We're moving
We're moving
Slimline is moving us to a new server. I don't understand all of the details (hopefully he'll post a better explanation here) but I believe it'll stay as coffeeshopdirect.com/forum but will be on a new machine. I've got access to the new machine and I'm busy applying all of the mods (header, chat, countdown, polls, etc.) to the new install. When everything's ready we'll transfer all of the data across.
There will be a short interruption, hopefully only half an hour or so, during which the forum will be locked. I'll let you know about that nearer the time.

Thanks for all the effort you all put in to make the ACD the brilliant website that it is. Time I clicked the golden smiley. Cheers guys.
What a long strange trip it is.

Someone just donated and it showed up on the new servers accounts package.
Quite busy with Lem at the moment getting new server ready.

Re: We're moving
We'll probably be trying to switch over on Monday. The forum is set up on the new server and all of the mods are in place. Peter will copy the data from the old forum and convert it onto the new one. Then he'll point the coffeeshopdirect.com/forum domain at the new location. At least, that's my best understanding.
I've got copies of the mods on my PC and FTP onto both servers at the moment so I can put re-directs, message pages and so on onto wherever anything is pointing at.
The forum will need to be at least locked during the move because otherwise any posts made after the snapshot is taken would get lost.
Thanks for the donation to Peter. He deserves it.

Can we have the option to use the old style, this one is fucking horrible on the eye.

Pop green, nice
I keep getting logged out too and I'm not signing in automatically anymore, just a couple of teething problems, believe me I know how much work is involved in changing servers/boards
Keep up the good work guys
