I just finished moving all the websites over to another server, your DNS may take a day or two to update. If you have any problems private message me.

I will be changing the forum software from Invision Powerboard to Simple Machines Forum today. IPB v1.3 is outdated and a new version is not free. I cannot update the server to the latest builds of PHP because of incompatibilities between IPB and the newest version of PHP.

XMPP has been transferred to the new server and updated to the most recent build. DNS may take a day or two to changeover. I have since shutdown XMPP on the old server so you will not be able to connect to it.

Nice to see that you still care about opu. IPB 1.3 is ancient software, so the switch to SMF seems like a good idea. I'm confident that everything will work well or better.

Why's my display picture the size of a moon?

Seriously, can we re-add the sign up protection, cause this is insane with the amount of porn being added :/

This is getting kind of strange. Also, is the forum interface supposed to be replaced by pure text with a white background? Because I have difficulties navigating.

And we already have a major problem with spam bots. And avatars aren't being resized.

Well, it's definitely better now than it was before!

Flashy · « **Reply #9 on:** August 28, 2013, 02:02:50 PM »

Whew, having trouble getting along with the forum interface. However, I think it could be worse. We could have lost the bump thread.

The forums are not loading properly for me and I lose connection to them randomly. Any idea what's going on? I really don't want to lose this place!

Spikerocks101 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 03, 2013, 11:50:19 PM »

The forums work for me well (be it a bit ugly). I wouldn't know what you are experiencing.

TH300 · « **Reply #12 on:** September 05, 2013, 10:50:20 AM »

Yes, its still a matter of luck. Half of the time I cannot connect to forum.outpost2.net. When I can connect, half of the time the style sheet is not loaded.

Well, it looks like this: http://i.cubeupload.com/93glbl.png

And I get errors on http://www.outpostuniverse.net/

just a random guess, but could your browser possible not support the latest HTML?

TH300 · « **Reply #15 on:** September 08, 2013, 06:01:01 PM »

The forum and website are working fine for me, now.

We need to do something against the bots, though.

Arklon · « **Reply #16 on:** September 18, 2013, 05:41:40 PM »

Replace the math question at registration with the OPU-specific question we used to have on the IPB forums.

TH300 · « **Reply #17 on:** September 27, 2013, 05:57:16 PM »

Its time to get the New Terra skin back. I volunteer to port it to the new forum engine. Just give me the files.

Spikerocks101 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 27, 2013, 10:06:07 PM »

I second that.

Eddy-B · « **Reply #19 on:** October 08, 2013, 03:57:21 PM »

Thanx for letting everyone know personally about this (yes, that was sarcasm: one email would have sufficed).

Anyway, I now seem to be missing data from august 17 until october 7th. Is it possible to receive the latest backup of the old server (october 4th, i believe it was rebooted?). All i need is the MySQL database backup, so i can try and fit the data back in, although the auto-increments are going to be tricky

All in all, i'm glad it's all up and running again.
