Hello all,

As you probably would have noticed over the last week we've been having some trouble with our hosting (where our website is stored).  With thanks to 'Illori' we have moved to a new server with much faster speeds.

I also don't have the worry of us using 18gb bandwidth a month when we should only have been allowed 2gb!!!

Whilst we made the move we've had to put the forum on .org.uk as a temporary measure.  We'll go back to storing the forum on .co.uk in a few weeks.  Typing in www.NGaugeForum.co.uk will always be the main address to access the forum, so you may not even notice the difference.  :)

Thanks for your patience and for allowing this forum to grow bigger.

It may be worth noting for some that any new post notification emails could end up in their spam email box. Like mine did. I've now added the domain to my safe senders list so I will receive them all as before.

Thanks Tank and Illori. Go Team! ;D

It's great that the forum is so popular - so :thumbsup: to everyone.

And I guess we have everyone to thank for the successful raffle as the improved hosting will be one of the ways that the raffle will be helping keep the forum going and getting better. So :thumbsup: everyone again!

if it impresses anyone since we moved the forum, we have used a gig of bandwidth already.

 :o

any idea on how thats spread? i.e. if theres a lot of traffic looking for particular products (search logs) then that could help with approaching advertisers to pay for the new forum home.

just thinking out loud, ive noticed that I keep seing the top image loading, where i didnt before. I remember you mentioning something about not cashing the image. is it possible that just loading the non cashed static images is swallowing a load of B/W?

the caching has nothing to do with that specific image, as long as we are using this rotator script the image will be slightly delayed in loading. those images would not use much bandwidth at all.

ah cool, any idea on the general split?

just in terms of why people visit NGF i.e. do people come here looking for advise on how to build a layout, or what stock to buy. This info would be valuable when approaching advertisers as they would have a tangeable target audience.

I don't think you could narrow it down to those kinds of questions from looking at the statistics.  As for advertising, I should think that anyone who sells N Gauge would or should be interested.  Lots of the places that myself and the moderators have already asked either don't bother to reply, or promise to look into it, but never get back to us.  The people you see on here are the only ones who have replied positively.
