Nuketown

Transitions

Nuketown is switching hosting providers, and that could result in some strange errors as the DNS servers switch over and I figure out what I forgot to move from the old site to the new one.

Errors will probably be limited to the occasional weird MySQL result complaint, and perhaps a few lost pages, but we expect all of the hiccups to be over within 48 hours. At that point we'll be able to do some really cool things ... like install our bright, shiny new message forum!

Good news everyone! The DNS changes have propigated, and now you're reading this on Nuketown's brand-spanking new server. Some minor problems popped up during the move, but so far they seem to be limited to my forgetting to recreate on MySQL database table and not downloading the most recent version of the NukeShop images folder, resulting in a lot of shop images not showing up anymore. That should be fixed by tomorrow, if not sooner.

As for the promised new message forums ... that may be up by the end of today, depending how much time I have to muck with stuff over lunch. At the very least, they should be up by Monday.

My short lunch was spent fixing problems with the Links section rather than working on the new forum; turns out I had a few lingering MySQL errors to straighten out. They're back up and running now.
