Asrai.org Server Changes
Due to the previous months of slow loading of Asrai.org, the temporary site offline time and database crashes/overloads on the behalf of our current website hosting company, we are now moving to a new hosting company. I cannot say a specific date yet, other than it will happen, and pretty soon.
What will this mean for you, as a user?
Well, two things mainly.
1. During a short period, the site will go down for an unspecified amount of time while the actual transfer is being made. This will be announced in time.
2. Secondly, and more importantly, the current address of woodelves.org will be changed into the proper asrai.org domain. This means that all links that currently have woodelves.org/anything in it will have to be changed into asrai.org/anything
I will try to go through all posts on the first page(s) of all forums and change links in those posts, but all of your bookmarks maybe need updating. We'll see once it actually happens.
More as the story develops...

Re: Asrai.org Server Changes
UPDATE
The new host has been bought, and the domain Asrai.org is being transferred. If you enter "www.asrai.org" into your browser's address field and come to a blank page or a page you did not intend to visit, try the "real" http://www.woodelves.org which should still work.

Re: Asrai.org Server Changes
If things work this time (third or fourth time I do the transfer thing), the new server should be running by next weekend. It'll then take me a while to copy all files and get the new server functional, so I won't put a date on things yet.
All I wanted you to know is that things are in motion.

Re: Asrai.org Server Changes
UPDATE
http://www.asrai.org is now up and working. It will take me time to move all the files and data from woodelves.org to the new host, but my preliminary guess is that we'll make the move sometime this weekend. Might take longer due to the database's size. I'd have to call in some experts to help me there.

Re: Asrai.org Server Changes
MAJOR UPDATE!
The move is done! Hyarion has been a wonderful help with the entire database move, and my slow internet hasn't made things better. It took far longer than I had expected, but the move is finally done! We are still looking over all the data to see nothing was missed in the transfer, but it looks alright. The only miss was my own. I forgot to upload the images folder, which is why avatars were not working for the first 5 minutes (uploading as I write this).I will go through all topics on the first page of all forums to try and fix all broken links due to the move. I need to go to bed soon, so let me know if you find anything and I'll fix it tomorrow (or my trusted Council of Elders can step in and edit a post here and there). Thanks for being so patient with me during this move.

Re: Asrai.org Server Changes
As some have noted, smilies are not fully functional just yet. I'm working on it, but will probably not get them done tonight (I should have been going to bed almost two hours ago).
Keep letting me know what things you find. The more notifications I get, the quicker I will notice them myself and do something about it.

Bug or what?
My chat isn't working again. At first time I fixed it by using Ulthuan skin which allowed me to use chat but now when name of this site changed it doesn't allow me to use chat at all. When I click Chatroom it Logs me out. Why is that? (Did you even understand? )

Have you tried logging in and out again? With a new site, you need to remind your browser that it should save your password and stuff here as well. If that still doesn't work, we can all blame Hyarion for messing up the sessions data.Just wanted to let you know that this option isn't working. I have to re-login every time I come to the board.

The lack of avatars is quite irritating. What is the problem there?

Re: Asrai.org Server Changes
I see the avatars. Who else does not?
As for the constant logout error, I have found the problem (or rather, I have eliminated all other possible ones, including a friggin' fresh install of the phpBB system as well as a recreation of the skins and layout and whatnot. Sorry for the downtime that caused, by the way.
The issue with the logout problem is due to the new host. There's a setting in the database that needs to be fixed, either by my database guru Hyarion, or by our new host. I will look into it.
In the meantime, if you want to use the chatroom, I can divert you to the Ulthuan.net chat applet, or the Warvault.net chat applet. I shall investigate further once I get in touch with Hyarion.
I have fixed some links in the navigation, as well as the LEAF - but not yet the "Discuss Thread" links in each article. That's for later tonight or tomorrow. Also, the search does not work (I think). I will rebuild it when traffic slows down a bit (it takes a few hours of processing, and I'd like to speed it up as much as I can).

Re: Asrai.org Server Changes
When I reply to a post, the Avatars, which I see when I start, disappear. Refreshing the browser does not help, refreshing the topic by reloading it, does work.

Re: Bug or what?
Close your browser, re-open it, and come to Asrai.org, you're not logged in. Actually, login, and then browser to http://www.asrai.org/ and you'll be logged out. Seems dependent on the sid variable being carried in the address bar.Nagathi wrote:Have you tried logging in and out again?

Also, when you post, all the Smilies (right-hand toolbar when in Edit mode) is a list of text instead
And the Avatar Images are missing for me too.

Re: Asrai.org Server Changes
Odd.. very odd. It must be a database entry, which means it got lost in Hyarion's database transfer
I'll see what I can do.

My guess is that the Ranks need to be repaired with the user names they belong to, but I personally saw that the data was transferred.

Re: Asrai.org Server Changes
The auto-logout issue has now been solved! The fault is entirely mine. More accurately, my neglect or stupid mind. In my controls for the site, I have power over the cookies that gets saved on your computer. Those cookies stores information about the site you are on, including session controls. The settings had not been changed to asrai.org from woodelves.org. That's why they failed to work properly. Now I've fixed the error, but it requires you all to clear your browser cache and delete old cookies. After you've done that, things should be back to normal.
As that is working, I will now reinstate the chatroom. Ranks are to be done (25 ranks and I can't remember what user to go with what rank.. Gah! If you know you've been rewarded a non-Council rank, remind me which one was you again )
