Its been a wild ride for us this week, but the performance increases have been worth it. :)

One of the BIG issues we had with the upgrades was that the OS on our system is WAY out of date so some of these new modern web server software and caching services have been giving us some issues. In fact now that everything seems as though its working great we are still seeing some issues in the background because of the outdated OS on the servers.

On Sunday at NOON Eastern time LER will be working on our servers and bringing us up to the latest version of our operating system. During much of this time the site will not be available. In talking with LER and AnthonyG they both feel it is better to take care of the issue now then let it continue to be a problem.

I personally feel that the site is running GREAT now but they tell me it could run even better when all the new stuff is running on the correct supported OS version.

Thanks for your patience as we continue to strive to make SatelliteGuys even BETTER for you!

Due to an emergency at LER's real job this update is being pushed off until next weekend.

Since we didn't get to do our work today I am going to update the forum software which I was holding off on.

It is supposed to fix some bugs and from the feedback at vBulletin.com it seems to be rather stable.

We will be down for 5 to 10 minutes or so if everything goes correctly. :)

Just downloading everything now, so will be about a half hour before I jump into it.

The work will be taking place this Sunday as it was postponed last week. :)

Remember the site will be down for a portion of the OS upgrade! :)

Thanks for your support!

LER has started the upgrade. It will be a few hours before he will be to the point where he needs to take the server down. :)

That must be why I couldn't get the SatelliteGuys app to connect. Something about a "parse error".

Correct that was the reason why. He is all done for today. Server 2 has been upgraded. :)
