So I've made some queries with the host company and as I suspected, the server that ADU is hosted on is nearing maximum capacity (more so for larger database driven forums such as ADU).
The solution? We will be staying with the same host company but relocating to a new server to better handle the increases in traffic and the ever growing data base.
This will more than likely involve some down time (for those that it means anything to, it involves changing nameservers) which can sometimes take 24-48hrs for your ISP to update.
I'll keep you informed in this thread as to when the relocation will be happening.
Thanks for your patience on this matter, and hopefully it will be resolved soon.
Congratulations to Alasse, our February photo competition winner. There were some great photos this time around. Thanks to all the members that entered, and also to everyone who voted.
It is with great pleasure again, that I can welcome our latest sponsor to our rapidly growing forums. livefish.com.au are a well respected online business within the aquarium hobby, and I'm more than pleased to advertise their business here at ADU.
Many of you may have previously used livefish.com.au for purchasing quality live stock, including fish & plants, as well as food, accessories or even a gift voucher for that special fish addict in your life!.
Again, I appreciate our members support of livefish.com.au and all of our sponsors, and trust you will be more than satisfied with their products & services.
A big thanks also goes out to Daniel from livefish.com.au for his support to ADU.
It is with great pleasure that I welcome The Reef Shop as our latest sponsor. Paul has been kind enough to include a link to ADU on his online store, which no doubt will generate new visitors to our forums.
I personally have used The Reef Shop before, and can happily say that their prices and service are second to none. They have a great range of quality products from market leaders in the industry. I appreciate our members support of The Reef Shop, and trust you will be more than satisfied with their services.
Congratulations to Ram75, the lucky winner of the July photo competition. Your copy of the latest edition of Australian Aquarium Magazine is on its way!
