Default to change server (server 3)

as you also experience the fact that server 3 is down.. so is there any possibility of moving my forum to another server without changing its contents..

You can't change the server without losing your forum content, and the registration on server #4 is now disabled, you'll register on server #15 , But i don't recommend you to change the server and lose your work. Forumer.com always fix any bug reported, and this bug is already reported and they are working on it. Server #4 Also was having some troubles, and bugs, images & links wasn't working, It was running too slowly, but now it's fixed. Please be patient.
Thanks for choosing forumer.com

Sure it will, try not to worry! Server four is OK but like all other servers it does have downtime (having said that it does load)

Thank You Elmazagangi,

I did a Search to find the answer to this (switching servers) and couldn't find an answer.

Much appreciation for clarifying

Thank You.

That really makes no sense. Forumer has the Databases on the Server, so they can relocate content without losing anything. Remember, whomever "owns" the Database can indeed move it without losing a single post.

When Limez makes the decision to move the whole server he will tell us all. He is probably exhausting all options to try and fix this error that is happening on server 3. Things will get better...they always do. It may take a while but they do get better. I know no matter what I say to you guys nothing can take away the anger you feel right now.

The set up of the databases makes things more complicated that that, and thus not something Forumer can do for you. Sorry, if you want to change servers you'll simply need to start over.

Please do not PM me for support.

No, it's not complicated at all to move a database. I've done it with straight FTP and some simply use Cpanel, though it's not necessary. All you need is a backup of your mysql database.
