Site upgrades and moving to the cloud.

[Bouncer]

Transition period to the cloud is happening now. You guys may notice some issues. It's expected tonight.

Installing tapatalk tomorrow. For those that don't know what it is. It's optimized for smart phone and tabs. We have forum runner now but I haven't been happy with it for awhile.

new server is about 20% cheaper per month and about 5 times as fast. lol. glad i decided to take the time to do this. will save me roughly $600 per year.

Lol. I've got a dedicated Ubuntu Linux PC that runs a P4. Don't use it much but when I do Linux is a light enough load to keep it fast but a server?! Lol, hell nah.

Cool. Sounds like you've got your work cut out for you. I'd offer help if I knew anything about this subject matter but I'm pretty useless here.

How about Tapatalk? Far better than Forum Runner. Renders images much more reliably, "like" functionality works, etc.

Yup, and also making a mobile version of the site in general to work better in browsers.
