VLJ software upgrade

[Smithy]

I was going to say, normal service has been resumed, hope I'm not jumping the gun.

That's what I'm tentatively hoping Nick. This is the first time I haven't been booted off after a minute or so in 2 months.

Fingers well and truly crossed!

Very big thank you to Nathan for sorting this out and coming through for us. Problem seems to be solved and I've been able to visit both yesterday evening and this morning without any bother.

Thank you!

Looks like it has gone back to "normal" again. Thank you!

I only access the forum on my Samsung android tab, I live in the Uk and over the last three days have noticed a massive improvement.
The pages load up much faster as do any posts or comments that I make.
Hope this info is of help, thanks again for your efforts Nathan.

An update on statistics again. When we migrated the site to my server we were serving 20,000 pageviews/month. In 2020 we averaged 200,000 pageviews/month.

And here's the latest statistics for posts per month and number of users active per month since we moved to the new software in March of 2016.

Going to try implementing some ads for non-members. If they show up when you're logged in, please let me know.

Could the new update be the reason for the new difficulties with the forum?

Forum enter problem

Last 2 hours I can log forum only using VPN. My laptop is always on, the rest of the forums work without VPN and much faster. Today morning was no problem.

Time outs are an ISP issue generally. We don't have any of your IPs blocked.

Just a heads up, I received notifications on my iPhone that both VLJ and TFL forums had a data leak. Was instructed to change passwords on both forums. Unsure if this is factual or if it’s just my phone being weird.

 

[Nathan Flowers]

I have no knowledge of any such data leak. Please forward whatever you received to [email protected]

Seems it was my password! Thanks @Nathan Flowers

Connect to your wifi, go to google and type in "what is my IP address" and send that number to me in a private conversation.

Sent a pm to you as requested.

Everything look ok to you guys?

Looks great from where I’m sitting. Thanks for all your hard work on this, Nathan.
