Please make comments and notes about the new server speeds and if you are noticing anything

Known Issues
- GW Uploader will not work or let you login if you were logged off on the old Gamingw.net domain. This will be fixed as soon as these forums are back on Gamingw.net - Fixed, thanks rami
- Some issue with user avatars and permissions, these will be fixed later today.


Coming Soon
- Archives of the forums, less topics/posts on the live version means faster forums. You will still have access to all the old forum material.
- A main site :)
- Much more!



---------------------------

Last night, I decided to finally make the change to a new server, possibly!

I made some calls, and here we are. Anyways, straight to the questions:

BART SOME THINGS ARE BROKEN
Please report anything broken in this topic. If you see a mySQL error hidden away somewhere then tell me!

what is gamecake it sounds yummy
GameCake.net is a domain I registered for fun use. Do not worry about it, ever.

Will GW always now be under Gamecake.net
No, this is only temporary until I move the DNS over, which takes a few days.

This server isn't much faster ...
I AM TESTING THIS SERVER OUT. I dropped some cash on it in an effort to get things going. Think of it as an investment! If this server works well for the GW Forums we will keep it

I have noticed several things which I doubt are my fault because everything worked find yesterday!

1) Custom icons, like those Mr. Crumply has, are displayed at the wrong location on the page. Right now, his four pac-ghosts are somewhere in your post, Bart, instead of their usual location next to his name. I have noticed this every icon I have seen.

2) No smilies?

3) Cannot login to uploader (although admittedly it seems to be working).

I've also noticed a lot of speed issues, then I was hit with a dynamic database scaling screen and after that it seems to have improved.

This?

Dynamic database scaling
in progress...

Please stand by for a few moments. Our database system is currently scaling up to meet the demand of a recent surge in traffic. The site should be operational again in a few minutes. Thank you.

...I got that too. :crazy:
