        I think I’m about ready to move the site from the current (old) server to the waiting new server. If all goes to plan, there will be no downtime but there will be a period of several hours when anything posted or changed on the site will revert as soon as the server move is complete.

        Don’t worry, I will warn everyone when this begins. You’ll still be able to read posts, view photos and videos etc. during this time, but interactions will be forgotten.

          I now know this won’t be happening today. I moved one of my other sites (much smaller and simpler) last night, and it took much longer than I expected. I’ll keep you all updated and I’m still hoping to have this done before the weekend.

                  Thank you 🙂 I think I’m going to need it.

                  So, too many things to do today. I might be able to start the cloning tonight (copying the entire site to the new server) and then activate it tomorrow but I don’t want to rush it and mess it up. This is pretty much a one-shot deal, and the consequences of getting it wrong could me the site being down for days while I attempt to rebuild it.
