    Default Welcome back!

    Hello Guys

    If your reading this message then you are viewing newsgab.com on our new server.

    Admittedly the server move took a lot longer than expected.

    The news about Kristen Stewart Cheating on Robert Pattinson resulted in a significant surge in traffic to our site (a 40% + increase in the 2 – 3 days following the announcement!)

    The process of backing up and syncing data to our new server was a very processor and memory intensive process. This, together with the increase in traffic (on an already bogged down server) resulted in our server crashing completely on more than a few occasions.

    We hoped to be able to leave the forums available but ‘locked down’ to new posts during the move. The continued strain however meant that we had to take the forums offline whilst we completed the process of transferring our data to the new box.

    Anyway, all good things come to those that wait (apparently) so here we are!

    We’re pretty confident that everything has transferred over correctly, however during the next few days we would really appreciate it if you can report anything ‘odd’ on the site.

    This could be anything from broken links to missing images.

    The original Newsgab site is still sitting on its old server so we have a very small window of opportunity to recover any missing data should anything not have transferred across so please take the time to let us know by replying to this post.

    Finally, a big BIG thank you to you all for your patience over the last few weeks.

    We hope our new and improved server will make your newsgab experience a much more enjoyable one.

    All the best

    Regards

    Chief

    Awesome job Chief!!!! I just have one issue and it started just after the update. There appears to be a totally new text editor box for the replies, the only problem is that I can only see it in IE, when I surf with Firefox (Much faster for me) the new text editor box never shows up. Is there a new plugin that I need to load in Firefox for the text editor box to display?? Thanks again and keep up the great work, we all appreciate it very much!!

    Hi Chief,

    I'm use FF exclusively for web surfing and am currently running FF 14.0.1 and have never had any issues seeing the boxes

    ferret62 do you run the No-Script plugin or anything similar in FF? If so check the settings and make sure you are 'allowing' everything on the page
