Forum now on new server

Due to a potential security vulnerability with our forum host, which could have resulted in the complete loss of our entire system and database, we have had to move our forum to a new server. This should not affect your account in anyway, and no data has been compromised – so you should be able to log on using your existing username and password as normal. If however you experience any problems, please email Dan: drunkmunkey6969@yahoo.co.uk

The new forum will be missing a couple features/posts until we have time to re-develop and re-install those features, but for the most part this should not be noticeable to most users and will hopefully not hamper your enjoyment of the forum or its content.

IMPORTANT: If you receive any unsolicited emails asking you to log into a new forum that is NOT the original www.scooterotica.org forum, then please disregard, delete and report as spam. If you are unsure about your log in procedure then simply go through the www.scooterotica.co.uk main page and click the forum tab. Please email Dan with any questions.

Many Thanks

Dan Clare (drunkmunkey6969) & Sean Brady (Sean Brady Scooters) – Scooterotica Admin/Owners.

Yes....propogation (the switch over) takes up to 24 hrs and we started it last night....its a gradual process for each user, so throughout the day people will start popping up here one by one. But it varies between providers/IP addreses etc as to when each one re-directs here.

Hopefully by tomorrow all will have settled down and traffic will start to flow again.....and then we will look at some exciting developments for the forum! ;o)

Much faster and no annoying screen refresh flickers or partial loads, so far.
