Hello all,
If all goes to plan we will be moving Grows on You to a bigger server tonight. For all of you up in the middle of the night or across the world if you notice us down for a while you will know why.
Cheers,
Ajay
UPDATE – Completed. 16 minutes of downtime at midnight 28th GMT.

Dont panic Hywel..no expert but think as GOY has wxpanded and become more popular,need more capacity.Should not affect members using it...just will be even more efficient...like updating our computers,if this makes sense.

I reckon it's more 'techie'stuff, Hywel, so we don't have to understand it. I will NOT be up at that time, so it shouldn't affect me. I hope the overseas members see this message from Ajay, though!

Bonkers and Spritz are right - If everything goes to plan you won't notice a thing :o)
The site might disappear for a short while but we'll be back as usual straight afterwards. We just wanted to let you know not to worry if you do notice anything strange happening.

Hi Peter and Ajay, is this affecting downloading of photos? Have just tried, and when I submit the pic its jamming me up and I have to come right off the site and then open up again.

Milky - Nope. Haven't even started to do anything yet.

Hi Peter and Ajay-
Hope the upgrade to the 'mega server' goes well.I expect the current one is getting rather full!

Thanks Grenville. Doubled everything so that should see us well into 2009. It will be a nice problem to have if we need to upgrade again :)

Milky, I've noticed the same thing sometimes. I think it is happening when the site has a lot of people on it. Perhaps the switch to the new server will prevent this happening.

GoY seems to be working well this morning :o)

~well done Ajay~everything seems to be fine!~
Best wishes for 2009!
29 Dec, 2008
All the best Peter & Ajay for 2009 from me aswell.

Gosh everybody, unfortunately I must have been around at time when those clever guys were moving us, not being tech clever myself I thought I had messed up and lost GOY,as you can see I,m here so Cheers All and thanks Peter and Ajay.
