Due to problems with the database yesterday, I have had to move the forum to a new server. At the moment the search does not work. I will attempt to fix that later today.

I only moved servers a few months ago. The problem is, even if you buy a VPS from the same company that you already have one with, it does not mean it will behave the same way. I think I got a not so good one, which can happen. I do have another 3 servers, and moved this site to one of them. Seems to be running OK, and no errors in the database.

The search is currently rebuilding, but will likely take a few hours.

Just managed to get back on the Forum Keith, sorry to hear you've had problems also thank you for your effort to get things back to normal, much appreciated!

Well done! There seemed to be a few glitches showing up plus lots of "server busy" messages.

Sorry Fred, that may be down to me hogging the forum with all my replies :biggrin:

Probably busy because I was rebuilding the search index, which had to process 1 mill+ posts. Everything should be OK now. If not, let me know. I still need to run a few checks my end.
