Chisoxfn Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Its been a very long week, but Soxtalk is back on action on a brand new server with 24/7 tech support via an 1800 number. Its taken a long time and a lot of work but I think things will be freaking awesome on this new server. We were kicked off of our old server because the site grew to big, but we never recieved info informing us of that. There are still some things that won't be perfect, like some dead graphics because we still have to move some stuff from our old server when I get access to it, which hopefully will be tomorrow. Thats why some of the smilies won't load. Anyway...thanks for sticking by us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 24, 2003 Author Share Posted November 24, 2003 Oh ya, I shoudl mention all uploaded images are off the server from previous posts, so you'll have to redo those. Sorry, about that, but thats something I didn't move with because of the massive size. I will try to do that sometime this week if its possible.

bjmarte Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 WOO HOO! I've missed my soxtalk fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjmarte Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Just FYI, I went to re-upload my sig and it gave me an error saying it was either the wrong format or too big. It's sized down to 7kb so I don't think it was too large and it was in jpg format. I know you guys are probably swamped so no hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sized down to 7kb so I don't think it was too large and it was in jpg format. I know you guys are probably swamped so no hurry. I have to go through and change a lot of the settings back to what they used to be. I did a fresh install of the board and then dumped all the database into it. This should give a lot cleaner coding. Were also going to be a lot more careful from now on when we add code to the board, because at times it will put a lot more pressure on the server and until we move to a fully dedicated server (Which is in the plans...this company offers them at a fair price, so in the future thats gonna be our next move as the site continues to grow).

It kind of relates to both the stadium and us going to the new server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox4lifeinPA Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 do you guys just pay out of pocket? how do you fundraise for that stuff? cos I'm sure more than a few of us would donate money to "the cause" via paypal. i mean, I'd give you 5 bucks if i knew it'd help. just a thought.

It's sized down to 7kb so I don't think it was too large and it was in jpg format. I know you guys are probably swamped so no hurry. I think it was the actual size of it. I got the standard size up to 125x125 and upped the file size by a bit, but I think its 20kb. I also thing I made it where you can now post .bmp's as well since before they were not a useable attachement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, we just pay out of pocket. Its not really too bad, but were going to try to do a few things to raise some funds so we can go to a dedicated server, which will mean minimal minimal downtime We always want to keep this place free!!!!

Chisoxfn Posted November 24, 2003 Author Share Posted November 24, 2003 OK, got it fixed now. I had the directory where the uploads go, chmod wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Though I'm practically repeating everything that's been said.....I'm glad everything's back up.....I'm sure I speak for all, when I say we really appreciate everything's that been done. Ha, I like the double meaning banner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted November 24, 2003 Author Share Posted November 24, 2003 Can you possibly fix my sig? Thats my next goal. Looking through stuff, there is no way I'm gonna be able to save everyone sig, simply because of how many uploaded images there are on the server. Their are well over 1000 that have been uploaded by users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Does this mean I will be doing absolutely nothing from now on? Also, beastly, email me with what we talked about. I have to go to a city council meeting for my government class, so I won't respond right away, but email me so I remember. I guess if anyone else wants to email me, they can too.
