Forums Read-Only 10pm to Midnight Thursday 20th

[Son of a Beach]

There is some site maintenance work planned for 10:00pm to midnight on Thursday the 20th of December (Australian Eastern Summer Time). During this time the forums should be available for browsing, but posting will be disabled.

NB: It will not be possible to submit new topics, posts or private messages during this time.

The posting outage is to make sure that the database is relatively quiescent while the site is being migrated to a new server. Ie, to make sure that we don't lose new posts, topics or PMs during the migration.

We're sorry for the inconvenience.

That's OK. I'll be busy packing most of that evening, anyway.

Thanks Col.

We've done several test runs, and it all looks good in testing. But as for the best laid plans of mice and men... well, we all know that anything can happen.

However, the PhotoComp isn't up yet - again - and as I probably won't be back online until some time next year (assuming we do get a next year), that means I can't vote.

(No sweat, we'll be fine:)

CRAP! I forgot to enter in a category umming and aarghing about which stunning shot to put in, bugger!

[north-north-west]

Good! At least that means I might have a slight chance. Not that I have any stunning shots from November. Been a bit barren that last couple of months.

[Son of a Beach]

Yes, the photo comp polls are being delayed until tomorrow so that we don't lose votes that are placed during the transition.

[Son of a Beach]

We're back! And on the new server now.

Since you started the new server I cant log on automatically anymore. Have to re enter my id and password everytime. Anyone else having similar problems

Could you please try clearing your cookies (for bushwalk.com) and see if that helps? That is the usual resolution to this problem.

(I've been led to believe that if you're using MSIE, you may have to delete all cookies, unless you have a 3rd party tool for managing the cookies.)

Still happening

[Son of a Beach]

I've now changed the cookie name on the server. There may have been some session confusion between the old and new servers. I hope this helps.

(It may also log everybody else out on a once-only basis.)

Thanks Nik
