JSM Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I noticed the site was down this morning awhile at least 2 hours. Aside from normal maintenance, can there be way to communicate to members what is going on? Even now, not all of the site appears to be 100%. (Certain Icons are not showing up and speed is down.) I live here and the knowledge and expertise is paramount to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I'm afraid that when the web host makes changes, if they do not have the equipment and the software capable of rerouting to another server box that is real-time backup, you would get a forum that has non-existant pre-switchover new members, and posts from days ago brought up as new as well as newer posts not showing up. usually for forum maintenance there is a warning that comes up. you can be sure that it's not forum maintenance when that doesnt come about. the best way is to switch to a more reliable host... but this site gets tons of traffic so I can expect a down time or two every couple of months. I'm still trying to find the best hosting provider myself... it's hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi303 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 one of the forums I am a member of here in NZ got around that problem by gettign servers and hosting it himself it's now one of the biggest NZ hunting and fishing forums and hosts lots of other sites on his servers.
