The Great Server Move of 2010

[TheNewTeddy 5]

Very happy to be back. I hope chat gets kicked into working mode by one of the reboots

Took a tad longer than expected, but we are back. Server is safely secured in its new home. There may be a couple of reboots as we get settled and update our new ips and so on, but we're all well and good. Cheers..quote>

Thanks, Dirk!    We seem to be up and running.

Thanks for that link, Meg. I went looking for that when the whole subject of toasters came up again. It was fun reading through it again.

[TheNewTeddy 5]

ooh, first reboot! Looks like progress is being made.

Chat still down... I wish I had a life :'(

[TheNewTeddy 5]

I think the retro look is nice, but the regular look is better.

And here's something you don't see every day.

Even rarer!

[TekindusT 3,809]

Is it my explorer or the Current Discussions window on the front page isn't working properly? I mean, the most recent post that figures there was written at 2:54 server time, and it is obvious there have been some posts since then... Could this have something to do with the server move?

It looks okay to me.  Which browser are you using?

[Korot 6]

Another problem is that e-mail notification seems to be shut down. Despite several posts being made in the 10.000 post thread (see link in sig), I do not get an e-mail notification about it, while I am subscribed to this topic. And this is not the only topic to which this is happening, other examples are the guess who's next game, and Nyhaven (CJ).

Browser: Firefox 3.6.3

Your efforts to keep this site up and running are appreciated.  The material in simtropolis has greatly increased the value of SC4.

FWIW I was having the same thing, until I restarted my browser and all the new posts appeared. 

Although now this is showing up: 

[Chptrk 86]

^^ I got the same thing. And it's blocking me from entering any thread that is under it too. Oh, and it's blocking chat too.

[Larks2242 251]

Woah what made Duke 87 come into chat, that never happends.

[TekindusT 3,809]

@Meg: I've tried with Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, but everything seems alright now (I've been away of ST for some hours).

[Deathcat001 8]

Hell i chose to the wrong time to log in. I logged in right when it changed.

Oh yea, I learned about the tab you can use to enter chat. I've never used it before today.

the only problem I'm experiencing is this just randomly in the middle of pages, although it could be my computer

There is a way to solve that click the - box in the top left corner above where it says quick menu.

[Mayorm 14]

thanks solved

[Chptrk 86]

All better, thanks!!

[Larks2242 251]

Good, everything seems to be back to normal.

[Timmystwin 201]

I got this on the STEX the other day, i think i mentioned it....All gone now though. ( and it was before you moved the server)

[ilikehotdogsalot 311]

We're back

[Meg 368]

We are still working out a few kinks in the system here.    Your input would be appreciated.

Quick question:

Some people say subscriptions are not working; others say they are.

Is it that PM subscriptions are not working?  or that email subscriptions are not?

Quick poll here:

Are subscriptions working for you?    Do you get them by PM or email?

[astronelson 339]

The PM subscriptions are working, the email ones are not.

I changed my subscription over to check.

[Korot 6]

E-mail ones are not working for me. I'm not going to change them over to PM-subscription, as the purpose for them to me is to allow me not to be on-line all the time, will still being able to be active in the forum games, by being notified when someone else has made a post. Switching to PM would mean that I'd have to refresh the page constantly to be notified of a new post, and in that case it would be more effective to just go to the Forum-Games section and refresh that page periodically. Not much else I really use the subscriptions for, except perhaps topics in the SC4 general discussion forum, which I don't visit often.

Regards,

Korot

[woodb3kmaster 342]

Email subscriptions aren't working for me either. On a slight tangent, is it possible to tell the forums to email me when I get a PM? There have been times when I've gone months without noticing that I had earlier received a PM, simply because I didn't visit ST at that time. It would be nice to have such emails sent, and it would bring ST in line with a lot of other forums (both SC4-related and otherwise).
