Hi
We are going to transfer AutoPuzzles to a new server. Therefore AutoPuzzles will be stopped next evening/next morning (to be precise: 32 hours from the time of this post). It will take about 12-14 hours to do the necessary work and then we can continue our favorite activity!

___________

UPDATE: 22 November, 2012. The site has been transferred. There may be some issues, like the search doesn't work properly. We'll do our best to fix these quickly. Please be patient - I am in Central Europe, my brother is in Canada

I'm here. Looks good. Are we completely alive yet?

The new site is up and running, but testing is a bit tricky.

Do we have to do that otherwise the site won't work?
I'm still posting and seeing new posts without having done it, but the Search doesn't work at all..

I think I have done all that and seach still gives me:
Database Error
Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator.

You do not have to modify the hosts file - that was for testing only.
If you the forum, then you are okay.

Please report any issues. We will look into the search soon. And one more thing: if you see a missing post or photo - let me know.

Search is working properly now.

My time is 6 hours fast...

Aaron:

Just go to your settings/preferences page and put in a -6 in the time block. Works fine.

Wow, and mine is finally right!
(always been to lazy to fix it!)

The site now resides in Germany so the forum time reflects GMT +1. Previously the site was in North America, where the time was GMT -6 (or -7).
All preferences were left intact - so if your forum clock is too fast/too slow - follow Bill's advice

And again one more thing. Hosting now costs EUR 25/month (about US$32). This is a dedicated server, not just some disc space at a provider.
We've got 400 Gb of space (currently the AutoPuzzles database is about 14 Gb)

Automuseums.info will be transferred here as well, but it won't effect the speed.

All hail my brother

Excellent work Pal and your brother

We were on a virtual dedicated server before. That said, the conversion appears to have hon smoothly. Very nice work, gentlemen.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #15 on:** November 22, 2012, 12:08:24 PM »

Oh, I see. Sorry, I was under the wrong impression. But yes, it seems the transition went smoothly - thanks for your quick work

Carnut · « **Reply #16 on:** November 23, 2012, 07:54:32 AM »

Brilliant!
All seems to work perfectly.
Well done Pal.

On the front page of the web site, most links connect to the wrong puzzle.

Wendax · « **Reply #18 on:** November 23, 2012, 02:40:25 PM »

The mail notification for received messages does not work, although in my profile
"Notify by email every time you receive a personal message" is set to "Always".

Keep up the good work guys. The stuff yer fightin now is the small stuff. You've got the big part of it done and very quickly, I might add. Great stuff!

Allan L · « **Reply #22 on:** November 24, 2012, 09:11:22 AM »

I agree with Ray, though in a slightly different accent!
By now the size of the data stored on this site must be huge (and it's a useful resource for many of us) which must bring its own problems anyway, let alone when moving the site.

I see that some photos have disappeared during the transfer. Please let me know if you see any issues, we'll try to find them
