Server Move

[James Shadle]

BPN's move to the new server is complete(less a couple of small tweaks).
I'm ate up with ADD and hate to wait. So for me, the forum's "snappy", "responsive" "fast" etc. performance is truly welcomed.

Our old hosting company was too unreliable to offer the stability and performance our members deserve.
BPN's commitment to making your experience with us an enjoyable one is what drove this move.
Our hosting costs just tripled. It is worth every penny to provide you with the best forum experience available.

Stay tuned, we have some very exciting upgrades and member benefits coming in the very near future.

The move was as smooth as butter, much easier than had imagined (could have been a nightmare!).

I want to thank the BPN and URLJET.com teams for making it possible.
Team BPN : James Shadle, Jeff Cashdollar and Blake Shadle
Team URLJET.Com: Greg Middlesworth and Adam.

Thanks Guys!!!!

Jeff, last night I was getting a database error from the site, which prevented the page from loading. It only lasted about ten minutes and then came back online.

Thanks for all your hard work guys!

[Desmond Chan]

Got a database error message, too, last night.

Also, not all thumbnails and pics show up without logging on. Not sure if that's the way it's supposed to be though but it's been like that since before the latest server move.

Across the pond here in South Africa, everything working great thanks.

things are not working from here, looks like server cannot generate thumbnails for images hosted externally.

[Jeff Cashdollar]

I have a ticket open - I will escalate ASAP.

Just talked to help desk - they are working the ticket - more lated as it develops.

Thumbnails not working again :( doesn't generate thumbnails from externally hosted images.

You could upload the image to the BPN server until the thumbnail issue is fixed.

good call, but I have to do a separate save for web each time :D

Yes, it would have to be smaller than 195kB, funny those rules. :)
