DBB Move

Post by KoolBear »

UPDATED - MOVE COMPLETED - Post problems/issues in the DBB Feedback Forum please!

It's possible that a few of the newest posters are missing avatars. At this present moment I am too tired and lazy to deal with it!

KB



The DBB will begin the move tonight, I will backup the database tonight and begin the move.

Worse case a couple of days, best case 4 -6 hours.

KB,
it could be my technical uselessness.... or there may be a problem that i should report to you.

my avatar is a red x. i tried uploading a new picture 3 times and everytime it has sql errors on the top of the screen and it remains a red x. in fact vinces is a red x.

ok im done typing red x... it's almost a band name 500,000 other geeks came up with.

I didn't move the latest of avatars but will do so, was up till 4am trying to get this running :) and started again when I got home from work.

I hadn't planned on addressing it tonight but your post changed my mind, if your avatar is on the DBB I will bring it over.

I changed the settings on the avatar directory, maybe what I had wasn't ample. Hopefully that will correct the issue you mentioned.

So what will be the preferred address for the DBB going forward?

http://panda.ultrawhb.com/~descent/

or

http://www.descentbb.net/


I seem to be able to hit it with both of these at the moment. Freaky.

DescentBB.net is the preferred but not for everyone for a day maybe two, for some of us the DNS switch was almost instantanious (sp?)
and yes it was freaky.

The Cope,

I wonder why yours isn't showing up? I just finished transfering ALL avatars over from the DBB.

When did you last upload it?

TheCope,

As you can see I was able to add an image to your user profile. It was from a file I have locally.

Feel free to change it. For whatever reason I guess your image was one that didn't make the move.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

I'm experiencing intermittant long load times. Can happen at anytime, like when entering a thread it may take 5 min. to do so. Other times loading is very fast. Have experienced it at all different times of the day.

Maybe it is just Copsy's new avatar. :wink:

You are correct roid, for most people descentbb.net should already be functioning.
