Maybe he should have shut it down for 5 days and got it done right.

It's up now and seems to be working well. As far as "maybe he should have"... maybe you and Tim could only have figured that out by Tim trying it out and seeing that it still needed work. His rear view mirror probably works pretty much the same as yours... and mine.

Tim posted that instead of transferring everything to a new server he decided to set up a temporary server first and have that migrate to a permanent server so the site would not be down as long. I think that cause unanticipated problems and if he had to do it over again, he would have bagged the temporary server.

I'm a member of a bicycling site that used to be powered by Huddler, and recently switched to the same IPB platform that SOL runs on now. They didn't use the interim server, and their site was down for a full week during the switch. And they had a fraction of the data to transfer as SOL did. There are still things that were lost in the switch, and no clue as to whether the site admin can recover them on his own.

This company is one of the few that has successfully done a Huddler change-over.
