    New Path for Update, Happening Soon (I hope)

    For the last year the site has definitely had some issues, we had to move to a new server in 01/23 and the new server's MySQL version conflicted with our older software which caused the slow loading or failures to load as well as odd text and exceptions.
    I have been working with the developers of our forum software to update to a current version since May of 2023 but that has taken far longer than it should have due to the proprietary control panel on the new server.

    Rather than continuing on what has been too long a path to make the updated software work on our private server I?m switching gears.
    I?m moving to cloud hosting with vBulletin. This should not only resolve the current issues but improve our update process as they will be installing updates, patches and upgrades automatically.

    Barring any unexpected problems this transition will be occurring this month. According to vB's answer to yesterday's question I sent
    'You can start by purchasing the Gold Plan, and we will manually upgrade you to the custom Enterprise Plan we discussed after.
    Please let us know once you have purchased so we can initiate the upgrade and migration.'

    I will be starting the process today by purchasing the cloud subscription, as soon as I hear of a definitive time for the upgrade and migration I will post it here, on calguns.org and on the Calguns Members group on FB.

    This is a test of our layout, minus our specific color set since I can not upload files to the trial server.

        I’ve noticed, in the past week or so, the site runs much faster. Though I still get question marks in stead of quote marks. Progress, I guess.

            No. itrader was an add-on for vB 3 - this is moving to vB 6, I believe.

                  Site is running much faster but signing in is a major problem on PC as well as mobile. Multiple sign-in attempts continuously recycle me to the sign-in page, over and over and over again. Only way around it is to click on a sub forum, then click on profile, then search the site.

                  As great as this site is for the wisdom of the membership - and it has no peer - it is just that bad for access. Like dial-up levels of terrible.

                    May the cloud migration finally resolve the question mark characters, database errors, and site performance issues.
