Transference complete..

We're back!

Monday, March 21, 2005 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News

T-man and Nakor have successfully migrated the new servers over.  Hopefully things will soon be significantly faster and more reliable than before. Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be able to set up new servers.  In case you're wondering, the colo we were at was literally out of electrical power that they could spare to new servers. So as all of the Stardock servers got busier, there was not much we could do to speed things up other than try to optimize code further and further.

Now we can look forward to faster and more reliable service. This speed increase was brought to you by WinCustomize premium subscribers! Thank you very much!

Haven't seen any broken images yet, just a slower request-to-load start time.

Loading is fast as soon as it starts.

Everything seems to be goin good so far guys. But I DO have one thing I would like to ask you... Before the move, I could see everything without having to scroll left or right. Now it seems as if the site is only in some resolution much higher than my 1024x768. Is this temporary? Or am I hallucinating?

Visitor Hazylunarrain  ...most pages 'should' look OK at 1024x768.....now and then an image may cause you to scroll...eg the desktop thread...

Strange - I use 800x600 and rarely do I have to scroll!
