Just to make you aware - so that you aren't alarmed if you find i2eye offline in the next couple of days -

The following was posted on the InvisionFree/ZetaBoard Support Forum:

All boards will be temporarily offline as we upgrade our servers. This upgrade process is expected to take 1-2 hours. We'll be scheduling this upgrade in the next 12-72 hours.

We'll make an additional announcement as we're able to confirm the timing of this upgrade.

We're excited for this enhancement for both the IF and ZB service. These new servers should provide a new level of reliability and speed for you and your users.

The Zathyus team


No updates have been posted since, so I don't have any more information as to when the upgrades will be.

Thank you,
The i2eye Fan Fiction Team

Thank you for your patience as we work toward upgrading all InvisionFree and Zetaboards servers. Until these upgrades are complete your forum may become inaccessible for a period of time.

We've completed the server upgrade process for server 15. All boards on s15 are now running on the new hardware. We'll continue to update you as we progress further in the upgrade process.

BTW, we are not on server 15 but on server 3. As I read this, it means they have completed the server upgrade process ONLY for server 15 - so we should still expect to be offline for two hours or so at some point.

This was also posted on the support board:

This was a hardware upgrade only. New, more powerful servers where placed to speed everything up and allow for more / bigger forums on each server.
We did not update the software, so no bugs are now fixed, no new features are now available. Nothing has changed, except the servers are now faster.

As many of you may already know, the server we are on was upgraded earlier today.

If you encounter any problems or notice anything strange/out of the ordinary, please let us know by replying to this thread or PM'ing tis*me!.

Just a note, I have already found that clicking on the link for Active Topics is not currently working for some reason.

Thanks,
The i2eye Fan Fiction Team

P.S. Also if I include the exact name of Active Topics (with the 'Today's' before it) it is automatically appending a link to Today's Top 10 Posters in this post. :wacko:

The problem with Active Topics has been fixed.
Also, you should notice everything being faster (in terms of load/post time).
