It is for me, which makes sense, since it's titled "Newest Replies".

Looks much better!

so I really want to try something with our server in an attempt to see if it'll run faster but I'm afraid of blowing something up. Right now our server runs on Windows 2016 and everyone is telling me that the site would operate a lot better if it was on a proper Linux setup. So now I'm wanting to completely wipe to O/S and run Linux and see if that really will make it run faster. I don't entirely know how I'm going to be able to try this experiment unless I get a second server to host the sites while I reload the OS - otherwise the site would be down while I play and that's no bueno. I guess I could transfer the site over to my home server and host everything on my home server temporarily but I don't know how stable that'll really be.

Only other thing I could think of is to order a second server from my host provider and transfer everything over to the 2nd server, then reload the OS, and then transfer everything back.

Having a new server set up now so I can start transferring sites to the other server. Then once everything is successfully running on the other server i'll reformat this one, load the different operating system on it, and transfer everything back.

[meissen]

If you can see this then you're on the temporary server. Let me know how well the site is running.

[meissen]

As of right now I can see that the forum logo isn't showing up - advertisements won't be showing up because I didn't transfer the database. Otherwise the site seems to be running supper zippy.

[81DaytonaPaceCar]

Yay, working!

[meissen]

Fixed the image not showing up - just had to update some pointers. The site seems SUPER fast....

[JoeliusZ28]

this is WAY faster

[meissen]

Funny part is the temporary server we're running on right now is less powerful than the permanent server... and the permanent server costs less because of the black friday deal.

[DynoDave]

It's working for me, and moving along quite nicely, thank you.
