Cannot open pics !!

[Last Plumber]

I cannot seem to open the vast majority of images that are posted.

Does anyone else have this trouble or is it just me ?

Forum problem I'm afraid. Dans on it.

British Forums | for everything British

We did a trial move to the new server (when it went offline) last week and it broke. So we're creating a workaround. We've so far managed to move all forums over except this one and electriciansforums.co.uk, which although it's on the new forum software, is actually broke quite badly. So both urgently need moving.

Part of me setting up a forum from scratch was to see how it performed, so we can replicate the structure of the database settings if all went well.

Problem is, our solid state disc (the hard drive) that we are on with this forum has broke. And each time we try to close the forums so it is only concentrating on copying files to either my local machines or the new server directly, it fails and crashes, and at the point it crashes, that set of files it was working on need erasing, recompiling, and copying again. It took us a few hours to get what we thought was a good copy. Loaded it on the new server, and it was. It was shot in various places. So we're kinda trying to create MySQL tables using a new forum, and then just port the content of the tables into them, rather than needing to bring the whole database over in one go.

So it wasn't wasted time per se. Although I did go a bit too far. I just find it fun working on 'em when they're running smooth lol I'm so used to these old things chugging along.

But yeah, we're working on it during quiet periods in the day and sometimes at night once we shut a forum down. It's just a maul.
