Boards Downtime Explained

Recommended Posts

You may be asking why the boards were down for a half hour tonight. The reason is because I was BETA testing a merging program that JJ from Nexigen and I were working on. These are the results.

The threads from PKIU came over and merged with the threads already on PKIC. The only problem that was encountered with that was that they were out of order.

Users: We discovered that if you have both a PKIC and PKIU account, your PKIC account is dominant. Your member number on PKIC stayed. If you do not have a PKIC account but a PKIU account, you were added at the end of the PKIC accounts. Your signatures, profile info, and contact info stayed merged perfectly.

Post Count: They did not merge. If you had a PKIC account and a PKIU account, your PKIC number would be your final one. PKIU only accounts kept there PKIU post count.

The PKIUnlimited boards are down because we are moving servers, and whenever Aaron gets to changing the nameservers, it should take one to two days.

Keep it locked on PKICentral.com as we have some very big things that you will be seeing in a week or two. :cowboy:

Cool, so if you have accounts with the same name on both, it erases all of your posts from over at PKIU? If you have a different screen name over on PKIU can you merge the accounts, and will the post numbers then be added?

I look forward to seeing what details emerge from this test and what the future holds.

If you have a account on both, your PKIC post count remains intact, but your post will be moved over here. Mow If it is that important to you, we can manually add your post count from PKIU and add it to your on PKIC.

To clear everything up, the PKIU boards are TEMPORARILY offline because we are switching servers, if we kept the boards open while we did this then all the posts from now until the switch finalizes would be erased and lost forever. The PKIU boards will open back up when PKI Unlimited has fully switched to the nexigen servers. When will that happen, well first we need Aaron to change the DNS info so that it will point to our servers, then the change can occur. The PKIU boards will be back up in a (hopefully) short amount of time, but nonetheless, they will be back up.
