Sorry the board was down for the weekend but once I had started the process of the move to a new hosting site, it was easier to keep it off and keep new items from going into the database (which would have meant starting all over and downloading the database again, and I wasn't sure whether my old hosting company would continue to give me access to the files as my service expired there on Friday).
I couldn't change a few essentials until this morning so really only began most of the move today. I did reopen the board a little earlier but a couple of minor things weren't working so I had to reinstall again, but all seems fine now. :*nana:
I think you will find the board runs a lot faster now. This should be the last major move or upgrade for good while -- a new version of the board is due out later this year but probably not til end of summer or autumn and that should be a fairly easy upgrade. Moving to a new host is the most complicated kind of move as the entire massive database needs to be moved. The database for this site is 348MB, which is pretty darn big.
There's also a new version of the blogging software.
I haven't yet been able to figure out how to set redirects so you need to use the full site address to get here: www.board.cavaliertalk.com. By tomorrow, www.cavaliertalk.com should work as well.
