I think...

Therefore I am?

No, um, I think it's all back up - DearDiary.Net that is, the forums, Hamipiks and OpenFiction are still down at the moment due to me only having one pair of hands :) The DNS has not yet changed I am using the old server as a proxy front end for the new server in case I have to switch off in a hurry. Once I'm happy that things really are working ok then I shall adjust the DNS too. I don't foresee any major problems that will require me to roll it all back to the old server so it shouldn't be long.

What that means though is that for the time being the username subdomains will NOT work (ie, you can't get to this page by going to http://deardiary1.deardiary.net) until the DNS is successfully switched. Everything else should work just fine though.

As usual please let me know if there's anything broken. Once this change settles down I can get on and do my planned improvements.

Anyone that wants to use HamiMail will need to e-mail me personally ([email protected]) and put in a request at the moment - the system is not in place to do it automatically. Please remember as of now that you need to be a Plus user in order to have a @deardiary.net address and use HamiMail.

Ok - go have fun - let's see what happens next!!

    I just tried to post an entry from Bloggar but got an error message. That must be because of the transition. I copied and pasted instead.
    I'll try again tomorrow and see if it's working then.

    Thanks for the new stuff!!

    I want to let you know that I appreciated having the little explination screen come up when DD was down. It was so much more reasuring than in the past when the page just wasn't found. Thanks for that extra bit of service!

    I am trying to post this on DD1 as a comment but my passwords aren't being honored after many attempts. NOw I could cuz I found the trick how. Lol.

    Just to help you troubleshoot things....

    1.) My graphics and button designs aren't showing up.:((( All I see are squares with x's.

    2.) My password is rejected on some diaries I tried to comment to. And I have attempted not less than three times.

    On others though, I noticed my username and password were already logged in which if it's already logged in, my comments get posted, but if it's not and I type it in, my comment box would say wrong username/password. Hmmmm.....

    My trick? I go back to my dropdown menu and re-enter my friend's diary page to get in a comment box with my id logged in again. Did you make it autolog-in? I hope not.
