The gallery will be offline while I do a migration and update to our new dedicated server. Hopefully the new version and server will run a bit more speedily considering our now fairly bulky 125,000+ unique photos.

Thanks,
Jim

Howdy Jim

Doin' your usual bang-up job of keepin' the site running it's best I see It's a wonder you get any sleep at all pard', or for that matter, working 24/7 like you do, that you 'get' anything at all!.... ....just pullin' yer chain big guy.

Wow!.....125,000 pics huh?......geeesh, I remember back in the day when we didn't even have 125 photos total in the Gallery, never mind that times a thousand!

Any idea when KitMaker will be back up?

Tread.

Gordon,
Thanks! As for when it will be back up, I am hoping later tonight. I have migrated all 13GB of photos and data over to the new server I just need to get it working and then do the update.

125 eh? I don't think I even remember that. :-)

Cheers,
Jim

Ah...Jim,

When I try to get to Armorama either by clicking on the tab or via the address line, I am directoed to Modelgeek instead. Does not happen with Aeroscale. Could this be a feature of the upgrade?

Doh.... okay 10hrs later and crashed and burned. The old gallery is back up in the meantime until I can figure out why I can't get the remote database connections working between servers...

Arggg.....
