[Archived] Site Updates

[Ste B]

Live matchday chat is now open as we finally got around to paying the bill.

Chat is available on http://www.brfcs.co.uk/mb/index.php?autocom=chatpara

[Ste B]

The new server is installed.

At some point very soon the database will be moved. This will alleviate any performance issues.

Then the rest of the site will follow.

I dont have any more specific dates as yet.

Once its all done, we'll start turning features back on, replying to mails and allowing new registrations

Thanks for what all you administrators etc are doing - keep up the tremendous work you are doing for this site and for the supporters of Blackburn Rovers FC.

[bellamy11]

I think I know when the database will be moved

[Hughesy]

Need any help with anything Ste?

[Wolverine]

Thanks for keeping the site going!

We should organise a fundraiser/booze up...

[hawkiiz]

We should organise a fundraiser

second that.

did this whole fresh-up clean you pockets completely? let us help pay the bill

[AlanK]

Who does pay the bill? I know we had a whip round a few years ago but that must be well spent.

[Ste B]

For information - the site will move the database tonight, so the message board will be unavailable for a short period of time.

[Mike Graham]

many thanks to Ste, Glenn and co.

If you want a modest donation i'll be happy to help

Mike

[Fylde Coast Fan]

I'd love the opportunity to donate a few quid if it'll help keep the site ticking along.

[DeadlyDirk]

Any ideas what time the move is tonight? Will it mean the board is closed all night basically?

In all honesty, I don't know.

Our host is doing this for us. If we were to do it, the board would be down for a hell of a lot longer.

I'm confused, has the 1st move already been made? You said the 1st move was to be made yesterday night, or, did you mean tonight?

Thanks

[Sandiway Blue]

The idea of a fundraiser is a good one,maybe Brownie could help venue wise?

Thanks

And if it's been made, can you turn on the little red boxes again, please. Getting RSI from all this scrolling........

[Hannah]

Trying to get onto the chat page - it told me to install Java so I did but now it is saying error application failed to start or something. Any idea on how to fix it!

Thanks

I'm getting the same problem Hannah, could be down due to the move?

Me too! although if you use firefox there is a neat add-on that extends the page you are on to the next page! Its called auto pager

[Ste B]

The move was made sometime yesterday afternoon. Its likely that this affected the site at the time.

I've attempted to reenable all the old functionality.

A further move of all the non messageboard components will be made soon, but we hope to make this seamless.

Would it be possible to have the other forums open again? Specifically the ICBINF forum.

Thanks.

[mclove]

You can read the topics, think thats all

[Jan]

You made the little red boxes work again

THANK YOU

Much appreciated.
