Lufty Report post Posted December 19, 2005 Dear All On behalf of the hosts and moderators, may I welcome you to our new home We really hope the new hosting arrangements and upgraded software will provide a stable and reliable home for the forum. This is obviously a MAJOR change for the forum and initial teething problems will be inevitable, but worthwhile for the long term gain. The new platform and forum software gives us greater flexibility and functionality, which we plan to introduce once the forum has settled down a little, for example the introduction of a chat room. Your patience during this period of upheaval is greatly appreciated. Please use this thread to post any issues or suggestions you have for the forum. Finally, please accept this forum as our krismas present to you all ! Kind regards Elefan, Kris, Lufty, Nellie, Baddad and Bid The Forum Hosts and Moderators Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

littlenemo Report post Posted December 20, 2005 (edited) Just got my first error, while trying to post this on the forum change thread - it said that some files were missing Try again... Well, that would explain it. You axed the thread It's possible to give the person the choice of skins in their CP,rather than just having the default. Ooh ooh ooh! Is this feasable? Cos (depite earlier postings ) I don't like to complain, but to my eye the grey-blue of the new skin isn't as bright and friendly as the turquoise-blue with small splashes of colour (the buttons) of the old one.

TuX Report post Posted December 20, 2005 Tell us about it... and a few worrying moment but its all working now. Lufty is working on the logo but expect a logo competition to hit the forum shortly. Kris Had you been gradually transferring the files,or was the complete transfer done tonight? I have seen transfers and upgrades take over a week to complete,and was not expecting to see Krism back up tomorrow,very good work to all of you. Ooh ooh ooh! Is this feasable? praying.gif Cos (depite earlier postings whistle.gif ) I don't like to complain, but to my eye the grey-blue of the new skin isn't as bright and friendly as the turquoise-blue with small splashes of colour (the buttons) of the old one. It should be possible,if there isn't already the option in admin CP now,there will be a hack available to turn on the function. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fiorelli Report post Posted December 20, 2005 there should be a link from www.krism.org.uk and ww.krism.org.uk/asp Any idea who has had problems? Ummm me! And I thought I saw that Suze had a few problems too. BUT, I went into the old forum by my bookmark which took me to a 'login' screen. (my bookmark usually takes me to the Forums page and not the home page) Just thought that if I had problems maybe others would too. Would there be a way of putting a link or a 'We have Moved' note where the old forums used to be? (if you know what I mean) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phasmid Report post Posted December 20, 2005 The link from the old site was working fine at lunchtime when I logged on from work computer (Yes! I am that sad I visit whilst at work as well). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lufty Report post Posted December 20, 2005 I've found the problem - It should be resolved shortly Hi Everyone We have been busy on this issue and think we have come up with a solution to users bookmarking various parts of the www.krism.org.uk site. Now whenever you try to access anywhere on the www.krism.org.uk site you are redirected to the home page which then re-directs you to the www.asd-forum.org.uk home page after ten seconds. Do not worry if you are confused - We have tested it and it appears to work but please try it for yourself Kind regards Lufty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
