Forum move to new server

[Pumaman]

Ok, I've moved the games page to the new server now, so your profiles should now be hooked up correctly.

[Pumaman]

Right, sorry for the delay, but e-mail notifications should be working again now.

[IndieBoy]

I wasn't able to connect to the forums for the last few hours. I dunno if it was my end or yours, but my Internet connection seems to be ok.

[Pumaman]

Yes, the server had a hardware failure when one of the hard drives died. It's now back up.

I felt the aftershocks

[Pumaman]

Ok, I finally got around to sorting the domain names out, so www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk should once again be the main all-encompassing URL for the AGS website and forums. You'll probably all find that you've been logged out by the forums changing from more. back to www. but you can just log in again to fix that.

Any problems let me know.

When I click on "Mark all messages as read" I get this message:

"Unable to verify referring url. Please go back and try again."

EDIT: Now it's working.
EDIT2: Hm, no, it doesn't.

Try signing out of www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb then back in there. If that doesn't work, try deleting your cache and cookies. If that doesn't work, cry.

[Pumaman]

You might have "www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb" in your favourites -- best thing to do is delete the AGS Forums from your favourites, go to:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/
and then add it back again.

Worked. Thanks!

I just noticed, when I wanted to copy and paste the URL of a particular thread, that I can't do that.
No matter where you are on the forums the address http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forum/ always remains in the address box.  This is nice and neat, but how does one copy and paste the URL?

[Tuomas]

This is strange. I don't get that at all...

What if you copy/paste this on it http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=29071.new#new and then try looking at links again. My address bar gets jammed sometimes too.

[Stupot]

I yeh I see.  Thanks Tuomas.
If I log onto the bigbluecup domain then the addresses come up as normal, it's only when I log onto the adventuregamestudio domain that it seems to hide them from me... Interesting quirk... haha

[AGA]

That's not a quirk, adventuregamestudio.co.uk just loads the site in a frame. You shouldn't really use it if you know the real site/forums domain, only if the forums disappear for some reason.

[Stupot]

I didn't realise you shouldn't use it... Infact I discovered AGS via the co.uk domain first and have used the two in pretty much equal measures.

The main reason I ever used bigbluecup at all was as an alternative at college because the co.uk domain has the word 'game' in it and was therefore blocked.

That's not a quirk, adventuregamestudio.co.uk just loads the site in a frame. You shouldn't really use it if you know the real site/forums domain, only if the forums disappear for some reason.

Funny, the redirect page when the forums moved said the exact opposite...

[AGA]

Well that's silly. Having a frame with unusable hyperlinks isn't something to aim for!

[Pumaman]

Yeah the frames are annoying, it's the way that the DNS registrar I'm using do their redirection. I'm going to see if I can set up a DNS server on the AGS server to handle it instead.

[WHAM]

Remembered this thread and thought I'd ask: am I correct to understand that "My Games" part of our profiles should be operational again? If so, then is it possible that my only finished game was left in some kind of limbo, as it is not showing on my profile at all,, or is this normal?

Thanks!

[SSH]

That'll be because you're not listed in the "was brought to you by" section...
