The forum will be moving to a new server today, so expect some downtime later this evening (GMT). Hopefully it won't be down more than a couple of hours.

Edit: The move is now complete and everything seems to be in order. Let me know if you spot anything wrong.

Note that the server is now in the CET time zone so you may have to edit your profile settings to adjust your time offset.

Wait, you mean the server is actually in my timezone?

Has it been moved to Sweden? Switzerland?

weren't attachments maxed at 50mb?

apparently, i had never paid much attention to details... but, any other changes we'd be interested in or are we left to discover them on our own through easter?

The forum seems nice and quick for me!

There's still a hidden input field within the form, called "MAX_FILE_SIZE", which is set to "31457280":



Could it be just some obsolete form code, or... perhaps the 100MB attachments aren't really active yet.

Cheers,

Thanks, I hadn't noticed that. I've removed those lines as the file size limit is enforced server side.

They feel about the same for me as they did before the sudden slow down the other day, which is a good thing.
