@James Gryphon
Was there some sort of announcement that you were changing the hosting that I missed? I assumed the entire forum went down for some administration reason, which in effect redwallabbey.com-meldown II. I was away from home all day, totally baffled as to why the forum was down again. When I got home had to go to the discord conversation to see what was up. Did I miss something?

I posted up an announcement topic about it yesterday (with the same name as the one that's up here, New Server Hosting). It is true I didn't give a lot of advance notice, though. That's just because I figured that the announcement would take care of most of it, and it wouldn't be down long enough to justify anything more (like a mail out or something). I guess I could have waited a few days to let the news digest before I made the change, but I was excited about the opportunity and didn't want to wait.

I was a little concerned when I couldn't get the site to work yesterday but at least there was a good reason and it hadn't just crashed...again.

How did Galli get a link to the new forum though? Did you post it in the Discord before her or...?

[Chipster of Noonvale]

When I saw that 404 error all day yesterday, I was sure the forum was gone forever.

It seems this wasn't the case.

I put the link up on Discord three or four times.

[Jetthebinturong]

But where did you get it from?

It's beautiful  Though my profile seems to not want to work, does if have to do with it beinging a PNG file?

[James Gryphon]

I haven't spent much time trying to figure it out yet; if I had to guess, I think it'd be because of the way the forum encodes things. Even though it has all the same data, this isn't technically the same forum as the last one (I installed SMF 2.0.12 fresh along the lines of getting things set up here). And if isn't the same forum, then it can't unencode the attachment strings.

There's nothing to worry about, though. I can access the pictures and they look fine; if my theory's right, it's just that the forum doesn't know how to access them, because it's looking for the wrong names. If I can't fix it, then I'll post up all the pictures somewhere so that y'all can get them back up again, manually.

Okay, cool. Well I changed it for the season.
