New Server
« on: September 28, 2010, 09:41:02 AM »
After careful consideration I have decided to move the site and forum to a new server. I would like to note that I will continue our old hosts services for up to two months while we evaluate the new host and determine if the move was the best choice. Over the course of today and tonight some parts of the forum may act a little strange. The default forum url will be properly working soon as well. Attachments are being restored as we speak. In regards to the TWC Today website, most of the files needed for that are already in place. Thanks for being patient! :)

Thanks to Brian for all of his help with the move!

Nice, but there are some bugs right now. The logo is missing, and I had trouble logging in earlier (had to reset my password). In addition, the member map is missing. And the system keeps on randomly logging me out.

Jesse or Martin will work on the logo later today.

Also, everything seems to be working fine, Martin! :)

The dns servers my laptop uses haven't propgated as of yet, thus I am still getting to the old site. Once that eventually corrects itself in the next 12 hours or so, I will fix the logo. There are errors in the php coding due to the transfer, so bear with me please! It's high on my priority list. :-)

Although I had no problems logging in today, it isn't remembering me after I leave (normally it does). Also, the unread topics feature (at the top) isn't working. It says all topics have been read, even though they haven't.

Seems to be working now. Thanks. :)

Edit: Something new I've noticed. There's something being added to certain URLs. It doesn't seem to cause any problems, but it defintely wasn't there before. For example, when you view new posts, it adds "wwwRedirect;" to the url. Any idea why?

I believe it's because we're using the www prefix now, and the forums want to make sure you have it there, in the event that you didn't before.

Apparently the new server is in the central time zone, thus the logo rotation was an hour off. This has now been fixed.

Speaking of the logo, have the times been updated to reflect TWC's new programming schedule?

The Monday through Thursday ones have. The Friday, Saturday, Sunday ones have not as I have yet to see a non-confusing schedule layout for it. Matt's schedule post is far too confusing for me to follow for those days, so I'll have to wait and see.

Doesn't seem to be an issue now.

So you were asleep when you typed that? :P

All attachments that were working before the move should be working now. Report any problems please :)
