  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

To all,

Please stop using commas in the file name when you upload under any circumstances. There’s no problem in the description or even the title, but if it’s in the file name, Google Chrome and FireFox don’t like it, and the file won’t download properly.

It’s the second time in a week. :banghead:
 
Interesting since the file name is supposed to be the same as the zipfile name. Maybe a typo when entering the zipfile name and hitting the wrong key. Aside from that it seems the file wouldn't download at all since it wouldn't be recognized. Curious.

Ed,

Often they are, but there have been a couple of instances in the past week where people have inserted commas into the filename. If you leave the "rename" section blank, it will use the "name" listing by default. But it has been an issue on occasion, and when I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off between work, grad school, leg bandage changes, and the fatherly duties of herding and managing four kids, the less complications I have in my life, the better. :encouragement:
