Popular Post LUF Admin Posted September 22 Popular Post Share #1 Posted September 22 Advertisement (gone after registration) To ensure that we have enough resources to continue offering the forum quickly and reliably in the future, we will be moving to a new server on Wednesday. I cannot predict the exact time and duration yet (depends on my provider). I will let you know here as soon as I have more details. But everything should be up and running again by Wednesday evening at the latest—and significantly faster. Andreas Update September 23, 2025, 9:39 a.m.: Migration will start tomorrow at 9 a.m. (CEST) and last all day. Most of it will take place in the background (copying a few terabytes), so the forum will only be unavailable for a few minutes (according to the provider). I expect it to take a little longer, but it should remain manageable... 6 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbo Posted September 22 Share #4 Posted September 22 Mildly amusing, I got a server unavailable message when I clicked on the banner link to this thread. I did a refresh and then got to the thread 🤣 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
evikne Posted September 22 Share #5 Posted September 22 Does a new server also mean updated forum software? Or will that come later? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DadDadDaddyo Posted September 23 Share #11 Posted September 23 I never worry about the zeros.... It's the ones. They get stuck going 'round the bends and curves in the fiber. Wishing the best forum on the internet a smooth move! And thanks for being here! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now we are running the latest stable version of the forum software (v 4.7.22). The next big step will be to migration to version 5 which will be a bigger project as I have to check and modify all extensions to the forum.

LocalHero1953 Posted September 23 Share #13 Posted September 23 Does the revival of the 'Favourite images' section depend on the server change or the software update? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUF Admin Posted September 23 Author Share #14 Posted September 23 vor einer Stunde schrieb LocalHero1953: Does the revival of the 'Favourite images' section depend on the server change or the software update? Yes. The problem lies in the configuration of the server. And I didn't want to invest the time to solve this problem with the old server – and then to tackle it again with the new one. After the new server is up and running I'll check if the problem persists. If so I'll try to resolve it over the next weeks. Andreas 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
