Site Access

The COYS server is up and running. if you can't access the forums the most probable explanations are an issue with your internet access, or (as per the emails sent to all COYSers over the last few months, and the pinned thread in the BNL) that your account has been suspended ahead of the upcoming transfer window.

Software upgrade

A software upgrade is in progress that has resulted in some speed issues on COYS. We are working to improve things and speed up the process as best we can. Please bear with us while the Gnomes address this.
You may occasionally lose access to COYS during this upgrade. Thanks for your patience.

Some users may be experiencing issues with the COYS site at present, ranging from Internal Server Errors, being unable to create new topics, or being unable to connect at all. Mods are aware, and this issue is being investigated. Thanks for your patience.

Upgrade Update #6

We are aware of an issue of members not being able to post although they can access the board, it is due to the reindexing process crashing MYSQL. If you are experiencing problems bear with us and try again later.

Upgrade Update #5

Enormous thanks to our site sponsors for testing out the new software. Kudos to Gunther and acey for their tenacity and resourcefulness in making sure the plethora of problems we had with the upgrade, were defeated.

Even though we're not at 100% yet (still tables to be rebuilt, and some features to load), based on the Sponsor feedback we feel the site is ready to re-open. There's a BNL thread dedicated to the new software. So have at it.

Please remember to log in using your Display Name.

Upgrade Update #4

Hallelujah! We're 90% of the way there. It's not all over yet, however it's time for a test group of users. As such we've just opened the board to COYSers in the 'sponsor' group. We'd like them to log in, explore the board and provide their feedback in the designated BNL thread. If all goes well, the board will then be fully re-opened.

Upgrade Update #3

Significant progress made. :-) Admins are testing functionality of the new board. Hope to be fully open in time for the Stoke game.

Upgrade Update #2

We've been working all weekend on trying to get the upgrade to run to completion, but to no avail. The IPS techies will continue their investigations on Tuesday. The current plan is if they can't sort it out by Thursday we'll come back up on the old version of the board software. Thanks to Gunther for his efforts, and to all COYSers for their patience, during this difficult time. Prof.

Board software upgrade update

Wrestling with several major technical snags. One has been escalated to tier 2 support at Invision. Although it's possible these issues will be resolved relatively quickly, it's likely that we could be homeless for several more days. At least it's happening on an international break week. Thanks for your patience and support.

Upgrade further update

Gunther's going to be doing some work on the site starting around 11pm BST Thursday, that could last into Saturday. There could be several outages during this time.

Tuesday 23 August 2016

Upgrade to IPB v4

Thanks to the generosity of our Sponsors we're upgrading our board software to the latest version.

(1) COYS will be brought down around 5pm (BST) on Tuesday August 23rd to migrate our files and databases to the latest version of the board software. The outage will last anywhere from 4-12 hours.

(2)  A key change for all COYSers to bear in mind is that usernames will be no more. You will need to use your DISPLAY NAME and PASSWORD to log into the board. 

(3) Please make COYS SOUP --- http://coys-soup.blogspot.com/your first port of call for updates on progress. If there is a problem with the cutover, it will be logged there.

(4) If you haven't been able to successfully log in by Thursday August 25th, please send an email to admin@comeonyouspurs.com

(5) Once the upgrade has been completed, we will create a thread in the Danny Blanchflower Saloon for COYSers to log any issues they notice with the board. There are sure to be teething pains and some features (e.g. transfer window countdown clock) won't be available, at least for awhile. Please be patient as we work out way through the issues list, and we all get used to the layout and features of the new software.

COYS Back Online

The maintenance went well and COYS is up and running smoothly.

Thursday 11 August 2016

Planned maintenance



COYS will be taken offline at around 11:30pm BST on Saturday night (the 13th) for Gunther to update a number of the applications that underpin the site. The outage could last up to 8 hours, so please don't email admin if you can't log in. If things aren't going well, COYS SOUP will be updated.

This work is being done in preparation for a major upgrade of the IPB board software that should happen some time in the next few months.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Access to COYS

There are no problems with the COYS server.

If you cannot access COYS it means your account was one of those that were closed for low contribution, as per the detailed emails sent to all COYSers in March, April and May.

The next opportunity for re-activation of accounts suspended for low activity will be after the window has closed.

Re-activation is not an automated process, so if you are interested in reclaiming your place in the COYS community, please EMAIL admin@comeonyouspurs.com on or after FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 2nd 2016, asking for your account to be re-opened and it's very likely you'll be able to re-take your place in the COYS community. :-)
