New Web Server coming

[Jerry]

I also to want to say thank you for those who have donated in the last few days. Our annual web costs have gone from:

Old Shared Web Server + Repo
$428 per annum

to:

New Dedicated Web Server + Repo
$968 per annum

This excludes paying web developers to assist with code which adds another $700 - $1000 per year to existing Web Server costs.
If you can't afford to donate, that's perfectly ok too, just leave ads on for our site and Forums if you don't mind. Every little bit helps.

Your contributions have made a massive difference

Great to hear @whateverthing @Vera 

Something that has always bothered me, has now been adjusted. The Hardware Database page now loads much quicker. It does not need to load the entire database on the page. It now works more as it is expected to, as a Search page. https://www.linuxliteos.com/hardware.php This will free up database services on the new web server too.

A huge improvement that I've noticed on the new server is that if I get an email notification that someone mentioned me in a forum post, I can navigate successfully from the email to the forum post. In the previous version if I clicked on the email link, I'd get a notice saying I didn't have permission to view the post. So I'd instead have to laboriously go to the home page of forum and try to remember where I needed to go from there.

This is a HUGE improvement that we can click through on email notifications now. Thanks!

Yes, navigating the forum seems very responsive, very quick load times -- from here in the US, west coast.

I can tell you that for me is as fast as servers I have sitting in my LAN; seriously. The server response time is terrific.

The equivalent of LAN speeds you say? I can live with that

On another note, have you guys noticed a more responsive, faster Forums? I'm in NZ and it's definitely snappier here.

Hi Jerry,


Not been around much, family matters, but do pop in now and then to see how things are going.
I get the following when click on the "show new replies to your posts"





Keep up the great work...

Not getting that here @Wirezfree Will see if others report the issue too.

[Jerry]

I need to work on the Social Media icons some more, they'll be disabled for now.

[Jerry]

@firenice03 green icons - thanks I'll fix that up.
