LapBandTalk.com will be migrating it’s service to a new infrastructure over the weekend.

Lately, LapBandTalk.com has experienced a large increase in traffic. We’ve optimized the current servers to run as good as they’re capable of, yet the constant increase in traffic requires us to upgrade to our new infrastructure.

The new environment will allow us to grow with our traffic. Instantly. We have spent many weeks designing and testing the new infrastructure and are confident that your experience will be more consistent, and greatly improved.

We will begin the transition this Sunday at 12:00AM EST, at which time LapBandTalk.com will become unavailable.

The entire migration should take between 4 and 6 hours, and will be fully operational on its return.

Once the move has been completed, we are going to activate an e-mail address for bug reports. Should you notice any issues with site loading, posting, uploading, chat, etc. we urge you to report the issue to bugs@lapbandtalk.com with full details on the issue, as well as a URL if available.

Supporting Each Other,

The LapBandTalk Team

I'm having issues. Pages act like they loaded but when I go to them, they are blank. I refresh and sometimes the page shows up and sometimes it's still blank.

This issue should be corrected now. Please let me know if it isn't.

I was using Safari. :lunch: But it just happened right now at work with Windows and IE 6.0

I also just got a 500 server error thread trying to get some threads to come up.

I am having trouble. I can usually get to my first thread, but when I click on a second thread to read, it doesn't load. It eventually will go to the 500 server error, or will finally load after 10 minutes with errors on the page. I usually start with this url http://www.lapbandtalk.com/usercp.php in order to get my subscribed threads that have new postings.

Please try emptying your browsers cache. Instructions are found here. Let me know if that helped you please.

Thanks Alex. I just followed the instructions. I will let you know how it goes.

That didn't work. I have had my local phone company check out my service. They can't find anything wrong. I don't know what to do from here.

Hey there,

The issue we were aware of has been resolved. It's possible this may be related to something else.

Can you provide me with your IP Address (via Private Message) as well as the Forum URL's you're experiencing the issues with?

Thanks in advance,

Ken

Maybe I need some Visine because I don't think I'm seeing that right!!

Thanks for posting this. Thankfully, I think my situation is resolved (at least for now).

Alex, on another thread, people are asking what Ken's role is here at LBT. They don't think he is legit asking for URLs or IP addresses. Maybe you should clarify who he is

somewhere in a new post on the board. I am sure everyone wants the best for LBT so it's okay to be leary of someone who people have never heard of and are asking for their IP address.

If that's true then I apologize.

It would be a good idea to identify him however, by making him a Moderator or something to that effect.
