Clay, another problem with the new server

[eViL_KaRoT]

Clay, I have a friend here at work who links to this forum using the redtailboas.com/forum link. I use the http://www.redtailboas.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl link, the old original link. Well, any posts or PM's that he posts or sends while on that site, does not post on the original site. Is the old site not connecting to the new one anylonger? Just thought you should probably know!!!! Plus I tried to log in on that site and it keeps telling me that my password is incorrect, which I know I'm typing it correctly.

Re: Clay, another problem with the new server

Which one should we start using? Does that mean that if we use the new one, all of our post counts go away and we start out as a newbie again?

Re: Clay, another problem with the new server

So far I have not had that problem... but somtimes when I try to log on it just says no response from applyed server... I don't know what that means but I hit back and then forward and it lets me in...
And then somtimes it only load part of the forum like the first five areas and then the rest like the lizard one down don't load and I have to hit refresh...
Other then those things this site is really smoken' I like it now

Try logging on to the new forum link, let me know if you can log on. Plus, any post that are made on the new link, do not post on the old.

Re: Clay, another problem with the new server

OK, I went onto the new site and asked that it e-mail me my password. I guess when he made the new site, the passwords had to initially change. Wow, my password is very different!!!!!!

Another example, I signed into the new link, finally, and this post is not even there!!!!

Re: Clay, another problem with the new server

I've been using the same link since the beginning. That will be fine. The server changed not the address. The other link he gave you was a short cut while surfing the site.

Re: Clay, another problem with the new server

Trust me TC it's not just a shortcut. It's actually a totally different site!! Try going to your homepage, clearing out all your cache, and your internet history, then loading up the redtailboas.com/forum You'll notice that it is an entirely differnt page. The icons at the beginning of each post are different, the icons at the beginning of your name, such as your snake and my dragon are larger. Quite a bit is different. But if you don't clear out your cache and history first, it'll take you right back to this page.

Re: Clay, another problem with the new server

Sorry folks,

I was completely away from the internet this weekend, off doing family things ;

The site you have stumbled across is the latest version of the YABB forum software, and it is written in a completely different language and is much faster and much easier on the hosting servers cpu and memory.

What this means is that when I am confident in the functionality of the new software, the entire forum will be moved to the new software...

Right now it is just for testing purposes

You will notice that the title is TESTING forum and that the warning also tells you that any posting made will be lost.

If you want to test the new software, then go right a head, but just don't expect it to remain...

I will make the transition as soon as I feel confident in the new changes...

Re: Clay, another problem with the new server

Kool Clay, thanks. I was wondering if that was the case. I did notice that it did say testing. But I wasn't sure if things got lost or not. Thanks again. Now that I know what the case is, the site does look good.
