    Ok, we're now on the new server. There are a few things for me to clean up (like getting the SSL Certificate to work on the Shop), so if you find any, please post them in this thread.

    Also, please provide feedback on your experience with the performance of the new server.

    Thanks for your patience!

    Wow! much snappier response! Waiting for a page to load seems bandwidth dependent rather than server dependent. THANKS!

    weird, I just posted and nothing showed up...
    I was asking about the dns flush you'd recommended at hybridchat. is that something we need to do or does it not matter too much.

    So good so far...

    Will this help me find old broken links though?

    Evan, you don't need to worry about that unless you were having trouble accessing the site. Some people might have some problems with their ISP pointing them to the old server instead of the new one.

    I haven't moved over the old forums' database, but I will. hobbit put together a good "how-to" on migrating your links to the new board.

    Ok, I just tried to reply to a thread and it took me to a page that looked like the frontpage but with a 2 in the center content portion. Anyone else getting that?

    Yes. It was really annoying because it also lost my post.

    I can post normal posts, but not when I try to post a post with a hyperlink included.

    EDIT: I also can't switch the editor mode.

    EDIT (part 2): I also can't preview a post with a hyperlink.

    Cannot Post with a Hyperlink in the Post

    That's what happened to me too.

    And like dogfriend mentioned, the worst part is that it lost my post.

    I tried this 3 times, and each time the same things happened.

    But as Skywre mentioned, my failed posts had a hyperlink in them.

    New posting seem to be working fine for me....

    I just tried to edit my signature. No Joy! The entry page was fine but when I hit [Submit] the next page looked like most of the objects were missing. I went back in through the "User CP" link and the old signature was still there.

    Response is GREAT!

    Nope, got the blank-in-the-middle home page and no post when adding a hyperlink.

    I don't know if it helps, but it happened twice when trying to reply to this thread:

    Fuel Economy > that great misconception

    Instead of posting my reply, it goes to the frontpage with a 2 in the center.

    When I included the link to that thread in this post, it also took me to the page with the 2 in the center. grrrrrrrr

    Yep that's what it is, it borks your post if you include a link.

    For me, the "2" shows in the upper left corner when I have tried to post or preview.

    Hitting the back button cause my typed replies to disappear . . . [This would be know as a FEATURE to some. ;) ] . . . but leaves the original post to which I was replying still in the box.

    it borks your post even if you DON'T include a link.
