The site will be unavailable for a short period on time in order to make essentials upgrades to our database server. The improvements will help improve the speed of the site which has suffered over the past few months due to the increase in traffic.

We apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused.
 
Just a quick reminder that the site will be unavailable tonight from 9pm for approx 30mins.
 
FYI The site will be closing in about 15 mins, and we don't anticipate that the upgrade will take any longer than 30 mins.
 
The maintenance work is now complete. If anyone comes across an error messgae or anything out of the ordinary please do let me know. But a quick scoot round the site and everything looks fine. Also let me know if you think the site is faster to browse, particularly the forums.
 
Well I'm not sure what its like for everyone else, but the site certainly feels a lot faster today.
 
That's good news.

However I have been getting reports of pages not loading with a database error, it happens very rarely, but with the amount of traffic we get this soons starts to mount up.

Anway, I'm currently investigating the problem - which if you refresh the page (it then works fine).
 
Oh dear, more problems... we may have to revert back to the old database for now.

The site could be unstable for the next 30 to 60 mins. Apologies for the disruption to the normal service. We may have to close the site for about 15 mins in order to switch back.
 
Well we're now back up.

We've had to revert to the old setup, so although members may find it slightly slower - at least they shouldn't encouter any more problems with the site.

We'll be investigating the problem and looking to upgrade the database server again early next week.
