Hello Bushcafters!
If you are reading this message it means you are now using the upgraded BushcraftOz Forum on our new server. Australian members should notice a significant improvement in performance and speed. Hopefully the new server will provide a much quicker browsing experience for both desktop and mobile users. It also allows us access to more bandwidth and storage to accommodate our growing database of content. The forum software has also been updated which will fix some bugs, security issues and improve performance. You won’t notice any changes to the functionality itself.
Note About Emails:
We had to disable the email functions to prevent the spamming hack also. This resulted in a reasonable email queue which has now been cleared. The email functions have been re-enabled which means if you are subscribed to any threads or have PM notifications turned on you may have recently received a bulk load of delayed notification emails from the forum. This should now go back to normal.
Note About DNS:
Please note that the site my be a little "funky" for up to 2 days as we have changed the DNS to point to the new website location, its possible you might get sent to the old server and get the forum offline message. IF you know what you are doing I usually find using Google's public DNS is pretty good and comes through faster than Telstra etc. If you are a super geek you can change your hosts file to point our URL to the new server IP for a day or two. Baring that just wait, everything should be running smooth in no more than two days but likely within hours.
Note About The Custom "Dark" Style (BushcraftOz_Customs_1.5):
I have also noticed a few of the css changes to the custom "dark" theme are wrong with the upgrade. I'm making a list below but if you use the dark theme please post them here for me to fix.
As always. Thank you so much to the mods for the top job they do. I would also like to personally thank the community for their patience with the upgrades and as always for making this such a terrific online community.
p.s: Thank you to the members who have donated to the forum. Your generous donations have been a real help to make the server upgrade possible for us.
-----------------
The following additional changes have/will be made as I tick them off:
*Fixed an issue where the registration page was not working
*Register and Help buttons are now visible when logged out of the forum
*Made 'Upload' button more visible in image upload pop-up window - TO DO
