MOVING TO NEW SERVER THIS WEEKEND

[Magic City Matt]

Ok All,
After arguing with countless reps from our hosting provider and hearing form quite a few of you on the intolerable slowness that is AlaTrails I have decided to move us to a different host. We may be down for a day or 2 but bear with us and I hope to have us back on line by Monday.

Matthew, I'm taking the liberty to thank you for all you do. You put an enormous amount of effort into this forum and are continually making welcomed improvements. I really look forward to visiting this site almost daily. Karma to you.   Rob

Thank you Matthew. Don't worry, I'll come back and keep my eye on the place too. Great job and keep it up.

Matthew,

I'll echo the praise for you and what you are doing here. In thanks, I may have a special "content gift" coming over the next few weeks, if I can sort the material out.

Good luck with moving the stuff around!

[Magic City Matt]

Thank you all so much for your support.

The move is complete.
We still have some server tweaking to happen but for the most part everything should be functional. If anyone notices any strangeness like missing images or something let me know and I will verify them

There are still some issues with DNS propagation so there might be some strange happenings if your ISP has caching DNS servers.

I have been monitoring the throughput of the site though and at this point I can say without a doubt that we should be seeing much better performance.
