Thumbs up Server Upgrades

Just a quick FYI to let you all know that the server this websie is on will be upgraded Tuesday Night / Wednesday Morning starting from around Midnight UK time.

During this time there will be NO access to the website from 23:30pm UK time to allow 30 minutes to clear all web sessions and take backups of all database's before the upgrades get under way.

Total downtime should only be a few hours, so hopefully, if everything goes to plan, the website should be back online around 03:00 UK time.

If the upgrade goes "pete tong" then i'll do my best to fix it asap but I have another community website with 25,000 members to sort out first.

This website will also be moving to a brand new server by the end of Feb anyway, more power, more speed and more resiliance to failiures (Should they ever happen) with off site NAS backups from March.

So, bare with me, things should be faster and faster in the up-coming weeks.
