RMweb Gold McC Posted March 31, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 31, 2022 Congratulations on getting back online Team! I sincerely hope this is motivation for the big RMweb parents to realise that a site the scale of here needs proper architecture, investment and management and hopefully the bills from Invision won't be too big! 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 In one shocking piece of news some may have missed in the past week @Andrew P has ripped up Bute Road, to be replaced by one or two smaller layouts. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold DaveF Posted March 31, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 31, 2022 Many thanks for all your hard work, as well as those helping you. I'm looking forward to posting again. I have copies of all my images so I can put them back, probably as new posts. David 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold StuAllen Posted March 31, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 31, 2022 Thanks to Andy and the RMWeb team for getting the site up and working again. Quite surprised how much I missed it when not there. Now are there any new Accurascale announcements that I’ve missed… 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 47137 Posted March 31, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, AY Mod said: The uploaded images from the last year could, sadly, not be recovered from Dediserve. Older images should be largely intact although further checks are being made. Users will be able to edit earlier posts and re-upload images if they wish. It’s far from ideal and I’m furious with Dediserve for their failings in this regard. I started my blog in March 2015 and images are missing going back to the first post. Efforts spread over seven years seem to be ruined. I wonder ... can I expect to see any of my missing photos restored during the next month or so? So I can decide whether to accept my losses, or try to rebuild the blog, or abandon the project altogether. - Richard.

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted March 31, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31, 2022 As a nuts and bolts engineer I can only imagine what it took to sort this out, nothing you can hit with a hammer (bar Dediserve's managers). Well done, and I hope you get your holiday back, Andy Y! 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted March 31, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 31, 2022 Well done to all that got it sorted. Is the lost data permanent? As they have messed you about so much is it worth looking at other hosts ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunwurken Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Well done in getting the site up and running again. One small irritation, I am still getting intrusive adverts. I use a Kindle Fire. Malcolm 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 97406 Posted March 31, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 31, 2022 Ooh, it’s good to have RMWeb back. Thanks to Andy for his hard work, and I’ll try and re-upload my pics to my own thread over the coming weeks. Good riddance to “Dead-from-the-neck-up-iserve”, I say. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they have messed you about so much is it worth looking at other hosts ? As Andy has said, they have moved the hosting from Dediserve to Invision. Unfortunately, the images from the last year can't be recovered due to Dediserve's data centre failure, but everything before that is backed up, so should be OK. However i'm sure it's a huge amount of data to process through, so I wouldn't expect all the photos to display for at least a week while the system in the background re-indexes everything. I should add my thanks too, to Andy and the team for all their hard work to get RMWeb back up and running so quickly after such a catastrophic failure. I am indebted to Andy's forethought to back up the SQL database, as I would never have remembered all the word i'd written over the past 6 years. Fortunately I have kept copies of all the photos I ever uploaded locally, so they can be re-uploaded if any are missing. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nothing to do with the migration.

RMweb Premium SR71 Posted March 31, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31, 2022 Yay. RM's back. My eBay account can take a step back from the hammering it's been getting.

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted March 31, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 31, 2022 Glad to see the forum back. My Gold membership status appears to have vanished though, but small fry compared to getting the thing running again.

It is interesting that the old images report 'Access Denied' rather than not found when you click on an old image link and try to open it in another window.
