Ok on the mobile using Brave but the PC Brave is suffering with ultra slow links sometimes timing out and displaying Request Timeout :?
EDIT: Spoke too soon, mobile gone snail like too. Shows 500 Server runtime error

I think the service went down for a while earlier with the server 500 error, as Mike is trying to sort things. I got caught with a long formatted post that luckily I saved elsewhere before I lost it.

We'll have to expect some disruption until the remaining issues are worked out as this was a major update and transfer.
Please note, I'm no longer active on the Forum, so won't respond to messages.

No problem at all, exceedingly grateful that Mike is keeping things going anyway, it is 4.20am in NZ so hopefully he's getting some well deserved sleep!! :)

I have just changed a server setting that was probably causing sessions to hang. The default value for that setting is stupidly low.

I then had to reboot the server to clean out all the hung processes.

Yup, lightning fast.

It is looking good here, the new server should be significantly faster and has 2x the processor cores and 2x the RAM of the old one. It just seems to be idling with the current load,
