Hello.

Further to the problems we were having a few weeks ago, we've been working on a new system architecture and it's now (I think) ready for some load testing.

Functionally we've been using it for the last week, and it's identical to the live site: running from the same databases (so the bulletin boards on it have live data, and any posts made to them appear on the main site etc etc)

If you would like to test this new site, you'll need to do the following:
Delete your MoneyAM cookies from your browser (in Firefox you can do that from the Tools/Options/Privacy menu, in IE the easiest way is to 'delete cookies' from the Tools / Internet options menu (note: you'll delete all your cookies this way!))
Point your web browser to: http://test.moneyam.com/
Start using that site.


The deleting of your MoneyAM cookies is vital, else you won't be able to log into the new site (you'll keep getting directed back to the login screen).

Also, if you then want to start using the main site again (http://www.moneyam.com), you'll need to go through the delete cookies routine again. Due to them running different software versions, the cookies are not compatiable.

If this sounds like I'm trying to put you of testing, then I'm sorrry, but I need to make the limitations clear to mitigate lots of questions along those lines.

If you do decide to test the new site, please post below so I know you're doing it and post any feedback that you may have (any errors you get for instance)

Many thanks,
J.

Ps: this post was created on the test site, as proof they're running on the same backend databases.

Fair point Mr Tullett.

But, lostandfound no need for you to post again as I have your comments now.

Cheers

puters,still running OK,but have notice as i leave all my machines left on over night in the morning i have to log in again,is that the norm,apart from that is running fine !!!

Mega...

Mega,

This would be normal, it is just the logon session expiring after a set time period.

Ian

Actually, IMHO, there does seem to be an absolutely mammoth amount of logging on required with this site.

Of course, my opinion could be wrong on this.

DocProc,

Apart from a few minutes ago on the test server, are you talking about the test server in general, or the main site?

J.

Just generally.

I think you have a log-in changeover time at about lunchtime, don't you. (ONE)

And then you might change something on the site outside the normal 9-5 period won't you? If so, this might well necessitate a new log-in requirement. (TWO)

And then some of my browser's Links are to 'www' will necessitate another log-in (THREE) whereas to access from 'test' might not. That is unless you alter things again and then it easily might (FOUR).

And then,before you know it, there's back to the log-in changeover time of day again. (FIVE?)

Sorta kinda.....well, it feels like, kinda sorta. :-)

DocProc,

If you're navigating between www and test then you'll be made to log in sometimes. On 'test' there's no login change over at all, and any that was present was purely due to cookies expiring.

On the test machine, if we deploy a new site then all logins are expired, which is correct behaviour, but once it's live we will only deploy out of hours.

J.

OK :-)

And, just in case there are any users with login withdrawal symptoms....

Works fine with my Safari browser on the Applemac.
That`s more than I can say of your webcast feature, no luck with the Applemac again.
cheers.

Couldn't login again last evening. All I kept getting was a series of about 9-11 sound clicks and then a revert back to the login page. Gave up trying in the end.

Things seem perfectly OK today, though.

DocProc,

That happens if you access the main site before logging into here, and yes, it's annoying :)

We're going live with this new system tonight, so using test.moneyam.com won't be needed from tomorrow.

J.
