Hey, Randomlingers...

Well, the house looks to be running fine now.

Yup, for the first time in about four days....

Register an account, log in set, set posts per page to 40 (or more?). Also, if you aren't logged in you can't even see Tangency, reducing the fun by 50% right there.

Thanks, Darkness. I've been signed up there a while, but I missed that about setting posts per page. I'll poke about there a bit more soon.

Sorry folks, this is just a note of the pages I want to add to my boards:

About Randomling's House
Support Randomling's House
Upload Pictures

I've noticed some of the minor mods you've made at the forum lately, and they are welcome. Tidied things up a bit, and no one even really noticed. Wondering about the Upload pic part. Won't that be a drain on resources? Web and wallet?

BTW, agreed that this isn't a hack issue. Surfed a few community boards over the last few days, and this was pretty localised to Randomling.

Seems to be running well now.

BTW, here's a direct link: http://forum.rpg.net/profile.php?do=editoptions

Maximum is 100 posts/page, BTW.

Hiya, Randomlingers.

Update: after two days, I received a very impersonal response from my soon-to-be-former hosts explaining that there have been some hardware issues (undefined) which are now resolved. I've already signed up for HardHat, whose customer service department is far superior, much quicker and friendlier. It's going to mean a minor change of address for the boards, but hopefully we'll be able to make the move without any lost data.

Currently I'm trying to get the new board software to connect to the new database, which is proving to be hard work as I can't seem to track down the information I need.

Watch this space for more information as it becomes available!

Any disruption will be worth it if it means the site is up more often.

Any disruption will be worth it if it means the site is up more often.

With any luck, disruption should be minimal. We won't be annoucing the new address for the boards until we're ready to go live - so you won't see any teething trouble, with any luck!

Friday Update #1:
The PHPBB software is up and running, and I have assurances that PHPBB.com will be running by tomorrow. I'm working hard on modifications to the software. We won't go live until the boards look exactly the way I want them!

 

[MonsterMash]

Of course this means things will run perfectly on the existing hosts for the next few days.

 

[randomling]

Of course!
