I have now upgraded the site to a faster server.

Old server:
# Intel Pentium 4 2.8 GHz
# 2 GB RAM
# 160 GB Hard Drive

New server:
# Intel Core 2 DUO 2.8 GHz
# 4 GB RAM
# 500 GB Hard Drive

Software update:

I have now updated the forum and blog software.

Blog attachments can now be edited.
You can now control who can access your Personal Info (Actual Name, Home address, etc) from your <a href="/forums/profile.php?do=privacy">Profile Privacy options.</a>.
You can now subscribe to Social Group threads.

If anything doesn't appear to be working as it should, please report it here.

The server is rented from MegaNetServe (http://www.meganetserve.com/) in the US.

Good to hear. I was starting to think you got a new PC from Dick Smith's to run it :)

It does seem a great deal faster, so you get the thumbs up from this end.

Nice one Spank. I have an almost identical spec server sitting here doing nothing if you or anyone else would like to put it to work?

You give him a free 10Mbit unlimited Internet connection and he might take you up on that.

Funny. I thought it was so slow from here because I was sitting at the other side of the world. Now it goes much faster.

Just curious: why in the US?

It's heaps cheaper and a more professional setup.

A PROBLEM HERE:


Every time I atttach an image and later on I wanna add more images to the same post or to change the pic with another one I get the same error message :


Warning: Missing argument 5 for construct_attachment_add_js(), called in [path]/editpost.php on line 1038 and defined in [path]/includes/functions_editor.php on line 60


Not sure if this is part of the new server or not but I taught I'd post it here coz I dont know much technical stuff about PCs :)

Just noticed that bling's gone back to the old system - i.e. lost the three colours.

I'm surprised someone hasn't had a whinge about it already.

check your options in teh CP, time stuff is usually based on your preferences on the board not the server itself

Clear your internet cache.

No, check your Time Zone settings in your User CP/Edit Options.
