Re: Technology Upgrades Progress
At this point I think I have covered everything that could possibly go wrong in transitioning the forum from the old servers to the new servers, we'll find out for sure next week!
Once I start, the process should go:
- Put forum into maintenance mode
- Create a database snapshot
- Spin up new database and servers in new infrastructure from snapshot
- Move DNS entries from the old load balancer to the new load balancer
- Take down maintenance message on new forum servers
- Delete old server infrastructure
Should be an exciting day.
Once this is done, PAFOA's setup will be all brand-new and shiny with systems to allow us to properly and easily deploy upgrades to the infrastructure and code bases.
Then we will move onto Phase 2 as Emptymag has suggested, but instead of underpants, we will be stealing your reloading supplies. It's still a pain to get powder. Then I will sell it all online, buy a private island and spend my days laughing and sipping mojitos.
I may also begin the process of upgrading vBulletin too.

Ok, just so long as you leave behind some pizza for us.
Re: Technology Upgrades Progress
Forum has been transitioned to new servers and as of yet it appears nothing is on fire.
I wouldn't be surprised if we surface a few bugs so please report any errors you get while using the forum.
Next stop: Upgrading vBulletin over the next couple weeks.
Re: Technology Upgrades Progress
So far all is great. Good job!!! :):):)
Re: Technology Upgrades Progress
Every time this happens and I'm not aware in advance I contemplate going home, putting on my body armor, and setting up the belt fed on a tripod in the living room. I always imagine when they come for us they will take down the forum first. That will be our only warning!!!

Verified, something seems broken with that, possibly cookie related. I have filed a ticket for myself. Thanks streaker.

You don't wear your body armor 24/7 and have the belt fed already set up in the living room? Rookie, you will be the first to fall;)

I tried that button a few times when I joined. It never worked for me so I quit trying to use it.

I'm also seeing some HTML when quoting a post.
