Gallery Working

[Sportsfan]

I've been checking the forum on and off throughout the day. When It was first down, I could not access it on my computer but I could on my mobile. I hope the move goes good for you, Carl!

What a relief to have the forum back!  I haven't been able to access it since yesterday afternoon - most of a day - and had no idea what the problem was.  It's good to see it working again, and I hope the new server works well.

So is everything stable now? The alarm, flashing red lights and 5 minute countdown is rather settling you know...

Good job, Carl!  Looks like things went well, congratulations!  I'm sure it's quite a relief.

In the future, if you need to do something like this again, perhaps you might want to consider a blanket, no-reply email to all forum members.  Your post here was fine for people who happened to check the forums before everything went off-line.  But for those who didn't check in until later, I'm sure there was some confusion (or perhaps even panic).

Anyway, I'm glad everything's back up and running!  Don't want anyone going into Carl's-withdrawal  .

Wow, now I really know I'm addicted... I've been checking to see if it was back for the last seven hours or so! Fantastic job, well done, Carl! Three cheers for the webmaster ever, Carl!

That's exactly what I've been doing. Is everything okay now, Carl? Like, can we upload picures to the gallery?

It took me another 30  minutes after you said that, but everything as far as this domain seems to be working ok. Avatars and swap shop attachments are on their way up. I won't mess with the gallery files until later tonight. I don't want to cap my upload for the rest of the day. So, pictures will gradually fill in overnight. This project has taken a lot of time and things still aren't perfect.

The Sims Medieval quest pages aren't displaying properly. Instead they show the php code and I've got to get to the bottom of that. To be honest I have no idea why as the forum is in php and clearly that is working.

My own email server is not up yet.

As for the gallery, it'll be functional tomorrow assuming I'm not thrown any curve balls.

I had to set this server up entirely from scratch, so that's another notch on the belt. Thanks for being here as soon as I reopened the doors. I don't expect any further issues with the forum right now. If we have speed issues I will boost the server. For now I started it at a relatively slow speed. I'd like to cap it out before I increase it as it doubles in power each time I scale up. That could lead to a bit of overkill.

So I wasn`t the only one doing that?

And we're back on track! To bad I hadn't saw this topic in time. I just find out I couldn't login and just thought it was the end of the world. But like you've said in your first post here Carl, that is 2012, it's still 2011 now (in my timezone).
So, I'm glad anything is working now. You're sure you aren't missing anything? No accidentially deleted posts or something?

[Carl]

I'm sure it's all here, and look, I even saved your avatar 

[CarlosLordofTacos]

Is everyone`s avatar`s fine?

[Carl]

It seems so. Things are really picking up and I think I'm almost done, other than some personal things I need like email. I'm going to have to talk to Kai Heilos, the guy who helped build the array that makes The Sims Medieval quest area work. Unfortunately, it is totally broken until I hear from him or get support elsewhere.

ah so that explains why I couldn't access the forum the last couple of days, I was afraid my IP got blocked or something, since while bothering chronic on his blog he told me that everything worked for him
great job carl

[Saltypaws]

Did you say the pictures would eventually fill in here on the forum and the swap shop?  Just checking, my pictures are gone, so was just wondering.

Never mind, I notice others are missing pics too, but I would say you did an awesome job, Carl.  I am like others, coffee and forum in the morning are essential.  Funny how we get use to things, lol.  I know it has to be frustrating to try and switch things over and I won't even pretend to know details and how you do it.

[Katluvr]

Hooray!!!  The forum and website are back!!!  Thank you for the superhuman effort, Carl - I can't even imagine how much work it was to do the migration so quickly.

I also learned that a day without all of you is like a day without sunshine.
