BlackBerry Forums Asia Pacific moves for better speed to the majority.
Filed Under (Blackberry News) by Greg Myers on 28-02-2010
As some of our long term readers may know, I moderate for the Asia/Pacific BlackBerry forum. Over the past months, we have seen a large increase in the traffic coming from the US/Canada side and through we would do something to appease our readers/members.
We have moved the main server over to your side of the world to give you better speeds and usability on both mobile and desktop based access. With over 65% of visitors coming from the US and Canada, it seemed the logical move. And the best part about it, the overall speed of the site has increased from the Asia/Pacific region as well. (Benefits of upgrading to a faster server)
This is the first stage of a major site upgrade. The rest of the upgrades and dates are listed below:
Stage 2 – Tweak Settings on New Server - Started 27th Feb 2010
We are currently working with vBulletin to determine the best configuration for the new dedicated server.
Stage 3 – Rebuild the Mobile Website - Started 28th Feb 2010
The Mobile website is being upgraded from version 3.9.7 to version 4.0.0. A full list on changes will be provided shortly.
Stage 3 – Upgrade to vBulletin 4.0 Publishing Suite - ETA 6 Weeks
Upgrade the website to the latest version of vBulletin 4.0. Please refer to the link below for further details:
Stage 4 – Integrate a new Blog feature that is included in vBulletin 4.0 Publishing - ETA 8 Weeks
