We're getting there !

The new server has been installed and we'll start the migration very soon now.

I'll lock the forum so we won't loose any posts. This means the forum will be closed for a day or 2, the time DNS needs to redirect.

I hope to have fixed everything by next weekend.

O boy, have I been living in very excited times...

You probably will have noticed that KM had dissapeared and that it took some time to be back.

Let me explain what happened: our hoster tried to migrate the server. Normally this would not make the current site unavailable, but it did: they tried to create the migration files on the old server. Since those disks were more than 50% full, the disks were written 99.99% full, making the old server inoperable  Embarrassed

Luckely, the did manage to migrate the KM domain... but .... without the forum...  Undecided

My haert stopped beating for a while... just imagine that all those posts were lost  Embarrassed

Luckely, we once created the backup mechanisme, so I did have a backup of the forum content. After loading this up and trying to restore the forum's database, we were back alive  wOO

I'm glad I could solve this and I hope to greet you back  wOO

I hope you can forgive me you had to miss KM a bit longer than planned.

But hey: we're on a brand new powerfull and ecological server !!!

Been so quiet on the old interwebs with out KM, damn glad it's back.

Congrats on getting it all sorted Moon, I can only guess how much of a headache it's been.

Of course, if you'd been using Windows, and not some freebie OS with a silly name.............

Only kidding!! lol

Glad to be back Wink

I must admit, I'm not really a fan of the forum opening in a popup, personally I like it in the same window I'm already using.

Is it just me, or is there no scroll bar on the side when the forum opens?  Being unable to use my mouse wheel to scroll down to the bottom of the page means I'm missing 1/2 the page Sad

Ive cleared my cache etc but to no avail.

Also when I try to reset my password on the profile page  - the captcha is blank, so I can't change my password.

The scrollbar is there now.

And yes, there was a problem with the captcha. That is has been solved earlier today, but you need to restart your PC to get the new captcha (or clear the cash Tongue ) The captcha is generated with your session ID, so you need a new one.

Let me know if it works after rebooting...

OK... I think I've nailed this one : James, can you check it again. You don't have to restart your PC, just close the tab or window where kara-moon.com is displaying and try to log on again and change your password...

P.S.: good to see some of you guys have time to make music while I'm sweating this out...  Undecided

Moon,
 Lips Sealed

It's mostly looking good, at last ..... thank you for all your hard work.

I managed to log in, after shutting down and returning later, changed my password to one of my own choice and altered some text in my profile.
The very strange thing is that .....
the first words in my profile are:
I\'m James, usually known as OffTheWall

I have tried a number of times to delete the \ from the first word, but it will not go away. Each time it actually gets deleted in the text box but when the page updates the darn thing is back again  Roll Eyes
I know it is a very minor point ..... but can you think of a reason why it is happening?  Embarrassed
