Uni

Thank you for being so patient. The migration appears to have been a success.

Please report any technical issues here. 

Hi folks,

This coming Monday, we will migrate the forum service from our current web hosting provider to the Invision Power Services (IPS) hosted community service. We have been using their forum software since the early noughties. This move aims to reduce the service's infrastructure footprint and technical overheads. We also expect an uptick in performance, reliability, and security, with greater protection from bots.

Scheduled downtime:

The migration window is between 00:00 and 12:00 on February 26th. During this time, the forum will be unavailable to ensure no database transactions occur. Please plan your activities accordingly.

Forum content:
All data will be transferred directly to IPS and uploaded to their cloud platform. IPS host their services on Amazon AWS, and we have chosen to keep the data in Europe. For the nerds out there, EU-West-3 region.

Service status:

We will keep you informed of our progress during the migration process. Please check our status page for updates and notifications regarding the migration status. https://manxforums.statuspage.io

Shortly, we will enable Google's personal data consent prompt to access and process your cookies and other web fingerprint data to serve and manage personalised advertisements on ManxForums.com. You will be familiar with the type of prompt which is seen on social networking sites, online shops and forums.

From Google
Beginning on 16 January 2024, publishers and developers using Google AdSense, Ad Manager or AdMob will be required to use a Consent Management Platform (CMP) that has been certified by Google and has integrated with the IAB's Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) when serving ads to users in the European Economic Area or the UK. More information at https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/13554116?hl=en-GB

The Prompt
The prompt will look similar to the example below and be displayed the first time you visit the site and when it cannot detect that you have previously answered the prompt. If you clear your browser's web cache, use an incognito/private session, or a different browser or device, you will be prompted again.

Wasn't Slim's the forum previous to manxforums.com? (and immediately after manx.net)

Yup, 'Manx Online'

Any knowledge of where the attack originated?

There was no attack, it was partially to do with one or two Chinese search engines indexing the site and ignoring the crawling rules. 

Site performance should be improved and improving. Please let me know how it is for you now. Thanks 🧑‍💻

Here are some interesting projections regarding face mask usage; https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-kingdom?view=total-deaths&tab=trend

Any more origin IDs?

I spoted Uni in colours on friday night, I was a bit pissed at the time having been to peel for a few before hand.

Yup, all in the same boat though matey

Out on the lash - MBX, Manx Minx, Mupster, Girl89, DJ Denzel (good chat about Ibiza in the toilets) and few others my weekend memory forgot.

 

 

Thanks for the water, Uni. Did I look like I needed sobering up?

No worries, I can't remember the name of your friend though typical, nonetheless a great night was had.

Saw knoxville last night stark naked with a ginger haired man spraying beer into his nether regions

Same again next week then?

That place is still open?

I think if drop-in centres were created, it might encourage criminals who traffic through homeless people to come to the island. Is there any island enforcement that makes you leave after a certain amount of time?

I wonder how many homeless are actually out there and how many people reside here the Government no nothing about.

I saw Unisol in Ramsey the other day. Driving a pretty groovy car with an equally pretty groovy young lady in the passenger seat.

Yup, Hi Hi - went up for a Mountain run, shame the bugger was closed...

Chebobs being sick outside Paramount

I'll even talk to you in Amber if you subscribe

I still can't believe Knoxville started the most used thread... livid!

Yeah, Muster blanked me in town on Saturday

I'm annoyed that Knoxville started the largest thread on MF

MBX outside Colours 12:30 today, keyboard under arm!
