Server upgrade in progress

[LayItLow]

Over the next several days we'll be switching the site to a much more powerful server that should easily handle the extra traffic LayItLow.com has been receiving lately.

There may be some intermittent downtime during this transition.

Thanks for your patience!

Some features of the forum may be turned off during this upgrade. Currently, new avatar uploads may be temporarily unavailable.

[LayItLow]

Transferring databases. The forums are likely to be offline for a few hours later tonight.

[LayItLow]

The forums will be going offline at midnight (pacific time) and will likely not be back up and running until early morning.

[LayItLow]

The forums database has been moved to the new server. The site may run slowly and you may encounter other issues as the server is in the process of being optimized. Avatar uploads are still turned off for the moment.

PM's are down. It should be fixed soon.

[LayItLow]

Sending or replying to Private Messages is still broken. The problem is being worked on.

New member registrations are offline until the server upgrade is completed.

[LayItLow]

PM's are finally working again.

[LayItLow]

Just a quick list of what still needs to happen before the site is back up and running 100% on the new server:

• Fix PM issue
• DNS propagation
• Optimize web and sql server
• Enable new member registrations
• Enable avatar uploading

Messing with the database... the forums will be running slowly for the next hour or so.

[LayItLow]

Reconfiguring the web server. Expect some delays.

[LayItLow]

Avatar uploading should be available again.

The server upgrade is mostly complete!
