Title: SERVER CHANGE IS COMING SOON. Post by: mrbones on August 09, 2005, 07:27:16 PM As you can see, this forum is seriously messed up. Hostcentric.com, who is hosting this site, has decided to upgrade this server without notice. I can't access the backend to fix the layout. I was on the phone with them for 1 hour today and didn't get very far. I waited 1/2 hour on-hold just to talk to someone. I can't stand their poor service any longer. I've already started changing the site to a new server. I'll be resconstucting the forum ASAP. When I start that, this one will have to be closed to posting. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll get this site back to normal as fast as humanly possible. Thanks.

Title: Re: SERVER CHANGE IS COMING SOON. Post by: backinsaddle on August 10, 2005, 01:40:20 PM looks great, nice new look...i especially like the feature "show unread posts since your last visit"
Title: Re: SERVER CHANGE IS COMING SOON. Post by: mrbones on August 10, 2005, 01:41:40 PM The site is restored. All I have done is fix what the web host has damaged. I haven't changed hosts yet. I'm going to leave it as-is for a little while since it's working and plan a server change at the end of the month. I'm paid through by then anyway. Thanks for all your support! (and patience).

Post by: mrbones on August 10, 2005, 03:31:32 PM It seems that when the host moved the site WITHOUT NOTICE, they used a backup from 07/30 concerning the attachments. So, any photos posted on this site after that date are lost. I have contacted their technical support deptartment to try and retreive the new files.
ug... >:( Title: Re: SERVER CHANGE IS COMING SOON. Post by: mrbones on August 10, 2005, 11:15:26 PM I just got word about the photos that were posted after 7/30. And the word is, tuff luck.
Gotta love that service! Sorry folks... Title: Re: SERVER CHANGE IS COMING SOON. Post by: Honda328i on August 11, 2005, 09:33:01 AM I just got word about the photos that were posted after 7/30. And the word is, tuff luck. Gotta love that service! Sorry folks... That's too bad, the whole Eureka ride is gone :'( Title: Re: SERVER CHANGE IS COMING SOON. Post by: RL400 on August 11, 2005, 08:16:26 PM if you need any help, PM me. im pretty good at this kinda stuff.
Title: Re: SERVER CHANGE IS COMING SOON. Post by: mrbones on August 13, 2005, 12:07:22 PM While the web host told me the 08/01 - 08/10 photos were gone and I was out of luck, I came across them by accident by finding an old server address and logging into it.
So, PHOTOS RESTORED!! Title: Re: SERVER CHANGE IS COMING SOON. Post by: qt314nfla on August 14, 2005, 12:30:25 PM thanks again mr. bones
Title: Re: SERVER CHANGE IS COMING SOON. Post by: mrbones on August 17, 2005, 12:35:14 PM The forum is now on the new server. I'm uploading the file attachments now. As far as I know, everything is ok.
ADVERTISERS: The only thing I have left to do is get the banner server backup. I'll be working on that shortly. Let me know of any problems. The '209.59.129.221' in the forum URL will change in 24 hours. Thanks. Title: Re: SERVER CHANGE IS COMING SOON. Post by: Quad32x on August 17, 2005, 12:42:35 PM Get down Mr.BoNeS !! Now all we need are more smileys. These are alittle dull. ;D ;D
Title: Re: SERVER CHANGE IS COMING SOON. Post by: mrbones on August 17, 2005, 12:43:24 PM I know. Once this server change is done I'll add more smilies. I'll try the chat room again, too.

Title: Re: SERVER CHANGE IS COMING SOON. Post by: mrbones on August 19, 2005, 11:32:02 AM I couldn't logout and couldn't delete my cookie for the site. I changed the cookie name that saves the login info. This might clear up the problem. If not, I'll try something else.

Post by: mrbones on August 19, 2005, 04:30:17 PM The Spell Checker is gone :( I emailed tech support requesting for the spell check library installed on the server. We'll see. Title: Re: SERVER CHANGE IS COMING SOON. Post by: mrbones on August 19, 2005, 04:31:20 PM I added more smilies. That was a little tedious. Each one had to be added manually. I've got more I'll install later. :Clap.gif
Title: Re: SERVER CHANGE IS COMING SOON. Post by: Honda328i on August 19, 2005, 04:34:14 PM Bones, any word on getting the avatar pictures restored? Who needs actors, we just want the quads ;D
Title: Re: SERVER CHANGE IS COMING SOON. Post by: mrbones on August 19, 2005, 04:47:07 PM I didn't know those were gone. I fixed it.
Title: Re: SERVER CHANGE IS COMING SOON. Post by: Honda328i on August 19, 2005, 04:57:10 PM I didn't know those were gone. I fixed it.

Title: Re: SERVER CHANGE IS COMING SOON. Post by: mrbones on August 26, 2005, 03:49:01 PM I added a Chat room to the site. Just click the Chat button in the tool bar. It looks basic but it appears to work. The only down side is this one doesn't display who's logged on in the forum.
