Long story short, major issues in getting the files to the new cloud host. Mainly because they are extremely large. Zipping the original files also took over 24 hours, these then need to be split into several smaller zipped packets and sent, which also takes 12+ hours. This is after taking days and days to download the original files from the server in the first place 😅 there have been some issues trying to get this bit done even though we started work originally on Thursday. 

The forum is just really massive, and not easy to migrate as the cloud host is only able to take zipped files and not direct FTP access to download the files themselves. Thank you to Premium Members who choose to support TSF with Premium Membership as this does help greatly to our hosting and running costs. 

In order to minimise disruption and keep the forum online for as much as possible, we will only put the forum into offline mode and start migrating the database after we have managed to successful zipped/split/sent/extracted and migrated the majority of current files in the background. We want to make sure we can do this part first before putting the forum offline. 

The forum may therefore go offline sometime this week (possibly still very late tonight or more likely tomorrow) but we are unable to give an exact time frame as we are unsure and planning for a specific date/time is not so easy due to the variables. 

We do hope that we can complete the migration this week.

Ran into a few issues. 

So as to not keep the forum down for longer than is needed, I will keep it in online mode for the moment rather than going offline at midnight.  

I will update sometime tomorrow once I have heard back and have more of an understanding how to address the current issues we have bumped into.

Hi everyone, 
Just signed up to this forum after watching a few of Backyard Bullion You Tube videos and thought I introduce myself. 
I am mainly into Britannia and sovereign coins but sometimes do buy bars as collectibles. Maybe looking to buy silver from here as some of the premiums from the main dealers can be really high. I'am going to see how to do that here and search the forum out. 
Anyway just wanted to say hi as maybe our paths will cross on this forum. 
Regards to all.
