311s.org is moving Friday

So, you may or may not have noticed issues with the forum the last couple of days. I tried updating to the latest release but was unsuccessful once again. I ended up having to back out completely and restored the files from the backup I did before trying the upgrade this morning. I will try this once we are moved to our new hosting provider as I suspect most of my problems are related.

So, just a friendly reminder that the forum and website will be moving to its new home this Friday beginning at 9 AM 3/23/18. There is much to do for the move so I have been working in the background to get as much done as I can without disrupting things. It is quite an involved process and I am sure there will be issues to address after the move. As I said it can take any where from a few hours to 24 hours for the new host to start serving up 311s.org. Be patient and I will try to make this as painless as possible. If there are problems after the move-please let m know so I can address them.

311s.org could be down for some time-so be patient as we make this big move.

Thanks for your support and patronage.

Steve

I figure folks will be trying to connect while the move is happening. I have tested a pre-move and everything looked good. I am sure there will be issues but will deal with them as they pop up. Thanks for the offer though.

Not really, just be patient while the move takes place.

I've got a truck. If I were closer, I could help with the move. Oh wait, it isn't that kind of move...

Greg,

Can you try pinging 311s.org? You should come back with 184.154.134.35 I think there might be some confusion between the old and the new. I will be removing all of the files and databases from the old host once I have them backed up. Thanks.
