boards is back!

copacetic

good work guys, running quick for me too...

Dades

Phew-

I thought my "refresh" finger was going to fall off...

Tom Dunne

Great! I can stop working now.

It's the old saying, you don't realise how much you miss something until it is gone.

And it is noticably quicker too. Though that's probably 'cos most Boards.ie users are going through cold turkey in a corner somewhere.

Tabnabs

lol, me either!

copacetic

never got so much work done in a day as today!

Tom Dunne

Yeah, it's been surprisingly productive for me too. Ah well, at least that's the end of it.

Stark

Yay

My refresh button finger has RSI

Bard

Hurrah! Now people can go back to talking about the worst ads on the radio, vaginal excretions, why the PS3 sucks and horse racing.

What a wonderfully varied site we have

/me kisses boards.ie through laptop screen ..ooOO{{ DONT EVER LEAVE AGAIN!!! }}OOoo..

Ruu_Old

yeah, I wish that one would stop popping up on the main screen eventually I will click on it, i just know it..

Stargal

Is it just pie that's back? The www isn't working for me...

ST

I can only launch using the IP address, does anyone know the Adverts IP address?

OfflerCrocGod

It's all perfect for me I'd say you just need your DNS cache refreshing but that will be all sorted by tomorrow.

seamus

adverts.ie isn't back yet.

stargal - it's not possible to use pie or statler or anything like that anymore. It may take a while for some people to get access to the site via www.boards.ie, particularly if you're in a corporate network.

If you're not on a corporate network, something as simple as rebooting could sort it.

regi

OK, I'll say this again.

• Don't use the IP address
• Don't use porkpie.boards.ie anymore
• Don't use statler.boards.ie
• THEY WON'T WORK

Thanks!

copacetic

www is fine for me too...

Winters

Plug it into my vein!

<+regi> and then you'll say WAAAH WAHHH on feedback

r3nu4l

Nice to have you guys over on boards.org.uk for a while there earlier. Feel free to visit again anytime

Great to have boards.ie back

hmmm, but how are the people using them going to know
not to if they can't get in to read this???

seamus

Seems to be flying along too.

But have ye actually plugged in the new hardware? Or is this just a few minutes of grace while we wait for everyone to come back?

KTRIC

Jaysus lads, good work.

The site is now one of the fastest forums I use.

New servers regi ?

They seem lovely and smooth, good work *cough*

regi

We've not plugged in the new hardware yet, just tweaked the network a little.

New hardware comes online over the next week, I'd say.

That's weird, the pie is definitely working for me but the www isn't. I'm at home so it's not a corporate network or anything, but might try rebooting anyway.

youngteens.com can be a bit slow at times.


but on a real note, legend work guys, Asok didnt lie when he said there would be a performance boost.

zAbbo

Is that some canonical url hax going on, probably makes it easier for load balancing (if thats whats planned)

Good job on getting that done so soon.

She's zipping along quite nicely now. I'd say this is both a combination of now everyone being back on the site, and it being on a bigger pipe perhaps?

Needless to say, well done! Can't wait till the new hardware is installed. Does this mean you'd be adding back in some features that were taken away, like search and users viewing a forum?

Cuddlesworth

seems faster, but that might be because boards was down for the entire day so not that many users on. We will see tomorrow at lunch.

I assume you are a guy, because he never lies to guys.
