Landracing.com is moving, now!

[bobc]

Folks,

Be aware that the move to the new server is happening starting today or tomorrow morning.  That means that once I've grabbed the Forum database,  posts done on the old server will not transfer over.  To tell which machine you're looking at, go to the landracing.com home page, that will tell you.  All should be shook out in a day or two.   

Thanks for your patience,
Bob the Web Elf

Where will it tell us Bob? I don't see any indication right now.

Why not consolidate "Moving Now" and "Monday evening or Tuesday Morning"? Verrrrrry confusing and us ol' guys don't need that.

I still don't see where the indication is on the home page.

If it says "Please be aware that the entire website - landracing.com, the Forum, and all of the associated bits and pieces...", that's the old site. 

If it says "This is the new site! ", it's the new one. 

Sorry about the confusion, I can't do some important things, I have to get Dan the guy at the 'old' host to do them for me.  He's being very helpful, but there is some coordination required, and even then we can't just flip a switch and make it happen. 

This is still the current forum, and stuff posted now will be preserved and transferred over to the new site.

[bobc]

OK, 10:00 AM 12/27, this is the end of the forum with our old host.  Any posts made after this time will not be transferred to the new site, even though the forum will still be up.

I'll post here again, when the new forum is functional, with a temporary address that will take you to the new site.

Smilies and screen icons are showing as RED X's on my page

[Peter Jack]

It appears that the avatars didn't move with everything else. The only one that shows for me is "tomsmp" and this is his first post so he probably registered after the move. Where the avatars normally show is a blue box with a white question mark.

  Hey!  I am here!  Or am I?       
  Anyway, Happy New Year!!          Bob

[bobc]

The avatars are there, but the page can't find 'em.  I've been beating my head against that for a week.

As I'm posting, I have all the smilies, let's see how they show in the post.

Oh, tomsmp is me, that's a test of the registration function.  New avatars DO show up, and ones that are linked from an external site show too.

Onward,
Bob the Web Elf

Bobc, just so you know we're racers, so impatience comes with the territory. At the same time we do appreciate your effort and we do understand that there are problems involved in getting the results a person is looking for. Keep up the good work and the results will come! (We all work under that dillusion.) 

Oh oh, the spell check seems to have disappeared.

It's working here just a couple of things missing.

Hi, Glen.  Maybe you're right now looking at the other "moving" thread, maybe not.  But I just went to the new home page and clicked on Chat Line -- and sure enough it led me there.  It took a minute or so to get going - and either that's the usual or it takes a while.  But it did work.
