We wanted to let everyone know that there are more tutorials on the support page - we’ve newly added flash tutorials showing you how to do the most common functions in Drupal. Thanks to a comment on one of our blog posts, we’ve become aware that Drupal is somewhat of a bear in the “how the heck do I do this” department, and we thought we’d add them as we know we have a quite few people using it.

We have two announcements - one, “we can has a new server”. We’re going to be working out the specs and likely bringing it to roaring life at the end of this month or the beginning of next.

This will also coincide with our MySQL5 implementation plan. (everyone shiver and make appropriate groaning noises).

We’ll bring the new server online with MySQL5, and anyone that wishes to move to the new box at that time will be more than welcome to pick up and go over there - just submit a support ticket when you see the announcement (and which Pokemon its likely to be named after) and we’ll get you over there lickety split.

For the rest of you? Well, you have a choice - we’ll provide a mirror of your site without changing your DNS so that you can test at no charge on the new server. You’ll need to use that time to work out the kinks, make any upgrades, check out compatibilities and lack thereof during that one week. If you take advantage of it, that’s great, and you’ll be better prepared.

If you don’t, we’re upgrading the four “old” servers a month or two after that, and if you didn’t test and your stuff doesn’t work, we’ll have lots of comforting sympathy for you but we will not, under any circumstances, downgrade the servers because a few old programs have some issues. We may decide to leave one server at four, but that will depend entirely on how widespread the problem is, and we’re not promising anything - and the only way we will know is if you test. If you don’t test, we’ll upgrade ‘em all if there are very few people with issues.

Watch the blog feed for more information as it becomes available, and let us know if you have any questions.
