Well done, people. Absolutely painless for me here in the UK. Does everyone agree that it seems about ten times more snappy now?

 

There is something admins might want to note though, regarding topic notifications. From my mail server logs:

 

00000002 00000000 27/10/2007 08:00:19 Sent ODMR to smtp.mailkeep.net. Response: 250 ok switching to client mode

00000001 00000002 27/10/2007 08:00:23 SMTP Client Disconnected (216.46.27.155): No RCPT TO

 

As you might see, this was received via my backup mail server. I'm waiting to receive a notification message directly, and if the problem persists I'll let you know.

Edit: Ah, just received one even as I posted the above reply:

 

00001000 00000000 27/10/2007 13:41:35 SMTP: (Accept) Receiving connection from 69.65.103.214

00000001 0000000C 27/10/2007 13:41:40 SMTP Client Disconnected (69.65.103.214): No RCPT TO

 

So it does persist.

Thanks y'all for the good job done!!! :)

It's snappy, for sure. But I noted a problem too.

I received a "new message" that I had not only received a day earlier but responded to. All subsequent communications apparently went into cyber limbo. So I'm guessing any undelivered messages out there for people at the time of the switch went poof. The "new message" was from the day before yesterday, so it's possible much of yesterday's PM traffic is missing.

 

Might want to tell people using the Marketplace to resend. Otherwise those "first to responds" are going to be skewed.

I suppose I should be thankful that FPN was down for most of the evening. I actually spent some time conversing with family members, rather than having my nose buried in the forum.

 

It really is good to take a break now and again, even though I don't want to at all.

 

Thank you, admins, for your thankless efforts, which are not thankless to me. My wife used to be an admin on a non-FPN board, and I know how much time it can take, if you do not watch it very carefully.

I shall go now, and fill a pen to each admin, and place them on the east side of my desk.

Thanks for the work.

Bloody Hell !!!

 

Thanks for the reminder Donnie - I've just remembered those people in the other room

Thanks to all involved. I got on this morning with no problem at around 6 am in Boston. However, when I tried later on around 10 am, I could not get on at all. Nothing, nada. Firefox, Safari, IE could all not find the server. I tried all the computers in the house (3). This has happened occasionally in the past, but I'd sort of hoped the switch-over would change that. In any case, I'm on now and glad to be on again. Well done, everyone! (I only forgot twice during the evening and tried to check in.)
