MIGWeb Server Updates

[Tathan]

The removal of vBSEO will mean that most URLs on this site have now changed. The software made URLs content specific so that search engines ranked the pages better. We are now back on the default system. As a result, any bookmarks or links the MIG that you made that were URLs adjusted by vBSEO, will no loner work. This includes links in signatures, links you posted on other forums, links in old notification emails etc. Please update these links if you can.

If you find any problems with the site, let me know here.

Thanks.

All the Google results for Mig are 404s at the moment so the Google search option is redundant at the moment. How long does it normally take for the GoogleBotArmy to update?

[MikeWarner]

Hopefully not too long.

Which pages is this happening? Maybe you are blocking the Google banners?

not blocking any to my knowledge it does it on ever page of mig now. i still see the add for virgin money at the top ive emptied the cache etc will probably sort itself out if its google related....its whatever it loads last as its 1 item remaining

EDIT: every now and then instead of a massive number it has "googlesyndication" in the address so i guess it is just them..

[MikeWarner]

Sounds like it. I have seen it every now and then.

Can we have the "thread subscribed" tick back?

[Rob]

Instead of the tick, the envelope on the left of the page shouws what you are subscribed to

[Tathan]

Mike, have you sorted peace on earth and goodwill to all men yet?

[MikeWarner]

Instead of the tick, the envelope on the left of the page shouws what you are subscribed to

Just go to your CP to view subscriptions.

[Rob]

I do. I use it all the time but I think there's so many people who dont!

Make sure that if you use the 'usercp' that you are set to subscribe to threads!

[MikeWarner]

I have turned of the new PM notification feature as this causes 1 extra query on every page that is loaded. Turning this off will help to reduce overall server load. Sorry if this an inconvenience.

For those lost without this feature, I suggest adding you CP as you favorites in your browser instead of the forum main page. This way you will see straight away if there are new PMs - also, if you subscribe to threads, you will see if there has been any activity.

Cheers.

Sorry about the site slow down just now, I needed to run a database error check and optimisation which was well over due.

Sorry about the server slow down just then - just sent 4000 emails to active users about the new Engine and Transmission forum. Didn't think it would cause quite such a load on the server! D'oh! I'll wait till gone midnight next time I do that.
