You can make your money back by scalping tickets to tonight's forum event.  That's what I did.  I made a tons of money selling tickets to the Sprint Center's open house.  8-[

Everyone can get together and drink beer while we watch Bahua mess with the forum mechanics.

Don't say that too loud, bahua will hear and he will skip migrating the forum to come drink beer!

Done! At 10:10pm! Now, I will go and get a beer.

Everyone will notice that the url is now set to a temporary one, but forum.kcrag.com will get you here. It will be this odd until tomorrow morning, when the DNS change is complete, and I change the forum url config to point all the links at forum.kcrag.com.

Please report issues, if you find them.

Also, it is highly recommended that you clear your cookies.

Okay, things are screwy now, because I had to actually delete the subdomain from the old host. I had to delete it because the DNS servers on the old host were keep the overall DNS changes from taking effect. I'm afraid we're going to have to endure this while the update takes place, and I think it'll probably be a couple of hours too.

Please bear with me, this will all be over soon.

That must be part of the "screwiness" of the forum right now.  I assume it'll be fixed...

If You use Mozilla you do not have to worry about spell check.

Ah, so there is. I found out why it isn't working. The spellcheck module was not compiled with the version of PHP that's on this server. You'll have to do without until they see fit to support it.

Most web browsers have built-in spellcheckers anyway, though.

The site is still a little screwy for me.

• It's slow.
• It's not updating very well.
• It's not letting me post (times out).
• It's not loading properly.
• It's not always loading the icons and photos, etc.

Is is just me?  Is it just my computer or are other people have the same problems too?

Wow! I haven't experienced anything like that. It's much faster than it used to be, for me. My pageloads are averaging about 0.1 seconds.

I would recommend you(and everyone, for that matter) clear your browser's cache and cookies, as you probably are still struggling with some residuals from the old location.

The "Search" function seems to be screwy. Anyone else having problems with it? It seems to pull in every thread, rather than those that have the term I am looking for.
