Server Upgrade - Tomorrow!

[VickiStegall]

We are ready to move the Oscraps blog, forum & gallery over to the new server. We will be temporarily closing the blog, forum & gallery Sunday, April 22, mid-morning.

We expect the downtime for the transfer to be minimal, but please keep in mind when a site moves "addresses" that it can take time to replicate across service providers across the net - unfortunately, we have no control over that aspect. Most service providers will update almost instantly while some can take 24 hours.

Hope all goes smoothly and we are back together again soon- will miss my O fix

Thanks for the heads up Vicki!! Hope everything goes according to plan!! See you here later in the day tomorrow :wave:

glad the store will be open for wild shopping to ease the pain of not being able to talk on the forum! But remember, there is our Facebook page we can talk on, too!! yay!!

OMG, I'm going to have withdrawals LOL

 

[clarabear]

This is exciting stuff. Change is good especially when it signifies growth. Yay!! Fingers and toes crossed everything is closer to the instant side of things.

 

[sberkan]

So exciting to be moving up to bigger and better things! Hope it all goes well!

 

[VickiStegall]

Yup, Sally! The store will remain open (we're not ready to move it yet) and I really don't think the forum/gallery/blog will take long at all. It really is mostly a matter of transferring any new layouts to the new server (won't take long!) and then changing the 'address'.

Good luck with the move!!
fingers crossed it will be fast

Soooooo, mid-morning for you Vicki, is sometime late afternoon / early evening for me (I think?) ... so I get to play most of today [hopefully] without interruption ... woo-hoo! Hope everything goes smoothly.

Don't forget to follow Oscraps (@oscraps) on Twitter for news / updates.

Same here, but then I wanted to go to the next page and it gave me the message "unavailable" and I was like woaha that's fast... but it was my own internet that didn't work! LOL

Good luck Vicki!!

I'll be closing it down at 1:00 pm.

Expected downtime is minimal for actual move, but, like I've said before, it may take some time for the new address to propagate.

 

[Dumpty]

could you put the new IP address on fb or twitter ?

 

[LaurieW]

It must have been fast cause it is back for me- don't know if it was gone,cause I went in to work since there was no O!

 

[timounette]
