Announcement! MiFbody Server Update

[meissen]

Alright guys - so here's the deal:

At 5:00pm on Sunday, the server's registry crashed. LimeStoneNetworks was very fast to react to my service ticket and was able to load Windows onto a new hard drive for us. They then made the new hard drive the master and the old hard drive the slave. This allowed me to get all of the files off of the old hard drive and onto the new one.

One bug that we had so far but has been resolved is that the server was 2 hours off. Unfortunately, any posts while it was thinking it was 2 hours ahead results in those posts being posted at 9pm instead of 7pm. By tomorrow it won't even matter.

One known bug that is not resolved so far is that the web server we were previously using was a few versions behind. The new version works better but it's causing some issues with vBulletin. I know that some of the attached pictures [ specifically Ray's pics ] are not showing up (at least for me) at the moment, but I'm still working on the resolution for that.

UPDATE - Discovered the reason why attachments weren't working was due to the attachments directory not being copied over from the old HDD to the new HDD. I'm copying the files over now but due to how large the directory is it will be about 45 minutes.

Would this have anything to do with the site running slowly lately? I don't know if I'm the only one but for some reason it's been painstakingly slow at times lately.
