we will be performing the final migration of the tug server (forums/homepage) starting this evening/tomorrow morning @ 3am eastern time.

this is estimated to take many hours as the server is essentially taken offline and "frozen" while that image in its entirety is copied over to the new server and then that is brought online in its place.

until this is completed the tugbbs.com and tug2.net domains will be offline...fingers crossed it wont take the full estimated time (8 hours).

Thank you!
 
note the member only server is not impacted by this, so you can still read/write reviews and access the marketplace!

(great time to write a review!)
 
well it appears this finished way earlier, please report any issues you find when browsing the forum or tug2.net
 
known issue - outgoing mail is being rejected due to a mail configuration issue (outgoing mail is being rejected due to "things")...hopefully this will be sorted out quickly.

this will impact both tugbbs.com and tug2.net so essentially all outgoing mail from TUG.
 
looks like the mail issue is sorted...

one item i am noticing is that the read/unread flags might have gotten reset. so some of you may experience clicking on threads or forums that show new messages/etc...but are not. hopefully that will sort itself out as you revisit the site etc.
 
few more issues with mail just fixed now...likely caused delivery issues with forum notifications.
