In preparation for our move to the new server, this news server will shortly
be made 'read only' as the contents are copied to the new one and the DNS
records changed.

If you find you cannot connect, or you can but you can't post, then you'll
know the reason.

You will know you have connected to the new server if you see a followup
to this message from me saying as much ... that message won't be posted on
the old one. Apart from that there ought to be no visible change. Article
numbers will stay the same.

Looks exactly like the old one to me ;)
It did go ultra-smooth (from my end at least).

The web interface is still down, right? or stuck at 2 days ago content?

Hmm, lets see...

The web news view pages say:
>>>
NOTE: We are currently moving to a new server.
For this reason, during the next few days the web news view may lag behind
the contents of the news server itself.
<<<

That pretty much sums it up ;-)

Yes, mr. smartypants, but the notes above suggested a completedness to the
tasks.  I was trying to ask about that.

... and the web server says "during this time" [during the transition], the
web server may lag behind the other version.

Would you rather they just remove it altogether? If you keep complaining about
it...

"So help me or I'll drive this car right off a cliff," said the lemming
father to the unruly kids.


Have I complained about the work the admins are doing?  I objected to
RTFM'ing a reasonable query.

Chris' note implied a completion to the transition, but the web server
doesn't merely "lag,"   it's stuck at a few days ago.

"When in God's name will you be done with it, Michelangelo?" inquired
Pope Julius II della Rovere.

"When it is finished your Eminence. When it is finished..." replied
Michelangelo Buonarroti.
