Title: 73-87Chevytrucks.com Hosting update
Post by: Captkaos on February 17, 2025, 05:18:33 pm
In the next few days we will be migrating all pages from 73-87chevytrucks.com to a new Hosting platform with new servers and hardware.  Prior to this happening the forum will be put in maintenance mode were we can freeze it for the migration and not loose any post.    Please bear with us while this work is done as it may be an hour or more for the update to be completed.


If you have any questions please email us at webmaster@73-87chevytrucks.com

Thanks guys, still validating everything moved like it should...  I am going to "attempt" to push a SMF update to the new host and somethings my be "broken" or missing but right now it is stuck from auto-updating.  If it fails I will put and retry so we arent down for tool long.  Planning on doing it during low traffic time, but it my not be my time but theirs.

FYI The transition will be scheduled this week.  I will post here prior to putting the forum in Maintenance Mode.  Unfortunately they can only do this between 7am-3pm CST..  Stay Tuned.

Today is the day.  At 8:30am CST (50 minute from now) the forum will be put in maintenance mode.  At some point it will go down.  DNS changes typically take about 6 hours but the move will only take about 40 minutes.  The actual move is scheduled for 9:30am CST.  Thanks for the patience while we move to new software.

No, but hopefully I can fix it so the 1 isn't there anymore.  Ideally once it is moved I may try and get the software updated prior to releasing it depending on how long it is actually down.

Forum is not running on the new hosting along with the rest of the site (minus our storefront which has been on current software for years now).
Please let me know if you see any issues.

I noticed it too but thought it was temporary during the transition.  Nonetheless, here's one example of images still not displaying...

I honestly think the didn't fully follow mine and SMFs migration instructions.  I have an open ticket with the on this and an email issue.  There is a upload directory that appears to have been skipped repathed or renamed.  I am still trying to find which.
