Hey everyone,

Well as most of you will know by now it's WAGs 20th Birthday today, and Google have put up our lovely logo across lots of their sites (UK, Canada, Thailand, Germany, etc).

As you can appreciate this means a tremendous amount of traffic to the site - more than a couple of servers can cope with. So we had to create a "clone" of the site, like a snapshot of it taken from earlier on today, and this is what you see if you're on the domain http://happybirthday.wallaceandgromit.com - that is why on that domain forum posts are old / not updated.

If you go to www.wallaceandgromit.com you are automatically taken to the 20th Birthday site. But if you go to live.wallaceandgromit.com instead you are back on our usual server, with the normal forum.

Once things have died down after the birthday we'll put everything back to normal - but in the meantime if you want quick access to the real live forum then please bookmark http://live.wallaceandgromit.com instead.

Cheers,

Rich

crackingtoast Posted: Nov 7th 2009

oh i thought P&B mean't the temporary site. don't worry,CF,it's like that on everyones computer.


cheesefanatic Posted: Nov 7th 2009

Wait, what ok now I'm confused! lol! Did you mean the 20th bday celebrations page has gone r something else. Cause when i click on wallaceandgrmit.com it comes up with a 20th bday page first and then when I click on the big "20 logo it takes me to the website. Kinda confusing!


Purple&Brown Posted: Nov 7th 2009

I mean where you have to put live.wallaceandgromit.com


Gromits little bro Posted: Nov 8th 2009

the www. still redirects to happybirthday. you have to either follow the links off happybirthday. or enter the live. bit
P&B i doubt it will change before wednesday
