FYI: Mallcrawlin will be unavailable for part of this weekend. Some of you may recall over a month ago when the server it resides on was compromised due to a vulnerability in the mail client. The server hasn't been the same since, and instead of investing wasted time into repairing it which would only cause more downtime, I'm moving MallCrawlin over to my new Linux server. I'm hoping it only takes me a couple of hours, but since VB acts quite differently on Windows servers and Linux servers, I'm expecting some problems to arise.

I don't know exactly when I'll be doing this. I'm doing a test install of VB on the new server right now and importing this database. As soon as that goes well and proves to be stable, I'll be pulling this site over.

During the migration, depending on your Internet Service Provider, you might be routed to the old server for a little while even after the site has been moved. That's just the nature of the way the Internet works, sorry I can't fix everything :finga:

Well I was working on it from 5m yesterday until 5am this morning (no joke.) Up at 9:30am again and back to it. I've got most of the framework in place, but migrating the database has proben to be A BITCH! As soon as I work out some glitches in the code I should get this moved...
