* I'm posting this here as well as in the announcement to cover all bases *

Over the course of this next week, we will be moving to a new server and some of the account parameters will be changing. Some of this is due in part to the hacking incident, part of it is just due to the growth of the site, and the need for more room than was currently available on our old server.

You may experience disruptions during the next week or so - if so, don't be alarmed. If, however, you see something which even remotely looks like it might be a security issue (hack-ola), please bring it to my attention.

Thanks,

Update on Server Move...

Update - Server Move:

We will be moving the site to a new server this weekend (Oct 5/6) and hopefully no one will experience any disruption. It's possible, however that there may be a small interruption or decline in service for just a day or so.

I'll also be replacing the existing archive software with new, supported software that will allow us to update the site regularly and avoid hacking events like that which just hit us.

Stay tuned...

Server Move Update

Over the weekend, the websites content was replicated onto the new server and the vB installation put in, etc. All of that is fine - the space is working, etc.

The issue right now is that I need to upgrade the vB installation and put in the new archive software - but need to test it first - and I'm having a few issues doing that (the test upgrade is failing)...

So - because I have "work-for-work" to do now - so I am going to have to turn my attention and table this until next weekend - then will go at it again.

Hopefully we'll be fully moved over and turned up by the end of next weekend... This procedure could take another 3 weeks to complete - hopefully not - we'll see...

Thanks,

I'm not trying to add to the work (he said), but if this is the right time, perhaps add a videos section.

With the popularity of the GoPro camera sailing videos in general have increased in number exponentially.

We could corner the market for specifically Ericson videos and maybe encourage more. They need only be links to Youtube and Vimeo, no reason to host them.

Way ahead of you. The new archives will have a place for videos, etc - and we'll have much more drive space as well....

FRIDAY NIGHT!

I'm going to try and upgrade the db this weekend again - and I'll put up an announcement in a sec - but that means I'll be shutting down the site from Saturday evening to Sunday AM (hopefully)...

Update: Sunday Night, Oct 13th

So - Our installation is now up to date, and I am in the process still of moving/populating the archives. So, that process will go on for another week or so...otherwise, we're more or less fully up to date.

One issue: On the front page, on the blogs update, you'll note the code showing in the previews ... this is actually a -bug- (so described by vBulletin) that they're in the process of addressing....so that's a WIP for us...

Other than those two things, we're in good shape - on the new server, and if you're reading this it means that the new DNS is working, etc...

Over the next week I'll populate this (supported) archives hack with our docs, etc.

Stay tuned...
