After upgrading the server software last month, now we have upgraded hardware. The new server has more memory, more cpus, and more disk.

Apologies for the downtime. Moving everything (mail, web, bulletin board, etc.) to a new server is much more cumbersome.

If something doesn't work please post here. Thanks.

I frequently get this error message:

Quote:
The page isn't redirecting properly



Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

The page isn't redirecting properly

I saw that once yesterday. The last time I tried to access the site. This morning things are back to normal. I assumed it was some kind of DNS caching problem, but then I've been doing some server building and service deployment myself, too. wink

Haven't seen the problem lately. It used to be every other time I tried to go for one place to another. I'd hit Retry and it would come through OK, but next time I tried to go somewhere I'd get the same error message.

Wow! When I first navigated to the site with a bookmark (Firefox - at work), everything looked "normal". Then I logged in, and ka-POW!!! Everything is screwy! Most especially the Active Topics page is nut! What does this mean? Does it help you yo know this? I hope it gets fixed! :0/

you need to read the thread immediately below this: Software Updated and change your stylesheet.

and I liked the GooG style. on a related note, I see that the list of all-time top posters has gone away. now if they'd just fix those styles that totally removed the "Stats" column!

There's a new style called "rounded_corners". Give it a try.

Em--I still have the sunny dropshadow and GooGv2 as options; do you-all not?
JFTR, I love my "snow", both for the color and the evocation.

tsuwm: there's an option to put the stats at the top of the page instead of on the side--would that be better for you?

only helps if it allows the 'space' on the side to be used for posts, when I tried it before it didn't. also, what eta said about those styles that formerly eliminated the Stats. they're still broken.

Huh--they both work for me, though sunny~ looks weird: the forum list is W--I--D--E while the actual threads are scrunched up, taking up only about the left half of my screen.

yes, things are slightly better tonight, although GooG is formatted like all the others (i.e., wastes all that space on Forum Stats, etc.) and sunny is as you say, scrunched - but note that the empty space there is just waiting for the Stats to be plugged in; then they will all be the same except for the color schemes.

Ah. Finally got it. Sometimes I need to be whacked upside the head with a 2 x 4.
