Welcome to the new server!!

[LowWaterMark]

If you are seeing this message then you have arrived at the new server hosting the Wilders Security Forums. The migration is now complete and it took about an hour and a half.

Let us know in this thread how things are working for you here.

[rodsoto]

Things are working beautifully from aussie land, well done guys!

Firefox kept renewing the old page. I had no trouble getting here since I had a tab open before the change began.

Edited to say that everywhere I go on this site, I get pages dated 4:53PM today which was the last time I was on the site before the change which started at 7:00PM my time. Firefox is driving me nuts here! I have to refresh over and over and over before I might get a current page.

The site seems much faster. :) :) (and that is quite an accomplishment considering that there is something drastically wrong with my speed this evening ....it is about 1/3 rd of what it should be).

[Jason_DiamondCS]

Good work, the new site is a lot faster than it was before. :)

Woke up, opened Firefox (home page set to Wilders) Got right in, no problem. ;D

[subratam]

too fast.... tried with I.E, FireFox and Opera... its really going smooth :)
Nice work to all those are behind this :)

[dangitall]

Congrats to one and all! I more than halfway expected to get home this morning and not be able to get my first Wilders fix of the day! Proven wrong once again --- and glad of it!

;D

[MikeBCda]

Hi - just arrived, got in nice and smooth without even any apparent re-direction, so it looks like any DNS problems are already cleared, at least from here.

[Vietnam Vet]

How is it working? Well, I will tell you how it is working! Had kind of forgotten about the server change, just walked right in and made myself at home. First thing I see is this thread and the fog begins to clear. I would say that was pretty seamless. Increase in speed is already obvious from the first click. Grade=A+. GREAT JOB.

[Cochise]

Straight on..........Spot on.......Great job to all concerned.

[waya]

OK from Canada. Yes its faster!

[Pretender]

No problems here. Expected problems and had several notes jotted down just in case of the expected which never happened. Murphy's Law does not apply!

Sacrilege! Heresy! Keep thinking that and ... and ... well, who knows what might happen! ;D

[greyfox]

No problems, everything is working just fine. :)

[Unregistered]

Just logged in but came back to the 'unregistered' screen. What the heck!

Good to have you back, I was getting withdrawal symptoms from being unable to access the Security Updates thread.

NICK ADSL UK et al, we paranoiacs need our regular fix!

[LowWaterMark]

Anyone having access problems should do a full clean removal of any/all wilderssecurity related cookies... The cookie path is a bit different and might be a problem.

Recommendation is to close all browser sessions. Delete all cookies with "wilderssecurity" in their name. Clear browser cache. Open a new browser session and login in here fresh.

[Slovak]

Working and looking excellent on my side! Good job guys ;D

[ronjor]

Very nice! Very fast on Firefox.
Great job! :D

Hi Paul, LWM and all other staff-members!

Thanks for the great job, your forum was already "one of the the best there is", but since today it is "the best there is"!!!!!

Everything works great and without any serious problems, only a correction of the User CP and that was all.

Best regards,

Smokey

[dangitall]

Aaaahhhh ... time to kick back, take the shoes off and open a bottle of liquid refreshment! Wilders is back up! :)

(Gonna miss those karma cookies, though. :'( )

Only one glitch: you lost all my PMs !!!!! Or, was that expected and I just didn't know about it? It reads:

Private Messages: Unread 0, Total 0.

{Lost about 26 PMs in inbox, and roughly that number in outbox}

No glitch, Randy: it has been announced the PM's would not be part of the conversion :)

Mine were lost also and I don't recall any warning that we should save them before the conversion so I suspect this wasn't anticipated. Not everything goes perfect and as expected in a conversion like this. Board looks great though now doesn't it?

Sure is different to now be able to hover the mouse over the thread and in IE read practically the entire last post if it is not long. Firefox hover only shows a few wordsbut even that is kinda neat.

Edit: I see Paul says there were warnings. I guess I just didn't see them. Anyhow, everything else is fantastic!!!

I dunno about those 'hover pop-ups'; I'm finding them more than a bit distracting. Is there any way I can turn them off? I looked in UserCP, but found nothing on this.

Comes with the package - sorry to hear you don't like it.

[dangitall]

I'm sure I'll get used to it, Paul. It's just that I'm finding it distracting while I'm trying to get caught up while also dealing with a new environment.

Great job in getting back up and running, by the way. Everything looks good!

[nadirah]

EXCELLENT job on the server conversion! the website's interface now looks fresher and cleaner too. :D

Although we did have some more time, most of us have to get familiar with the new board software - a matter of time really :)

Thanks for the compliment. Credits are due to LWM and Jason for this tremendous job well done 8)

Hi, Paul Wilders, Mods and All.

What can I say other than AWAY you Go Wilder's

Thanks again for another Great Conversion.

I want to say that this looks so much better in Firefox and Mozilla than the old forum did. It displays beautifully. Now, IE, is a different story...there I can't read much of anything and increasing the text size doesn't increase the size of much of the text...such as the list of threads which is in tiny font. But this is one reason I seldom use IE as this happens at other sites also on IE. So, that problem with IE doesn't matter much to me.

I'm thrilled that I don't need to increase text zoom anymore here on Firefox and Mozilla. It looks great at 100% . I used to need to increase to 150% to make it comfortably readable and then some text would not increase (like IE is still). Now all text on this site is very comfortable to read in these two browsers at the default zoom level. That is wonderful!

Plus, I was having a ton of problems using Firefox on the old site. I don't have any problems so far on the new board and I have been posting here for a while today so again this is great! This is really nice software!

Kudos to Mike/Jason/Paul!!!!

Randy,

Sorry that you missed the notice on the PM's.

I had to upload my avatar again and change my profile settings, but other than that, things seem OK, so far. I have been though forum upgrades (on another forum), where a simple forum software upgrade (same forum software) turns into major problems for most of the users!

The folks that worked on this conversion did a great job, and I'm impressed that they were able to transfer the threads and our user names.

[DV8Cowboy]

Great, really well done! :)


Congratulations all!

It's part of a plot to wean everyone OFF IE, Mele (Shhh! Don't tell anyone!). Pete

[angelo_lopes]

Good job. Congratulations!!!!! Keep the good work.

I only can't find where to select the various thread display options. Threaded Mode and Hybrid Mode I can't find where to select it (screen shot would be useful. :-)
Maybe my wife is right: -You need new glasses.....

Hi Eagle1,

Your original member ID was registered under Ahmad (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/member.php?u=8) not Eagle1, and is still there with your original password. (YaBB SE had both a real member name and a display name. The display names could not be converted, so everyone reverted to the name they originally used to register.)

Late Edit: I renamed the original member ID to Eagle1 for you as discussed in email.

[subratam]

This one server is really cool, and got some cool features. Like it and love it.. and yes, special kudos to Mike and Jason and .. heh.. who can forget, Mr Paul Wilders ;D

great job

[pegasus]

I like the new forum software / layout
Clean but nice ;D

[NanDog]

Yup, you Wilder's folks done good! :D

I'm currently toasting all your efforts with a fine glass of Oregon Fumé Blanc! Here's to you all!

(Okay, I lied....it's my second glass! 8) )

Big congrats. A really great effort by Paul & his band of willing experts. Having no trouble at all --- very fast & efficient.

HI ALL! Well, this is a pleasant suprise, I was kind of hoping it was my computer that was moving soo fast!;) Oh well, there are so many changes I have been wandering around like a *puppy* !! Congratulations on all the wonderful work!! I love coming here and feeling safe, not like trying to stay two steps ahead of the boogie man, a very mild name to call the misfits without souls who want everyone elses'!! I have been having all kinds of adventures with my computer, and much to learn, so have a great week, everyone!! Back to :lurking: !!! LOL!

[Ghostman1953]

Welcome to the new server!!
So you`s got yourselves a new server, great. Not that things loaded slow before but soon as I click in a link or topic I`m there, That must be the reason. as was mentioned before, keep up the good work, this is a great site. ;)

[2dazed]

Hey everyone! Haven't been here in a few weeks, sure have missed it. Everything looks great, runs great, & feels great! About the speed...all I can say is think of the commercial...Zoom, Zoom, Zoom. One thing though, are the smilies no more? Those cute cuddly little faces?

Never mind, folks. Little slow at times, but I figured it out! ::)

[goldwing388]

Great work!!!!
