During the next couple of weeks I'll be migrating TWO and the forum to cloud based servers because the existing hardware is going out of support. What that means for you:

1) Once the DNS records are pointed at the new servers it could take up to 48 hours for some of you to move across, however in most cases it will be much quicker. Because of the lag some of you may make posts to the old database server after the migration cut off point, therefore those posts will be lost. 

2) There could be some service disruption and snagging issues.

3) You will not need to re-register for the forum or update any of your bookmarks. 

4) I'll add a label at the bottom of pages published by the new servers saying "On TWO cloud" so you will know you have moved.

EDIT: 23/10 I'm expecting to move TWO across to its new server environment between 27/10 and 30/10. 

Thanks Brian.

And so a new era of TWO begins.

Thanks Brian.

Where else would a weather forum be but in the cloud?

On a Sun server? 

LOL, when I read the title I thought you were shutting the forum down for a second then, Brian.

Anyway, good to see you're not and also good to see that the forum is being updated!

Useful tool here for those interested in watching the new TWO servers propagate around the world.

Fascinating tool.  Thanks Brian. 

Thanks Brian.

I'm intending to move TWO tomorrow morning. Key things to remember are:

1) There definitely will be some snagging issues

2) It could take some of you up to 48 hours to move across but in most cases it should be MUCH quicker
