Forum Move May 31st 2009

[John]

As of now (about 5 pm US Central time, May 31st 2009) Caudata.org has moved server and now resides in the UK again after several years' absence. The forum appears to be working correctly and everything has transferred intact, as far as I can ascertain (if you see problems then please notify me immediately). Currently there are a few configuration options that need to be changed. So here are the currently known hiccups that I'm working on:

• The Gallery is turned off right now due to a missing image program on the server. This will be rectified shortly.
• As a consequence of the Gallery not being switched on, images posted there will not be loading into forum threads for the moment (like my field herping threads ).
• The chat room is not working correctly.
• Large uploads timing out - this is a configuration issue and should be fixed in the next few hours. It just means that very large files will cause a database error because they will be to big to be accepted. It won't actually do anything to the forum.
• The Chatroom is not logging users out correctly right now so while the "Who is chatting" list on the forum is correct, when you go into the chat there seems like there are a lot more people than there really are. I am trying to get to the bottom of this.

Thank you all for your patience over the past number of days. I certainly missed the forum a lot and I've lost a lot of sleep over this!
(Strike-Through means the issue has now been fixed)

Woo hoo!! One doesn't realise how much time one spends on this great site. I missed it! Thanks for pulling it all together John.

Now life can continue! Thank you John amd everyone else that played a part in fixing things.

Thanks for getting this switched over an online. I certainly missed it. But it was probably a welcome absence since I was busy moving, so I had one less distraction...

It might be a lucky coincidence but i can finally log on to Caudata from home again! The spending-intensive cybercafe days are finally over and its time to load up some new photos.

:hat:

 

[John]

Congratulations. I don't know why you couldn't access the old server but the new one is in London, England, now.

Well done John, I think I had caudata withdrawals over the weekend!

Heres hoping the Luftwaffe doesn't bomb it again.

Well done John, I think I had caudata withdrawals over the weekend!

Nice to see I wasn't the only one. Oh and thanks John for all your efforts.

 

[oregon newt]

Wahoo!!! I missed the Forum. On the other hand, I was finally able to get something productive done this weekend.

 

[froggy]

Thanks for making the transfer, John.

Yes, thanks for all your hard work, John. I fear I missed half the drama but I was glad to see the site back online today.
