The upgrade/backup has finally completed - it took longer than expected as we found a 70gb folder of images and videos. Fortunately there were no major issues with this part.

We have asked the server guys to transfer to the new server at 21.00 Thai Time on Tuesday 16th February 2021.

This could take anything from a couple of hours to, well who knows.

Once the transfer is complete there are almost always "issues" but once its back we will start a thread where members can notify us of things missing or not working. 

Once "stable" we will turn as many of the 3rd Party plugins back on that have been missing recently as we can. Some are out of date so it wont be all but again we will do what we can.

Please bear with us - its never straightforward but we will do our best to keep the downtime to a minimum.

It might be worthwhile to check whether there are (still active) links to the items in that folder. There is a very good chance about half is orphaned by now.

Yes, good point, but if there are no links it doesn’t really matter and running that check would take even longer than transfer anyway. Besides which it’s done now ❤️

True but many hours to check. Sure the transfer took days but it was only 1 second work I.e turning it on.

I get your point though.

I still have many images not viewable, are these still indexing?

With automated checking and transferring if used, it would have taken anywhere from half an hour to a couple of hours to write a script, but done is done.
