Report on the server upgrade Sunday

[Elad]

The server upgrade went very smoothly, and we're now running on our brand new database server. Everything looks good so far, and we're excited about what this server can hopefully provide for DU with regards to increased capacity.

However, there's always the chance with things like this that unforseen glitches can occur, so if you run into any problems, please contact Elad ([e-mail] ), or click the link that appears to report errors.

Thanks!

30. I never seen the words: "The server upgrade went very smoothly"

together in that order before. Congratulations.

Your plans for merging personal blogs and a threaded forum will leap-frog DU into the premiere liberal forum. (As if those of us who have been here awhile didn't know that already.)

[TacticalPeek]

31. Bravo!

Never ever take a reliable, functioning system for granted.

[ClintonTyree]

51. Hey, how did you get a picture of the FR computer?

I thought that was top-secret, proprietary information! RimJob is going to be pissed! :rofl:

Guys must have done your homework on this!

[justgamma]

33. Thanks for the great job!

I've never had the pages load faster. It's almost like having high speed internet.

[lpbk2713]

37. Do I smell smoke? Where are those sparks coming from?

Thanks for all the Admins good work done on our behalf.


:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Dem2theMax]

38. Whoa! Who do I sue for whiplash?

The pages are moving so fast, I can almost forget I'm on dial-up!

So that's what it feels like when you have high speed internets service. (Sort of.) LOL.

Great job Elad. Two big

[understandinglife]

40. Thank you and very well done!!!

Peace.

[Chipper Chat]

41. Elad: I found an extra $5.00 lying around, so:

I just donated it to DU. I know it's not much, but I appreciate all the extra work you guys (and gals) do for us loyal democrats. Anyone else have some loose change? Maybe I'll start a trend here.

[RagingInMiami]

42. Thanks

43. Great, but when are we gonna get Smell-O-Rama?

[Skittles]

44. this is why I contribute to DU during each fundraiser

you guys just keep making DU better and better :thumbsup:

[malaise]

45. Thank you n/t

[file83]

46. I had a strange thing just happen -

As I posted a message (successfully), the screen came back showing the comment, but none of the graphics around the thread. It was just text, apparently formatted correctly, but no graphics. For a second I thought you guys meant to change it that way, but when I clicked on the topic link again, the page redrew itself the normal fashion. Strange little glitch that I've never seen here before.

[eridani]

47. Long threads are missing the last half of their replies n/t

[mogster]

48. Great, I can feel the wind against my face

it goes so fast now :-)

:nerd: :coke: and :pizza:

[Peter Frank]

49. You all are the best... n/t

[ClintonTyree]

50. You da' MAN!

This is what I love about DU. You guys are constantly upgrading and finding new ways to make life more enjoyable here at DU! :yourock:

Now let's compare this to an un-named "patriotic conservative" site we all know. They're still using the same technology they started with in the mid 90's, squeezing every nickel they can out of their members and giving them nothing in return. That's Republican greed for ya'! You guys could be putting your families on the payroll and driving around in brand new Motor Homes with the money received from pledges like some OTHER (cough-freeper-cough) people we know but you're only interested in making life better for ALL, not just a few!

Thanks for making DU the NUMBER ONE progressive site on the web! :party: :toast: :party:

[wakeme2008]

52. Elad... question

the geek in me has to ask, what was your old DB and what is your new DB :)

[democrank]

53. Many thanks for your efforts..

Onward and upward!

[Surya Gayatri]

54. Elad, Skinner, EarlG--you guys are fantastic!

Major thanks for everything you do to make this site the best compendium of liberal/progressive thought on the web.
