Title: Could be done....
Post by: HD on February 02/03/23, 06:44:34 PM
MNO could be done?

I was informed today that our server service is shutting down February 28th 2023.

I'm not sure if I can find a new server in this short a notice of time. Then, have the site transferred with or without interruption.

We'll see

Oh well....it was a good run....

Hope you find something and can move stuff in time. In case you can't will you eventually bring it back and do you have a way to connect everybody if you do?

In the event you can't get it moved in time will you make a last day post reminding us all?

If everyone's email is valid, I probably could setup a automatic email.

If I get a heads up before he shuts it down, I will post it up.

Sure a good thing I got glenn's mailing address & started a wren breeding program in my basement.  :rotflmao: I have enjoyed MNO very much. Not many people on here pretentious & full of themselves. Gotta appreciate that. Please keep us informed HD.

I do hope you can figure this all out.  I'm not much help figuring out this kinda stuff out.

I can't believe you have such short notice.  :angry:

I will also bet that most of us have no clue as to how much money it takes to host something like this or if the advertising revenue even covers the cost.

Perhaps you could move it to the cloud (AWS, IBM).  Again, i have no clue about their rates, or what they charge for professional services to configure virtual servers and migrate.

Good luck.

I can honestly tell you that I get ZERO money from all the advertising you see on the site. 99.999% was / still is offered for free to active posters. That being said, I could clear out all the banners, except for LPS'S..... I'm just lazy 😁

But, I'm working on a plan....I just hope I can get it done before he pulls the plug.

Please, no… have enjoyed the short time here. I guess I’d have to quit hunting/fishing forums cause no way in he!! would I go back to IDO. I’d rather resurrect CK Outdoors!  Lol.

Well that's a bummer. Lots of good fellers on this site. Hope you do get it figured out HD. I would surely donate to the cause too if needed.
Title: Re: Could be done....
Post by: HD on February 02/10/23, 05:44:01 PM
Welp, so here is a update.....

My tech-guy is building a server to transfer the site to. He's trying to run a sample site to see if it will run fast and smooth enough. I inherited the site, so there is a lot of old / unused files (mostly jpeg, jpg, mpg, png files) that can slow down performance. If we can decipher what's needed and what's not, we should be ok.

So we'll see, and I'll keep you posted.
Title: Re: Could be done....

From what I can tell is, these are  themes & banners and such. But I'm not sure which are current and which are old. They're not labeled well enough to understand what they are  :banghead:

I'm working with the tech-guy to see if the  server will handle the site. If it doesn't run smoothly, then I will have to find a different venue to host the site. If it comes down to a server hosted in the states, the server fees are astronomical for a non-profit site. I'm looking at others for a backup plan if it doesn't work out..... so, to answer your question...No, we're not saved. But I'm working on it.

Hello Brad

Please give us a little patience while we stress test the new server.

We appreciate your patience while we get things straightened out until we get your sites moved.

FYI:  i got a couple of different errs from the PC.

The 1st was an https thing:  your connextion is not private, attackers might be trying to steal your information from mnoutdoorsman.com

When i went to advanced and tried to proceed anyway, i got a 404 not found error when it tried to connect to mnoutdoorsman.com/forums

I got the same errs after clearing my chrome browser cache. 

Don't know if other users r seeing the same thing

Look at Cookies fishing report on the front page. After the server change, those "A's" appeared. I tried to fix it, but I got an error for a update on the data base. The tech-guy tried to fix the error, and the site locked up.

Just part of the headaches that goes with switching servers. We'll get it, but you may see some weird stuff going on till then.

Did anything change?  Doesn't seem like it to me.

Look at Cookies fishing report on the front page. After the server change, those "A's" appeared. I tried to fix it, but I got an error for a update on the data base. The tech-guy tried to fix the error, and the site locked up.

Just part of the headaches that goes with switching servers. We'll get it, but you may see some weird stuff going on till then.

must be some Canadian blood in the new server with "A's" on the home page!!!

Sorry fella's.... normally I update the article on the front page every Sunday.
But until we get this error code figured out, I'll have to wait.

UPDATE!

Ok, the forum part of the website is working as it should for the time being.

The database on the other hand, is not. From what we are experiencing is that the database is corrupt. This means that articles can't be uploaded or edited.

The tech-guy is working with the creator of the tiny portal database to see what he can do. What we are told so far is that the files are so old that they can't be uploaded to a new database. So, we are looking at what we can save, and what we can't. We might have to start over, if we can't find a fix.

Anyways, it's still a work in progress.

Yup, the "like" button is being a little bit of a bitch as well.... funny thing is that the creators of that modification, are saying that we need to update it. It was a free mod before, but now the update will cost money.

Only thing is, if we can't fix the database, it's not worth paying for an update.

It's a vicious circle  :rotflmao:

Go for it.


I thought I made a post in the Twins forum this morning and it's not there. Maybe a technical snafu or maybe I never hit post.    :confused:

The "Like" button might be broke, but the Applaud link (under each user's profile pic) still works.   :happy1:
Thanks for keeping it going.

Maybe the new AIBotMod feature disagreed with your post and cancelled it.   :bonk:

Here's the bumpy part....

You may have to use the menu tab to find the login.
Depending on the device you use.

Yep, Dotch, he's working on the "Like" button

You ain't a kidding,  I turned the phone sideways and log in is on top, but all the threads are way on the bottom.

Yup, it's a work in progress.
Seems every time we switch servers, databases or update forums. We have a learning curve. I work with molten metal and it's a far cry from website support....I know enough to be dangerous though 😂

We do have a like button, a little different than before.

Still under construction..... should be able to post now. Just remember to look for the login under the menu tab if using your phone.

Sorry for the inconveniences!

You don't need to appologize for anything.  Well done.

The nav is different on my phone, but in a good way.  The current thread updates are on the bottom now.  I don't have to resize my phone screen so much and zoom around.  :happy1:

Yup, I like that it opens up full size on the phone. I looked at a way to move the "recents" up in the column. But I don't think I can. Oh well, I think it's better than it was. I think I saw another member post about how it opened up on a phone, hopefully he likes it better too.

I was windering if this was possible too, but now i kinda like that it is all on the bottom for my phone.  I can speed scroll right to the bottom and find the 'recents' i am looking for.

 :scratch: I wonder why the "Like" button only shows on certain threads.
Maybe cause they are so old? hhhhmmmmmmm.....

Trust me Glenn, a few hundred farfignewtons were said as I pulled what little hair I had left out and swilled a few beers.
