Default NOTICE: RFD.com Server Upgrade

We are upgrading the hardware that hosts the main page tonight. It shouldn't effect the forums at all. Just something to be aware of if you are trying to access it.

The upgrade is done, but the DNS has yet to update. Should be seamless.

The main page was getting a bit slow, so we upgraded so it would have room to grow.

Is this why I'm getting "The page cannot be displayed" when I tried to post on the main page comments?

Same with the forums. Have to press back and click submit again to make sure it posts. At least the forums don't lose what I typed.

Well we didn't do anything to the forums, so I think they are unrelated.

Strange I've been getting quite a few of those "page can't be displayed" as well. Since yesterday morning.

Update: And again, just now. It happens when I summit a reply. The post get posted, but I don't get forward back to the thread.

Update 2nd: And again when I just made the first update...

I have been getting that as well, "page can't be displayed, the post gets posted, but I don't get forwarded back to the thread."

The only thing it could be is a DNS propagation problem, cause nothing else was changed. We didn't do anything on the forums.

yeah, but on the splash page I mean. The first "deal" is "Welcome to the new server" at least it will be if you ISP has updated their DNS. I don't know why it would cause a problem, but I suppose it could.
