll shut up ...........LOL

You fixed it already.

Now don't laugh. I'm at 21,600 and its working great. A slight pause when a switch pages. But the pages fill fast. Thanks.

[Wayne 962]

I had a few problems with it shutting down unexpectedly! If you find this happens, send me an email at wayne@pelicanparts.com.;

Thanks,

Wayne

Thanks Wayne. It's going nicely. Down here in the south pacific we notice if anything is slow because it's triple slow by the time any data has dragged it's ass down to NZ.

[Wayne 962]

Yikes, I must be tired! I just put my cell phone number in the post, instead of my email!!!

I have also lowered the Search Function threshold to 10 seconds instead of 30. This was originally done to avoid having many searches tie up the machine. I think that the new processor dedicated to running the BBS alone should be able to handle all the requests...

All this with very little down time...

thanks again!!!
