If you’re reading this, you’re talking to our new server, in a new datacentre, on a new hosting provider… Hopefully everything works OK – some of the ‘user data’ is still being copied across so you might not see your proper index texts or individual buttons for a few more hours – but they’re coming…
Ok, after all the pain of the last week you’d think I’d be over it… I am. But I have to move to a new server because otherwise DearDiary will be on a server on its own and it can’t afford to pay for that – so it has to go where all the other…
The new shiny server turned out to be a pile of poo and I had to revert everything back to the old server. The hardware was not set up correctly and the server technicians answer was ‘we will need to reload your server’… My response was ‘I don’t think so – I have 100 customers…
I have today been battling with a server software update – various parts of the system have been updated to provide better security and performance, and for some of Kabarty’s customers, easier usage too. Unfortunately as always these things are never a case of plain sailing and many of you will have noticed extended periods…
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! We hope that 2008 will bring you everything you want for yourselves! At a personal level 2007 brought us lots of joy and will be very hard to beat. We bought a new dog, bought our own house and got married. 2007 also saw the emergence of more new websites and the…
Here you can read about an effective discount to the Plus Account Price. Some of you may remember that we recently announced that DearDiary.Net was now being operated by Kabarty Pty Ltd from Australia – and we noted that it is still owned and operated by Rose and Steve. This is still true – and…
If you are, we cannot send e-mails to you. SBCGlobal repeatedly add our mail server to their antispam blacklist and as such we cannot get mail through because their server rejects it. I have written to them on a number of occasions and have been removed, only to be added back into the blacklist again…
I’ve received a few reports of strange database errors happening, including people whose Friends Lists have suddenly disappeared. At present I’m not seeing these problems under any of my accounts, and so I’m really not sure what at all is happening. If I can get to repeat the problems, or get someone else who can…
Hello all, As some of you may be aware, I’m now living in Australia and have been for a few months. A few years ago, the company that owns DearDiary.Net (and OpenFiction) was renamed from Hamiko Ltd to Kabarty Ltd though it’s taken some time for parts of the site to be updated to reflect…
Or, you just get a 403, Forbidden error message… Yeah, sorry. The server was recently compromised by some unscrupulous bots that exploit weaknesses in various scripts that are available on the internet. Usually phpBB, but the list is growing. I’ve therefore tightened up the security settings for the server, but it appears these settings are…
