Ssshh… be berry, berry quiet we're switching servers…

In our continuing efforts to better serve the growing Tripawds community, we are migrating to a (much) more powerful – and more expensive –  web server, which should address certain performance and connectivity issues around here lately. We hope to make this migration as quick and painless as possible, but the Tripawds blogs and discussion forums may be temporarily offline.   

We have successfully moved our Tripawds Testing Grounds site to the new server.

We will be relocating all our other sites before we move Tripawds, so now is the time to help us test things and provide feedback on functionality over there.

Note: Yellow page background indicates the mirror site. User accounts on the test site may be out of sync. Request password to avoid being blocked by server due to multiple failed login attempts. Members who have joined with the past 18± months may need to register for a test account. Provide any feedback in the tech support forum there or reply here. Ignore certain styling issues, we're working on that separate issue.

Anyone care to help us check it out before the big move?

2012 Server Migration

Stay tuned for a scheduled downtime announcement. Thank you for your continued support.

Many thanks to a future Tripawds advertiser who has helped make these infrastructure enhancements possible.

Thanks to those who have provided feedback in the test forums. Anypawdy else care to help us ensure a smooth transition? If so, check out the Tripawds test site and  chime in here.

If all goes well, migration should take place next week. Stay tuned for updates.

If you see "aspen" on the logo at top, you're viewing this site on our new and improved server! If not, you likely need to just force-reload the page or clear your cache. If after that you still see "elm" then you probably won't be reading this post and the forums are still locked, or it will just be a matter of time for DNS propagation to complete.

In other words, We should be seeing a vast improvement in performance around here!

Many thanks to those of you who helped test things out with us.
