THE TRANSFER (how it's going to be)

So?
canta-per-me.net is moving to a new server. A DreamHost server, if you were wondering. He is what will be happening over the next few days. We hope this will solve some of the hacking issues we have experienced with our current host.

Step 1: Transfer files & Some Databases
Over the next day or two, I'll be transferring files from our current server to the new one. The Gallery has already been put in maintainence mode, and any files uploaded to the forums (read: avatar updates) will likely be lost if happening after RIGHT NOW.

Main site posts will probably be lost.

Step 2: Update domain settings
Due to the way the internet works, getting our URLs in order will take a few days. Once this happens, the forum will be unavailable until I can transfer the databases. It should be one of the few things unavailable.

Step 3: Transfer Remaining Databases
Mess with settings, and we should be back up & running. Hopefully.

Step 4: Panic that things do not work
Yeah, I'll let you know when to get all flustered. Now is not the time. GET FLUSTERED NOW

Step 5: Consider Not Donating
As there are people who already want to donate to keep the server going, there will be an official way to donate, probably with "Pay for 3 weeks" and "Pay for 3 Months" options. I'm only doing this because some people have already offered, not because anyone desperately needs your money. Consider charities, if you really have too much.


What you can do
* Not get flustered yet
* If you have a login aside from the main site, forum, or gallery, contact me for new connection information.

the URL will be change?
Click to expand...

The URL will not change. But there will be a short period of time when it is not pointing to a fully working web server.
 
Hmm....I cannot seem to connect to the "correct" chat for now.

Is it possible to give the numeric address for it instead?
 
Can't access forum without proxy but I can access the correct chat room without proxy :ayashii:
 
If you are on windows and can only see this message via proxy, you can try the following:

Windows key + R >> type in "ipconfig /flushdns" >> click OK
 
RSS feed fixed.

Apparently two of our wordpress plugins got scrambled in the move. Re-installing them fixed things.
 
There is some backgroundish thing poping up after pressing "Marks topics read" button in the forum and during the waiting time for the post to be posted, the same that's on the chat now.

also the botttom of the mainsite is kinda messed up

Suggestion: why dont you put a donation button at the top of the site (next to the ones that are on the header), instead of having all of these buttons once more in the bottom of the site/forum/chat ? (it kinda looks ugly now...)
 
I get a flash of a big red screen between every forum page
maybe the footer could be a little smaller, like most sites have their footer text smaller than the normal text text
 
BEEP web font domain restrictions
HONK html rendering proceedures

The footer may be using the right font now

It was meant to me a unification thing

I shouldn't have done this on this particular Thursday drat

have a nice weekend
