SYSTEM UPDATE, Please Read...

[Unimatic1140]

Morning everyone. This weekend I want to give our new server a good test run to see how it responds.

I'm diverting all Discuss-o-Mat Traffic to here. Please still use your normal links just like you do everyday, but you will notice one difference. In your address bar instead of seeing

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

The website and social network for experts, collectors and fans of vintage and brand new automatic washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, and wringer washers.

www.automaticwasher.org

you will see

Please let me know if anything odd happens.  I will be watching closely this morning.  (Except for when we are eating Fred's Sunbeam breakfast

So far so good, redirect went smoothly.

 

[Unimatic1140]

I had to log everyone out, so please just log back in.

We should be ready to go know. So far so good, fingers crossed.

Only thing I noticed it didn't keep the "Wash" and "Spin" status.

other than that, so far so good!

 

[Unimatic1140]

Oh thanks Jay, yeah I forgot to mention, it will lose the wash/rinse/spin status as we change to over to the new server.  New ones will be recorded as you begin to click around over here.

<span style="font-size: large;">The new server seems to work fine here,Robert. My Wash,rinse,spin status worked for me for info. The "Throwing Water" tread seemed to take just a tad bit longer to load with all the photos.</span>

So far so good here too.

BTW, what Sunbeam breakfast?

 

[spankomatic]

I just opened up the "Throwing Water" thread again. It opened with all the photos in a jiffy (very fast).

Oh we're on the new server now. That's good. So far everything works great on my side.

"I will be watching closely this morning. (Except for when we are eating Fred's Sunbeam breakfast "

Robert, I don't mean to get off topic but: A sunbeam breakfast? So do you and Fred eat irons,toasters and sandwich makers now? lol. (ducks and runs) I prefer Proctor Silex myself, nothing better than a CRT monitor full of metal shavings!lol.

 

[Unimatic1140]

Yes the load speeds of pictures will be variable depending on exactly how many people are simultaneously clicking on threads, or posting.  When someone uploads a picture or downloads a large service manual this probably will slow down the site temporarily, but it will be quick and temporary.  Also at :12 minutes past ever hour the site will become very slow for 20 seconds as it backs up its database.

 

In general to me so far it seems to load pictures 50% faster than on the old server.

 

Louis I'll let Fred tell you what's for breakfast

Robert -

The 'Your Photo Album' function doesn't seem to be working properly. I wanted to add some more pictures to mine this morning, but clicking that tab just brings me back to the homepage instead of the album edit page.

Thanks for keeping us all informed and for being so diligent with this!

So far all is good here Robert! Tell us more about that Sunbeam breakfast!!

 

[Unimatic1140]

Photo album should be working now.  Just when you think you've checked everything, nope lol.  Although come to think of it I haven't copied over the last changes to the albums so it might be a few days back. 

 

Terry I'm sure Fred will let us all know when he's had a chance.  He's doing important vacuum club work now!

 

Just so its clear, it is all safe to continue posting in all threads across the forums.  Resume normal reading and posting everyone.

 

[kenmoreguy64]

It's working Robert, thanks! HAPPY WEEKEND!

[Unimatic1140]

Happy Weekend all.

 

Since Fred is busy now making our Sunbeam breakfast, I'll tell now...

 

It consists of:

 

Coffee in the Sunbeam Coffeemaster,

Sausage cooked in the Sunbeam Controlled Heat Automatic Fry pan,

Standard Sunbeam Waffle receipe mixed in a model 11 Sunbeam Mixmaster,

and of course

Sunbeam Waffles cooked in the Sunbeam Waffle Baker!

 

all these appliances listed above are from the early to mid 1950s!  Yay!

 

mmmmm, good for a winter morning!

 

 

[polkanut]

What?!?!,

No fresh juice using the juicer attachment for your Mixmaster? I'm very disappointed. :-(

 

[supremewhirlpol]

Oh, I see what you mean now. I bet that's how I cracked my molar, darn toasters! lol

 

[mattl]

I noticed something was different.  I had to log in, and Firefox asked if I wanted to save my password, only does that on new sites.  Also everything looked off, all my formatting was gone, and the AEB was switched off.  I clicked CTRL +  a few times and thing are looking normal again!

 

Enjoy your weekend sunbeam breakfast.  Now that I know how to adjust my Sunbeam waffle maker, I just have to figure out how to remove the control knob that has 50+ years of gunk holding it on.  BTW, thanks for posting the repair instructions!  I might make waffles in it tomorrow!

 

 

Note:  Am I wrong  or is the Icon missing from the site address?  I used tabbed browsing and I thought that the agitator icon used to show up on the tab, as it does in the bookmark.  Now I only getting a blank page icon in the upper left of the tab.
