Hi All,
As promised I have been working on a move to a new server and also to a new system. The first step in this journey was moving us to a new server with the same host. This server is located in Perth, so there may be a few micro seconds of latency but it shouldn't be too bad.
We are now running on a completely new style of server setup, I have done away with back-end control panels and we are coming to you fairly raw from a server with a very lightweight setup. It is a massive learning experience for me and I will be fine tuning things over the "summer" break.
For now though we are there and DNS should start resolving pretty soon for everyone.
Additionally I will now start the migration process to the new forum software. With this migration we will have a new look and feel for the site and the way we have traditionally done things in the past will change completely. We will now be running everything from the forum and not from wordpress and the forum. This is going to be both good and bad for us and there will be some growing pains. I hope to have the forum at least running within the next few weeks and will move to the new front-end sometime just after that.
I then need to reprogram the footy tipping comps and player of the year plugins before then, but this is all stuff I have time aside for.
The first major hurdle is over, it took me many sleepless nights to sort out, but that is one headache gone. Next will be the forums, so stay tuned.
