Figures - that explains why posts started going astray a few months ago, with Windoze tossing stuff in the bit bucket. Before that, things were smooth with a real server on a real OS...

As posted in another thread, I will have an announcement regarding ehMac server in about a couple of weeks.

I can let you know that:

1. I will not be running ehMac on a Windows server but will be running on Unix.
2. I will be running ehMac on a faster server than before.
3. There will be a new Tech Admin running the technical side of the site that has many years of experience with vBulletin and has been admin for years for some HUGE vBulletin forums much bigger than ehMac.

Yeah, but why not just change back to the old servers? There where very very few issues. All this crap of making ehMac better is making it worse. All thanks to PCWORLD Canada. Why do they call themselves MacWorld Canada when they run on Windows Server 2003?

And No ehMax i wont let this one pass by.

I never noticed a difference from the first time you said that... Well atleast at first anyways. That is until the site got more bloated with a new less-efficient design.

In fact the new site makes this site nice and slow on my Pismo.

MacWorld Canada has brought barely anything good to ehMac.ca compared to what they screwed us over on.

Good
-Contests
-Not much else D:

Bad
-A junky Windoze based server
-Wierd issues where posts wont show up
-wierd double posts
-new design
-Slower on older Macintosh Computers.
-WINDOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morgan

PS: you know whats sad? I had a feeeeeeeling that something was up and the site was running Windows. Looks like I was right after some investigation D:

I say, lets use the old PROPER server, not some crappy new WINDOZE server.

I agree. I don't even understand what this whole Macworld Canada partnership is all about.

Why not ask for some donations? At least we can get a good Mac OS Server-based system and have this site run by the community, not some PC-oriented company pretending to "be Mac".

Relax and breathe people.

While I'm never excited to have anything to do with Windows, the issues are not caused simply by being on a Windows server.

As I stated, we soon will be running on a Unix server, just like before, and I will have a new vBulletin professional looking after the site (A Canadian from Kelowna, BC). I will also be with a host that really closely manages and monitors the server.

At any rate, I will have an announcement soon with even more details. Until then, please keep posts respectful.
