OK folks, as mentioned earlier in the season, we are going to be making some changes to the site over the summer and the first of these will happen in the week after the Dundee game.
Our domain name of 'caleythistleonline.com' is currently registered with one company who we dont use for much any more so we are going to be moving it to our normal registrar.
This should not take too long and it may cause no disruption at all but please be aware that there is a possibility that you might get some page not found errors or the site may not come up at some point when we do this. At worst any disruption should only last for 2 or 3 days, but at best it might be almost seamless - we have no way to predict which scenario will actually happen as it is out of both our control and also our registrar. As all email addresses ending @caleythistleonline.com are also tied in with the domain name our email will also be affected so if you send to us do make allowances for this !!!!
Once we have transferred our domain name to our new registrar we will then be looking at updating the forums to the latest version (i think you will be impressed) and also the main site in preparation for next season. This will involve creating a test site and getting it ready then switching over to it when we are happy it is working properly. We may ask a few users to help us test it - we will PM you nearer the time.
As mentioned earlier in the season, we will also be hosting this site with a different provider to see if it is quicker and shows less errors than we have experienced here over the season. When we do this switchover, we may also have a further couple of days of downtime as we need to tell the domain name to look for the site at <"NEW-HOST"> instead of <"OLD-HOST"> and again neither us or the host can do anything about the updating process as that takes time to percolate through the internet.
We will try to give further updates about any (planned) downtime as soon as we can.
