Website Maintenance - Saturday 18 April 2026

[DonsTalk Admin]

The DonsTalk website will be moving servers on Saturday 18 April 2026 (the weekend of the Scottish Cup semi-finals - no more needs to be said about that! )

There will be a brief period of downtime during the transfer between 2pm and 4pm on Saturday afternoon. It may take a few hours for the website to reappear as we point the donstalk.co.uk address to the new server.

We're doing this ahead of a major forum upgrade taking place during the summer break.

At this rate probably the only positive Dons-related upgrade we can look forward to in the summer.   Can someone try turning Dave Cormack off and back on again please.

Should this be in the "Rules & Announcement" forum?

As per the Rules and Regulations post in the aforementioned forum, section 8:

Quote

8. Please post topics in the correct forums. If you are unsure, choose the one that best describes what you want to post about. If we feel you have posted in the incorrect forum, we will move it to the correct one. It's not a major problem if you do make a mistake in this instance, however, if we feel an individual is continually posting in the incorrect forum in order to antagonise, action will be taken.

The forum maintenance is now completed.

Thanks for that, it is appreciated. I know from experience that folk rarely thank IT staff for changes that work fine and don't cause issues.
