Sunday morning I went to the Mirror Site and got the message "TVCH is up and running. Go There Now!" But when I clicked on it, the TVCH site was NOT up and running.

Big - since then Neil has set things up so that more people can update the message there so hopefully it will be more accurate.

Actually I really hope we won't have to worry about it again :)

TO add to Neils stat above, last years non-bb time we ran at about 500 members (up 200 members from the 1s 'off-season'). I hope the trend continues and even more people stick around after BB this year, there are a million other discussion topics on the board :)

Click "Topics" at the top of this page to start at the TOP of the board, BB is just one subtopic.

Yes, I think we're back up okay at the new URL and on the new server! I hope to delete this thread one day!

cross your fingers....

I've been checking back every few minutes praying they have this board up.....I miss my readings! You all are too funny. I hope with the new server it will not have to have as much maintenance....and it does seem faster! (but then again I have a t1 line)

Neil, are we going to get the "messages since I last checked" option back?

That search feature was sort of disabled by a fix I applied to try and stop corruption of the user lists whenever the server went down. It has been working. I will not remove that fix until I'm sure the the new server has cured the crashes, make sense? Having a solid user list (which is necessary for you to login and post etc.) is more important. I think a couple of days and we'll know for sure. Sorry for the inconvenience...

I would say "yes" - once neil is sure the server is running ok.

But - this option was disabled for most of last year during BB - its a very server-intensive thing. So don't be surprised if the answer is "no."

Question...I know that the new message feature isn't enabled right now (for the "since last time I checked"), but now none of the things I have checked in my preferences are working (opening threads in a new window, no preview, remember username and password)...is this supposed to be happening? If not, what am I doing wrong? I checked my preferences to make sure they were all checked and I saved the info again...

Edit...weird...it worked this time. Nevermind I guess.

Is it just me, or is the time on here about 10 minutes fast?

10 minutes fast according to my computer time...but who knows if that's correct, lol.

Surini, I called for the atomic clock time and the site is ten minutes fast. For once, it's not us that are off. lol

Wow, that was painless! Thanks for all the hard work, Admin and moderators... all these crashes can't have been easy. Thanks to Bomis too! Love their error messages!

Kaili - it did the same for me, has to do with it being a new server i guess.

Is work still being done on the site? For some reason when I try to navigate through it from AOL (I know, I know), I get a LOT of "can not find page/ can not load page" errors when linking from page to page. Didn't happen before this morning. No problems if using IE. I'm no computer whiz though, so it could be me...

Jogging - I'm having the same trouble with AOL. Someone else told me that AOL seems to be a little slower with navigating the new routes. Usually if I get that message, and I go back and click the link again, the second time it loads.

You may try emptying your AOL cache and see if that helps.
