MageUK Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 If you can see this news post, congratulations, you're viewing us on the new server! It may take some time for DNS to propagate so that everyone can see the new forums, so please bear with us while we wait for it to happen, it shouldn't take any longer than 4 hours. You can now feel free to post as normal again! EDIT : Please give a big thanks to Neminon for performing the server migration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onuasdad Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 So this is going to make the forum faster? Death should not be taken as 'the end,' but a very effective way to cut down taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomy Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 So it'll be faster now? or what? We won't always have to use the http://208.43.229.199/ will we? Doomy edit: I like sheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rarex Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Gonna be hard to escape with an helicopter on your trail :ohnoes: Good work but just wondering, how is the new server any different from the previous one? Or is just faster? If we can know :) -Retired from Runescape on August 12, 2008-Working out topicEverything related to working out! Ask questions, get honest answers.

n_odie Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 The transition right now is making the domain: forum.tip.it = 208.43.229.199 instead of the old ip. Or so I think... :lol: RIP MichaelangelopolousThanks to cowboy14 for the pimp sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 The forum IS faster :) Instead of 5 seconds each time, this time it only took 0.22 seconds. Good work Tip.it Staff :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cup Lion Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Can't notice much, but I guess everything is done for a reason. Keep up the work, Tip.It staff. :thumbup: |Signature by Jason321| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onuasdad Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I guess it is faster by a milisecond or two. It'd be nicer if the posts would be kept, but I doubt this would happen.

speedofsound Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I appreciate the effort you put into supporting this forum. Good job :thumbup: You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "(bleep) you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "(bleep) you."

MageUK Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 The new server will improve a lot of things, the main ones : [*:aaydyef8]Searches should be faster [*:aaydyef8]Page generation times should be quicker [*:aaydyef8]We should be able to take more concurrent users without getting MySQL errors As for using the IP, that's just to allow you to access the forum while we're waiting for forum.tip.it to sort itself out. Once forum.tip.it is working correctly, the IP will automatically force you to forum.tip.it and you can use that address just like you used to. This should be complete by tomorrow night.

InkofDeath Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Glad to be able to post normally again. Excellent job on continuing the support of the forums though. Though I don't know if this is relevant or not, but the 'Font Colour' thing at the side of posts is now smaller instead of larger. So good job to whoever did that. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenin64 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I don't know who's saying it's faster, it took forever for my post to go through. In fact, I even double-posted by accident.

aquariusman Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I'm experiencing the exact same speed for loading a page, the low/mid 0.2s range, with a few jumps to 0.5s We'll see if this speed is constant, because at times I've had a load time of 5s before. If it makes things better for others, then I guess it's worth it. EDIT: Actually, it looks like my load time is cut in half. While it is barely noticeable, according to the information at the bottom, my load time has been cut down by .1s, to 0.1-0.09s. There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. Thatregret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret. It's experience.

Macmaster92 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I do like that the format for different resolutions was fixed. Sometimes stuff just would load right on smaller resolutions. Even though that problem probably had nothing to do with the server switch, and you just fixed it at the same time. Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InkofDeath Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Now it's larger, needs to be fixed again. Still small for me on FF3 and Chrome. :-# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
