i've disabled the addon :/
@chompy:
can we please just disable the delete and the pm?
Checking the link is fine - but until it's not working 100%, we actually don't want to do something special.

I hope this will speed up the page-load for at least for a few of us.
More or less it's like this:
Since there could still be errors: Please report - also if the connection is extremely slow.
Unfortunately we don't have the money to setup 2 or 3 locations with a large database in the middle to provide a fast solution for everyone. Also DMCA & such things ...
edit
Totally forgotten... it will take some time till the new DNS-Servers are available to your provider. So please only start reporting in about a day ^^''
edit2
already propagated to most of the test-pages.
Site-Load-Speed looks good from asia, us and eu.
Asia has (I don't now why) a bad "First Byte Time" (grade F); EU and US it still grade C or B.
Everything else looks good, except i could configure HSTS

More or less it's like this:
- Asia and Oceania will be routed to the asia servers
- EU/Africa/North America/Antarctica will be routed to the europen ones.
- Everything will be provided an ip via round-robbin.

Oh; I can recycle this thread - nice!
After a few years on the current infrastructure - we need to move again.
The increased pricing and resources we need (more than 1TB of storage, 100GB Database, ~20TB traffic) are forcing us to move providers.
I will try to have as little downtime as possible.
Also, I will activate IPv6 - at least for the European frontend, I got some addresses from a different provider.
The Asian ones do not provide them, and i didn't find one, that don't care that much about DMCA and have Ipv6
a tor-Node could also be on the roadmap; if you want to have one.
Updates will be in this thread; or in the info, when the board is offline.

- I will first move the database-cluster to the new systems. The old Frontend will then use the new Databases a few milliseconds away from the old ones- the forum might feel a bit sluggish.
Expected Downtime: ~3h - After that, I will move the data in the live-system
(in theory, you should not have any impact on the forum). - then I will upgrade to the newest software version
we will probably lose some plugins; but there are some serious security issues we have to address urgently; I will try my best to get a replacement for all available plugins...
Expected downtime: ~4h

Well... I need to buy another server;
the 3rd database-node is f***ing slow
until then (probably a few hours) the system is back online on 2/3 of a cluster.
As already mentioned above: expect a little bit slower system than what you are expected due to latency.
edit
somehow we hit a MySQL Limit - which we shouldn't ... trying to monitor
edit2
we hit the connection limit... somehow connections always create an additional sleep-query ...
edit3
loads of queries - now we are back to default.
Also, the thread is open for comments again. Didn't get that it was closed. Please report bugs. But remember: everything feels sluggish.
edit4:
Cache should build up in the next few minutes - it should get a bit better with the viewing experience.

the new database-cluster is working now.
Commencing data-transfer.

I think there was a problem with the backup of the database-server.
I didn't really thought about chaning my backup-strategy; so every sunday it will do a full backup including a freeze of the system. Timing should match.
I'm changing this (as for your info; cluster node 3 is normally used for backup, never the main node (which will all insert-queries and 90% read-queries)

as you notice ... we are back on the default xenforo-theme.
i'm sorry, that this didn't work out like i wanted.

more or less back to the old design (the dark theme is back, too. You need to change to it - on the page scroll down to the bottom and click on "UI.X Akiba")
There are still lots of problems.
Missing Plugins:
force-words;
Thread-Thumbnails
some plugin is also causing errors when the system tries to unfur URLs
as always - please report all errors you occure.
edit
I did write this and 2seconds later both EU frontends went down -.-
i need to have a faster and more automated DNS-failover

Error is what it says. I've seen it before searching for 2 letter words, "and" was probably added in the new version as too common or you didn't search that one before.
Just surround the code with " and it'll search for it properly. So "AND-001"
