Title: Changes to the Forum
Post by: Mince on September 07, 2009, 11:45:47 AM
Nigel and I are moving the forum to a new host tonight.

Temporarily, you will only be able to access this account using this URL, so make a note of it.

www.cameldung.co.uk

Later, you should once again be able to get there also using www.board.beaupeep.com.

I will also upgrade the forum, but this means for a while it will lose the backgrounds and theme.

Oh, Lordy. If you don't hear from me for a week or so, send out a search party. I'll be roaming about the internet somewhere, trying to find my way in here.

By tonight, I presume you mean later tonight rather than this evening... I've just tried the cameldung.co.uk URL and went to one of those domain list things. I wanted to add the URL to my Google Chrome history in case I couldn't get on to the board.beaupeep URL, which I can at the moment.

At least I think I can.

Tom, is that you? Where are you? It's dark here.

Don't panic, Roger... I don't think the work's started yet. At least it's not started here yet... I've still got my background.

Hang on. I've just bumped into a naked lady. TOM! WHERE ARE YOU? TARKS? I'M GOING TOWARDS THE LIGHT!!!

About bloody time!

I expect the lights will go out while you're snoozing anyway, guys.  It'll be Malc, Diane and I who are wandering around in the dark.  I probably won't be around - going to get my hairdressers.

You're "going to get your hairdressers"? What on earth did they do?
Title: Re: Changes to the Forum
Post by: Tom on September 07, 2009, 10:21:05 PM
No, Roger, while Joan won't be around, she's going to get her hairdressers to wander around in the dark with Malc and Diane...
Title: Re: Changes to the Forum

Wooops!! LOL! They haven't done it yet! Was in a hurry to go for my walk - riveting stuff this! Meant to say to get my hair done.  :P

Reading this topic is a little like watching youngsters act drunk when they don't know that everything they have been drinking is alcohol free.

We haven't started yet.

Oh.
Title: Re: Changes to the Forum
Post by: Tom on September 08, 2009, 07:31:59 PM
Have you started now?
Title: Re: Changes to the Forum
Post by: The Peepmaster on September 08, 2009, 08:24:59 PM
Have you started now?

We have the domain name and virtual server set up, but the only access to it would be through my existing control panel. (I have numerous other sites hosted via this control panel.) Mince needs to have access so he can work his wizardry. Mince having access to my control panel doesn't bear thinking about.

With the help of the hosting company, I've managed to create a new control panel, just for Mince, and they are going to move the domain and virtual server to that. Should be tomorrow.

I honestly haven't a clue what that was all about. Roger, could you please explain it to us?
Title: Re: Changes to the Forum
Post by: Roger Kettle on September 08, 2009, 09:16:23 PM
It's all about control panel access, Tarks. Thankfully, we've got the virtual server in place which helps the process along. If you're using a laptop, you may have to slap the lid a few times to get it all going.
Title: Re: Changes to the Forum
Post by: Mince on September 08, 2009, 09:30:12 PM
And keep in mind that Roger knows virtually nothing.

Would this by synchronised lid snapping Roger? If so what hour in GMT? I'm sure those of us in Canada and Austrailia would want to do our bit even if it means staying up past our bedtime.
Title: Re: Changes to the Forum
Post by: Tom on September 08, 2009, 09:45:16 PM
Although I'm not using a laptop, if a group lid slapping is required I'm sure I've a lid somewhere I can slap.
Title: Re: Changes to the Forum
Post by: Mince on September 08, 2009, 10:04:16 PM
The best time for the group lid slapping is 12:34AM GMT. Make sure you sing "I've just come back from the Windy City...." as you do so, since this helps along the "process", as Roger so eloquently put it.
Title: Re: Changes to the Forum
Post by: Roger Kettle on September 08, 2009, 10:07:47 PM
I'll be in bed but I'll set my alarm so I can sing along.

Time suits me fine - should still be having breakfast. I'm running late this morning. Just off on my walk.  Beautiful spring morning here - not a cloud in the sky, slight breeze making the leaves on the trees glisten in the sunlight. The spiders have been hard at work in between the pool fence posts and their webs are glistening as well.  Excuse me, there's a ruddy great huge rabbit just hopped along the side of the pool - she dashes out to yell at it before it munches on the new plants!

It's hiding somewhere out there.  I miss Ben - he never caught any (thank goodness) but he gave them a good run for their money.  :)

It concerns  me somewhat that I understood everything Peeps said.  I'm turning into a geek!

I'm a bit frustrated at the moment. I bought another domain name today, as well as a virtual server to go with it. I've uploaded a new website and have a form on there. However, even though I've configured it correctly, (as far as I can see), and uploaded the FormMail.pl to the cgi-bin - it's not working!
Title: Re: Changes to the Forum
Post by: Joan on September 09, 2009, 12:12:12 AM
Thanks, Peeps - now you're losing me! :D
Title: Re: Changes to the Forum
Post by: Tom on September 09, 2009, 07:20:24 PM
Has the work been completed now? I've noticed that I can access the forum now, whereas this morning I received a message saying the service had been suspended.
Title: Re: Changes to the Forum
Post by: The Peepmaster on September 10, 2009, 01:09:36 AM
Yes, the service was suspended because the toss-pots hadn't realised they'd been paid an excess fee by BACS. That's twice that's happened.

I'm working with Mince to switch forums, but its bloody hopeless. We're almost there. He's been threatening to say I'm slagging people off, which all my friends, especially the dear ones, like Diane, will know isn't like me at all.

It sounds like you're busy. I'll leave you to it then.

If she's too expensive, wouldn't it be better to trade her in for three or four cheaper ones?
Title: Re: Changes to the Forum
Post by: The Peepmaster on September 10, 2009, 09:53:20 AM
Actually, I was unfair. Her rates aren't that expensive.

My rates are reasonable. Nige your reality check bounced. 
Title: Re: Changes to the Forum
Post by: Tom on September 11, 2009, 07:39:09 PM
Is the move complete now? I mean, with Cameldung.com as the URL? I went to board.beaupeep "The page cannot be found"; then  www.cameldung.co.uk "Gateway Timeout"; and then www.butnot.co.uk/.cameldung.co.uk "Oops! This link appears to be broken". But finally I got here - I just want to add the correct URL to my start-up, 's'all  :)

Oh - I can see everyone's avatars! Well, everyone's apart from Mince, for some reason.

Title: Re: Changes to the Forum
Post by: Tom on September 11, 2009, 07:45:43 PM
 ;D Erm... please ignore my last post - I've just received my email telling me the new address.  :-[
Title: Re: Changes to the Forum
Post by: Mince on September 11, 2009, 08:44:57 PM
Yes, the www.cameldung.co.uk domain name is at the moment floating unattached through cyberspace.

It didn't get through customs.

Apparently your avatar didn't either.
