Well that was not so bad 50 mins it took and we are up and running on new servers - A nice shiny quad cpu application server and a nice shiny quad cpu database server. This should set us up for the next couple of years of growth.
Now I can implement all the great new stuff I have been working on. Some of it was waiting on database space and other on front end performance. Now we have both so lets get it on.
Enjoy and please let me know if you see anything not working as expected.

I hate to sound like a whinger, but it doesn't seem any faster to me.
I'm still getting the odd page that is VERY slow to load.....like 1 minute plus:(
I'm on a fast ADSL2+ connection and this is the only site that is giving me problems.
Also the 'suppress advertisement-members only' feature is broken.
It only seems to suppress the ad for the current thread that I have open....when I go to the next thread, the bloody ad is back.
Cheers
Glenn

Glenn,
Performance is still excellent there are moments still that is me uploading new code. I have had a number of bugs to fix and I suspect you are hitting at the time I am loading. Have done this about 6 times today and am working on the next one which will be in around 10-15mins time.
As for the Ad Suppress - ensure you are accepting cookies from ExplorOz.com as the suppress function is stored in a cookie on your machine. So if it is not working then you machine is not writting the cookie. Maybe try disabling your security program just for a page or two to get the setting applied then re-enable.
Let me know if you still have a problem with it.

Hi David
Yep, set to accept cookies (firefox)
Disabled anti-virus....made no difference.
Ad suppress has been playing up since last weekend.
Cheers

Glenn,
I just tested it in FF and it is working as expected. I do not know what to say. Maybe try deleting the ExplorOz cookie completly and going from there. Let me know.
Performance is about to take two hits. I will be uploading new code (5 mins) and starting the next newsletter send after that. You will not notice the newsletter but the code update forces a reload on all processes and this takes around 45 secs.
Have a good one.

Bugger!!
I was just about to post and thank you for your help.
I had logged out, removed the cookie, then logged back in.
It seemed to work....I enjoyed a very nice ad-free hour.
But now the ad is back:(
Perhaps I should just learn to love ads.
Thanks anyway.
Cheers
Glenn

All fixed, thanks David.
Did the cookie thing again and actually found 2 cookies.
Deleted them and all good now.
Should there be 2 cookies?
Cheers

Hi David,
I've found that if I access a product in the
shop from the link on the right side of the screen on the
forum page that there is a wish list option (in the old format), but if I access the
shop through the tab at the top or '
shop home' at the right of the screen I get the new
shop format which doesn't have a wish list option.
Cheers
Brian

Brian,
I have yet to install the wishlist in the new
shop. This is on the today list. So by tonight it will have been installed in the new system. I had to move off the
shop for the last few days to get the server migration completed. NOw that the server is done I can get back to the
shop and finish off the last few items on the list, Wishlist & filter items by price.
Thanks for the
feedback.

Wishlist is now back (plus I have added a new link from the
Shop Categories called 'My Wishlist' which will take you to your wishlist items directly in the
shop system.
Enjoy and please let me know if you have any problems in the
shop system.
