TiBB is moving to a new server [Update: forum will be offline for a while from 12:00]

[James]

We are moving to a new server very soon. :thumbs:

When it happens the forum I might put the forum offline for a while.

And also there is sometimes a delay before you actually see the forum running on the new server whne you go to thisisbigbrother.com/forums . That can take up to 24 hours.

I realise that Celeb BB is starting on the 3rd January, so hope it won't interrupt the start.

[Saph]

yay

[MeMyselfAndI]

[Benjamin]

Does this mean we will have any new features? :amazed:

What does a new server actually do?

[Jords]

Riveting!

[T*]

OMFG :amazed:
New year, new forum :dazzler:

[Firewire]

omg the last server move was interesting because we got a brand new interface... the forum changed dramatically. wonder what this one will bring!

[T*]

Will I lose my shell avatar and signature?

You most likely won't. :thumbs: :hugesmile:

[T*]

*crosses fingers and hopes for those cool vanilla servers*

[Samm]

Will it still have the same address and stuff

-backs bags-

[Josy]

Will it still have the same address and stuff

-backs bags-

Yes, James will just direct the domain name to the new server.

[Gstar]

what's a server?

[T*]

Will we still have our old posts?

[Benjamin]

can we leave a few members behind

:joker:

We actually did with the last move, not on purpose, they just never came back to TiBB after the move.

[Ramsay]

Where's my god damn sweater?

[Josy]

Will we still have our old posts?

Yes everything will just be the same :laugh:

[T*]

what's a server?

Think imgur but instead of hosting pictures it hosts a website :thumbs:

[Samm]

Will we still have avi and sig, I don't want to turn out like the DS people.

[Benjamin]

Does anyone still have screenshots of what this places looked like before the last move?

[MeMyselfAndI]

I got stuck on the last server last time :(

[Vanessa]

*Packs bags*. :hugesmile:

[AnnieK]

Oooh...interesting.

[AnnieK]

That sounded far more sarcastic than I meant!

[T*]

Does anyone still have screenshots of what this places looked like before the last move?
Check my tibb through the ages thread from a while back, I put up live links to what it used to be like and you can click everything.

[Benjamin]

Have you got a link to that :laugh:

[T*]

Have you got a link to that :laugh:

God the site has gone through so much in it's time.

[mizzy25]

I hope the move goes ok Il still be here hopefully.

[AnnieK]

When is this happening then?

[Marc]

there would be pandemonium

[Marc]

It's like Sharon Osbourne's face :(

[joeysteele]

If tibb is likely to be offline for a time will we hopefully get at least a day or two's notice to make sure I and others can have the footie predictions in place for the premier league prediction game in case the changeover coincides with any match day/s.

[reece(:]

There would be mass meltdowns (me being one of them)

What does a new server actually do?

It will help the forum run faster and stop it going down as much, thats if they are moving to a better server. :joker:

[Novo]

i just had an image of Locke, Leon, Shaun, Drew, Lee, Lemonjam, Mock, Harry and The Turtle all squashed up in the back of a van with James driving it towards to the new Server with the Goldenboy Mod mtvn in the passenger seat

[BigSister]

ooh good point joey but its fa cup this week so things should be ok as Im assuming its going to be sometime this weekend/week

[michael21]

are we there yet

[jackc1806]

Woo!

[reece(:]

Does that mean the forum will no longer be vBulletin or w.e. and will look different?

[michael21]

Does that mean the forum will no longer be vBulletin or w.e. and will look different?

your have to wait and see :dance::dance::dance:

[jackc1806]

Will it be faster :hmph:

[Josy]

Jeezo.

The forum will be exactly the same as it is now, there will be no actual physical change that you can see it's just a new server.

[Josy]

Will it be faster :hmph:

Not sure about that, James will know.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Lmao if its slower

[James]

Okay, I'm going to put the forum offline at 12:00 pm while I do another transfer. Just to ensure some consistency between the two.

It might be offline for a couple of hours.

When it comes back you'll still probably see the old server, it can take up to a day to be able to see the new server when you type thisisbigbrother.com into your browser.

So some posts might get stuck here, but I can deal with that later.

[Samm]

One hour left till I go back to normal life.

[Pete.]

One hour left till I go back to normal life.

:(

[T*]

NOOOOO I just woke up D:

[T*]

At least it's going offline for a cool and exciting reason :amazed:

[fingers]

No doubt that is the reason it has been running like an ant through treacle all morning.

[Pete.]

Goodbye for a bit :wavey::wavey::wavey::wavey::wavey:

Bye Tibb x

[Pete.]

:suspect:

[Vanessa]

Why is my internet so slow? :bawling:

[Samm]

Back!!

[James]

Okay, this is the site running on the new server.

A lot of people won't see this yet, they are still looking at the old site. Give it a few hours.

[Vanessa]

We're back! Helloooooooooooo! :xyxwave:

[MTVN]

I have made it

[Samm]

Can anyone see the new one yet.

[Vanessa]

[jackc1806]

Mine looks the same but it says I am viewing the new server

[Scarlett.]

Its just the same forum, I deleted my browsers history because I kept alternating between the two, it was annoying. It all looks exactly the same, except for a big notice saying its the new forum on the front page.

[T*]

Mine looks the same but it says I am viewing the new server

It does for everyone, but, does it say VBulletin at the bottom!?

I said in the other thread and in here that you will see the notice when you are on the new server, you might even have clicked the notice away without realising, not you exactly but some could have.

There is nothing that can be done apart from emptying your browser cache (deleting temporary internet files for those that don't know) and even then that might not work anyway also some ISP's will be slower than others to pick up the change.
