Forum updates - On going thread!

Admin

Good to know. I was curious as to why it was so hard to get onto this site as of late. Even other members were sending me messages about it. Hope the breadcrumb links will also be back up soon. ;)

The forum is becoming popular and our VPS isn't able to handle a tone of connections. Looks like we'll need to upgrade our web-hosting soon.

Change made to make our site more 'mobile device friendly'. People on smaller devices should love this.

This change is in beta. Any bugs or glitches you experience, please leave your feedbacks below. Screen shot'ing the problem will also help me.

This update follows what we talked about years back:

This is just a heads-up for those of you who own websites, Google has began giving "priority" to mobile-friendly sites. This basically means if your website is not considered "mobile-friendly", it could impact your rankings. They have began giving priority to mobile friendly sites, even if others content is better. :-\

With that said, Bellyinc is classed as "mobile-friendly" website but let's face it, the forum isn't the best of experiences for mobile/ tablet users. I am looking to change this soon. Testing this on my local machine...

It's finally here!

12/10/2017 - Added 'NoFollow' attribute onto external hyperlinks .

-What does it mean for you? Reduction in spam (hopefully, fingers-crossed).

-Reason this was added: mainly to reduce spam and avoid donating 'page-rank' to third-party websites which we're not affliated with. As a result this will reduce spam or at the very least, render their promotional efforts useless.

Hello folks,

Re: Website uptime.

Just wanted to give everyone an update. We're aware that there are issues on the website which has mean't that our website is not running as 'smoothly' as it should. This is because the website is growing in popularity. We've started working with a new web hosting provider and over the coming few weeks we'll be switching over to them. Hopefully this means that our services will improve over time.

Thank you for your patience.

Expect down times for a few hours! We've enabled a security feature to help with our overall website performance.

28/10/2017 - Apologies, for the bumpy ride. We've been rest assured that access to our website will slowly be returned across the interwebs. It had to be done. Most of you should already be able to access bellyinc.com. :)

Whenever DNS domain name changes are made it takes a good couple of hours for our servers to sync again.

I was starting to worry. o.o It kept going down and up for me, all the time. Was weird.

Sodo I should have given an advance notice to everyone, so my apologies for not doing that. I did however update twitter whilst this was happening.

This all came about suddenly, basically a few days ago, I was talking to one of my mates about our forum and he sugguested a security feature so it was a last minute thing. I wanted to add this as quick as possible so I could enjoy my weekend. By that I mean, gaming it away. ;D

Good news is that the process has completed. I am already seeing an small improvement in performance. Best part, it was free.

I was worried! But I've also been worried that new articles aren't being published! I haven't written one for the first of November since the October one hasn't been acknowledged yet

Site news:

First of all, our apologies. As you folks may be aware, we experienced a service black out for a few days. As a result, Bellyinc is currently down for maintenance. We're in the process of moving web-host where we'll be on a much bigger server set-up and be able to accommodate more visitors.

**I expect the transfer to take roughly two weeks. In the mean time, we've enabled access for members only.**

Don't ever scare us like that again! I've been going through withdrawal for the last four days!

Admin

I wish I could say it was my fault folks. :P

We had a surge of traffic which basically began killing off other websites on our web-host platform and they freaked out and disable our website for safety.

I don't blame them, but this uncovered that there was another major issue with our forum which was causing memory spikes. I have attempted to fix it. But I can not make any guarantees... lets just ride this out.

ppfd

So we should expect to only have access to the site for about 20 minutes a week until further notice? :-\

MikeBrooklyn

Please, stop playing games with us! I can only take this for so long!

Admin

Apologies Mike, I am monitoring the website and let me assure you, the website is safe and we're not closing down any time soon.

ppfd I rather not limit users time on the forum, just enjoy the website as you normally do - this way I get a more realistic feedback if there are any further issues.

If I spot additional memory leaks, I will need to disable access again so i can work on it.

Again, my apologies for the inconvenience.

Glad to finally have some answers... AND the site back! ;D
