Author Message   Dave Posted on Sunday, May 13, 2001 - 2:47 am:        Just finished moving the message board to a new (dedicated) server. If any posts are missing, it's because they were missed in the final backup/restore. For the time being, you may bookmark the board at: /discus Eventually, it will be under the southorangevillage.com domain. Shifting to the new server will allow us to restore more of the orginal functionality, such as e-mail notification.   Gerardryan Posted on Sunday, May 13, 2001 - 3:31 am:        Dave: stuff I posted yesterday (the Tuesday agenda) seems to be gone...   Dave Posted on Sunday, May 13, 2001 - 3:37 am:        I'll repost it in a bit. Thanks for letting me know.   Curmudgeon Posted on Sunday, May 13, 2001 - 6:31 am:        Dave - As of 3 PM, Keyword Search returns 0 results for all searches   Curmudgeon Posted on Sunday, May 13, 2001 - 6:33 am:        and the time on the system is 11 1/2 hours behind reality   Dave Posted on Sunday, May 13, 2001 - 6:38 am:        WARP CORE BREACH IN 4 MINUTES!!!   Dave Posted on Sunday, May 13, 2001 - 3:10 pm:        i hate new servers   Dave Posted on Sunday, May 13, 2001 - 3:23 pm:        Curmudgeon, I can't believe you attempted "all" searches! That's incredible. Do you have multiple SONET links? Search works again.   Gerardryan Posted on Sunday, May 13, 2001 - 6:02 pm:        i think there was another thread that had been created yesterday re: thinking about moving to maplewood. harold had posted to it, and i had... and now i cannot find it anywhere...   Harold Posted on Sunday, May 13, 2001 - 8:15 pm:        Lost in cyber-space....WARNING, WARNING, DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!!!   Dave Posted on Sunday, May 13, 2001 - 9:30 pm:        Yes, the thread was begun by Jake_struck. I cannot find the thread now, and have e-mailed Jake_struck with an explanation/apology and encouraged him to re-post. Sorry for the temporary black hole.   Lseltzer Posted on Monday, May 14, 2001 - 7:33 am:        New error. I go to the new messages page to log in and tab out of the username field I get a javascript error: Line 76 Error: document.forms.0.method.1 is null or not an object I see a reference to document.forms[0].method[1] that looks like it's looking for a checkbox, but the checkbox has another name.   Dave Posted on Monday, May 14, 2001 - 8:14 am:        Good catch, Larry. I'm on Netscape and wasn't seeing the error. New messages will go awry for another reason: the cookies that got set on browsers used the old IP address and not associated domain name, so only messages posted after transfer will appear.   Gerardryan Posted on Monday, May 14, 2001 - 8:20 am:        Um.... also editing preferences doesn't work, when you save changes, they disappear. I can't set the checkbox to save user and password, or anything else in that list of boxes. Oddly enough I *can* edit email notification....   Dave Posted on Monday, May 14, 2001 - 8:33 am:        Looks like the main profiles directory was missing. I just restored it, so try it out. Have no idea how the mail was working, though.   Gerardryan Posted on Monday, May 14, 2001 - 8:37 am:        that's fixed the profiles thing...   Dave Posted on Monday, May 14, 2001 - 8:39 am:        Larry, The checkbox is named "method" and that's what it's calling, but I think the index is wrong, so I looked at old setup and that seems to be it (fixed this once before but forgot to log it). About to give it a go....   Dave Posted on Monday, May 14, 2001 - 8:57 am:        nope. that didn't work.   Dave Posted on Monday, May 14, 2001 - 10:02 am:        At least the functionality is still there. Just have the annoying error box to deal with. I'll revisit tonight.   Dave Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2001 - 9:16 am:        OK, fixed.   Wendy Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2001 - 9:56 am:        Dave, I had always received the Java script error when I checked for new messages (after my name and before my password). Now it doesn't happen. Thanks.
