New Photo of the Month
Photos now reinstated on the Forum.....
|
Friday 23 October 2006
Well Here are on the - OUR OWN NEW PRIVATE SERVER!!
(VPS)
Play nicely and don't break anything! I've noticed that there are a lot of
"?" all over the place, this happened last time we moved servers, I think
it's something to do with American keyboard codes! I'll try to change them
as I come across the in the posts. We'll run the Forum with picture
for a short while without the photos until we feel all is stable.

Tuesday 24 October 2006
Well after a frantic 3 days or
investigations, complaints, intense negotiations, discussions,
ill-informed debates, bad tempered arguing and lengthy stroppy silences,
Bradders and I have decided that you can't go wrong with Digestive
biscuits with a cup of tea........ oh, and and got the Forum working
again!
The Forum has now been temporarily reinstated just so we can let you know
what's going on and we can all speak to each other again. Tomorrow
morning we will be moving to a VPS "Virtual Private Server" service which will ensure
(according to the Host ) the overloading problems do not happen again.
More expense....
We have also been informed that this is a 12 hour process but please be
assured we will try our best to keep the Forum up and running as much as
possible through the entire upgrade. ( Please note that all attachments /
Photos have been disallowed to reduce Forum traffic on the site but will
be reinstated as soon as we are live on the new service. )
You may have noticed a new button at the bottom of the menu bar (left),
got to fund the new hosting package somehow.!
Muchas
Graciasto
those that have already.

Well Guy
& Girls we seem to be a victim of our own success!
The forum is so popular that the hosting company is complaining that we're
overloading their servers!! "...even if
your bandwidth usage it at 20%, that does not mean it will not overload
the server.
When a mysql request is sent to the server, it might do a loop and
therefore, overload the server."
No, I don't really know what that means either! So
this week I'm going to
have to fork out even more money for our own VPS - Virtual Private Server!
Until then I've been asked ( told ) to 'suspend the forum' or / and
upgrade to a VPS
service. Use the time to find who those other people in your
house you see from time to time
really are and finish building your models! The forum will be back on-line
later this week. Sorry, Martin

Tuesday 4 April 2006
"The Model Boats website is in
the process of being redesigned and will be moving to a new Host Provider
- as is obvious when you click on the url. This will happen in the very
near future - should be up and running by May. It will be completely
redesigned and will once again feature direct on-line shopping for plans,
etc.
We will be including a Forum and we are hopeful that we have been able to
recover the Forum files so that none of the previous information is lost.
Confirmation on this is expected later today as we only became aware
yesterday lunchtime that the Host Server was about to pull the plug and
there was some last minute downloading in an attempt to secure the Forum
files.
The website was one of the many items to suffer under the demise of
Highbury. Our new company, Encanta Media Ltd is striving to bring
everything back to normal and to develop our services so we ask people to
be patient for a few more weeks."
