    I have one comment and that is -- I miss the birthday list on the bottom of the page. The new PT looks great and I am getting the hang of it!


    I see the B-day list at the bottom of the page.

    Big Update.

    Okay, folks, big update! We will not be getting the new server until Saturday. But then it will be a brand new machine, and hopefully stable for many years to come. Thank you for all your patience, and bearing with us. This server seems stable for now, but we will continue to monitor it closely. Go ahead and post, but of course, Search and "Today's Threads" will not be available until we are on the new server, as we know this one cannot handle the search process.

    I don't know much about servers, but I hope it will live up to your expectations! We'll be patient - and anyway, things work fairly well now - we can view and post.

    So you and Paul get to spend yet another weekend, serving another server. You certainly have put a lot of work - expected and unexpected - into this move. Hopefully all will go smoothly this time. Fingers and paws crossed here.

    Avatar question

    I have an avatar, but it didn't show up in my recent post showing in the right hand columns of Forum threads and New Forum Posts. I see other avatars there, so why not mine?

    That may be related to the search engine being turned off, or something to do with the image database that will need to be rebuilt. There's a lot we cannot explore right now, as my avatar doesn't show up in those places either. I will be glad when we are on the new server and can uncripple things.

    By the way, folks, we fixed the blue text under the profiles in the "green" format, just so you know!

    We also fixed if you click on the logo at the top of the forum, it takes you back to the Forums homepage, instead of PetoftheDay.com. Incremental changes, it is like working on an old car. This server works, just not on anything too complex right now!

    Just a question out of curiosity, what hosting company do you run Petoftheday.com out of?

    Hrm. From my experience, 1&1 wasn't that great. They had problems from the start with provisioning my shared hosting, then their tech support was absolute failure, so I just gave up on it.

    If you're after shared hosting, I personally recommend Arvixe. My site's never gone down before, and their tech support is very speedy: http://www.arvixe.com/

    And if you want a VPS, I've had hosting with Bluemile Cloud for.. two years now. My VPSs there went down once when they moved datacenters, a year and a half ago. http://bluemilecloud.com/

    Thanks for your input, Colin. We are looking for a dedicated server, not VPS or any other kind of shared hosting.

    Oh, Bluemile does dedicated server hosting as well. They own their own datacenters - both in Ohio (Cleveland and Columbus, respectively) - I believe they're both Tier 4 or at least Tier 3, and own their own fiber network in Ohio that links up to many of the biggest ISPs.

    Yes, I sound like a salesperson. I really like them. Never had a single problem with them before.
