FORUM MIGRATION - Seven - 12-20-2017
We're back!
Nothing's changed, apart from that pesky link on the URL bar there... Who on earth is "lx-fx.co.uk"? Well, that's my website. Now you're all stuck with me.
This may be a temporary fix if our old web host decides to sort the old databases out, however I don't charge and we're all back online. Happy days! If you stumble across any issues, post them here or send me a PM or an email, whatever and I'll get it fixed.
Thanks to Vim for saving a backup of the old databases and forums the hard way and for pointing the link to my server. After about 6 hours solid graft from both of us, it's time for me to go to bed!

Splendid work Seven. Must've burnt a few brain cells there.

I had to teach Vim how to export the forums first, that was great fun teaching a newbie the (kill)joys of forum migration. I think he probably smoked about 4 cigarettes just getting through it!
I was like "I am NOT sleeping until this works!" Then out of nowhere the silliest setting just makes it all work and I'm like "Yaaaaay!".

Basically what I think happened is the old host did a server migration of their own and failed to move the databases properly resulting the the error we were seeing. Or, they updated something and it just broke. Whatever happened, Vim's contacted their customer support multiple times and they've failed to reply to him so I decided enough was enough, set up an AA folder on my server so that we could get AA back online ourselves.
Tbh even if the old host does decide to fix the issue I think it would be easier to stay on my server 'cause I don't charge and I actually respond to questions!
It won't take me 10 days to fix the server if anything goes das boom.

Right, so I'm not alone in 'being ignored on tech support'
Perhaps their upgrade also broke their ticket system and they are blissfully unaware of any problem

Under construction, Mikke. Fixing issues by creating more issues!
