The hacker attempted to exploit the mailserver to send spam. Consequently, LW has made several blacklists for email, where it doesn't even go to spam, just bounces. I'm trying to clear our good name. The server is taking forever to reindex the files, so the search function isn't as reliable as usual. That should resolve itself, but I'm still waiting. When it's done indexing, I can bump up pic size permissions and the software will automatically display it at the best size for your screen. If I change the setting now, it's going to try to affect every pic we have and slow the server down further. I've got it on my list with the new skins you want. Some of this just has to wait until the background tasks finish. I really appreciate everyone's patience. The kind words from you guys makes everything worth it. Thank you.

i just tried to open upcoming events and don't have access, wouldn't that be an area open to all folks?

We have some background indexing that is lagging. It’s affecting the search function too. I have another tech looking at it tomorrow. Thanks for your patience.

If you folks get an extra minute, please use the search function hard so that we can be sure all is well with it and it is performing as it should. Thank you!

Pages are loading very slow this morning.  About a minute, versus the usual 1 or 2 seconds, or nearly instant.

 

[Johanna]

Yes. That wasn't an issue yesterday before I thought I fixed it. I'm getting a lag too.

The migration has begun. We are going to a fancy new server to handle the traffic. All will be well in a few hours. If it gets too bad, I'll shut the board off.

Alls been fine and normal at my end

Been slow at my end for the last couple of days, just figured it was ongoing issues so didn't want to complain unduly.

[Northmount]

Speed of loading pages is just about instant now.  Posted earlier this morning but it has gone missing.

Other posts have been lost in the transition too, as well as warnings to spammers.

We did lose a bit of content. The migration finished this morning and I changed the DNS servers. I realized we had half on the old server and half on the new so I force logged everyone out in order to call up the new server as people came back online. I'm looking at improved spam detection right now. I just had to get this other stuff squared away first.
