Server move complete

[Steven Benner]

Well, it took 15 hours, but it is finally done. We are now on the new server with the new forums. Everything should be fully upgraded and working. 

There were lots of little things that I didn't really think about or spend time on during the beta. Stuff like smiley icons, search indexes, rewriter rules, proper forum permissions, etc. But I think I have everything finally sorted out.

The search should be even faster than it was during beta. Most of the old forum URLs you have bookmarked should be redirected to the correct thread in the new forums. And, most of the smiley images should be set up and good to go.

Please let me know if you find any issues. I know that I missed some of the old smiley codes, if you know what code should match what image let me know so I can add it.

And please, please, please, if you find something wrong (like the ability to edit anyone's post during beta) let me know before abusing the bug.

So far so good Steve. Thanks for the forums and the new servers. We really do appreciate it. Maybe one day you'll actually be a part of the forum on a more regular basis. And we're always curious about your car,any updates?

Still quick, but it looks like I cannot change the look of the forum, so am I stuck with the white look, or am I blind and just did not see where to change it?

I like the new layout.  It doesnt look so cheap anymore.

i thought we would be able to change the layout once we logged in or is that just for the beta thing?

I keep getting weird problems here and there.




I tried to post, and got the 30 second warning. Waited a minute, and got the message that it was just posted, but nothing comes up. I'm surprised this is even posting..

One day, when I have both the time and the money to make the old celica into something amazing.  For now, it is still a "one of these days" project waiting for love.

See:

... It will depend on what themes I make available. And no, not every theme will be available to start. In fact, only one will be available at the beginning. I have to customize the theme for the site and that takes extra time, and can be done after-the-fact. ...

I've reduced the post delay to 10 seconds. For some reason it seems if you get the "You have to wait" message it makes it so you can't post that message, you have to go all of the way back out and click reply to try again.

Sounds good Steven, thanks for all the work.
