General Discussion / Re: LEF UPGRADE PREPARE FOR OUTAGE
« on: January 29, 2011, 12:01:26 PM »
Fellow Lister enthusiasts,
Because the Forum is moving onto a new server, with a new address, I will be changing the name server records accordingly. However, DNS (name server) records can take up to 48 hours to refresh, so when you first try to access the forum after the migration, you may end up here, on the old server. The forum will have been replaced with a link to the new version - which will be on a separate temporary address.
PLEASE DO NOT ALTER YOUR BOOKMARKS.
Within 48 hours, everything will be back to normal, and it'll be like nothing changed.... except the version of SMF will be newer, and hopefully the site won't be prone to periods of unexplained - and often extended - downtime...
Please don't worry if the entire explanation above was gibberish to you... Just click the links when they say to click them, and don't change your bookmarks.
That is all.
