Website downtime
The website will be taken off line sometime Saturday evening ( will be late) till early Sunday morning. This is being done so we can instigate a server move. After we bring the site back up again you will have to wait for the new server to propagate your DNS ( If you see the 'site is down' message hit CTRL-F5, if you still see it then you need to wait , this can take anything upto 24-48 hours but usually only about an hour.

Well, if you have comments or questions about the new site migration, ask them here.
Some answers:
- Cy and Myself intend to move the Domain Name "thecorewithin.net" to this IP, but I have only slight clue how this works and Cy is heavily overworked IRL already
- A popular request was to disable SSL for HTTPS. I therefore made that non mandatory. You will lose encryption by not using SSL tho. Maybe I can somehow set it up so you will be forced to use https for login but not anything else.
- I will make my ca certificate downloadable somehow, you can import it into your browser and shut it up about "unknown certification authority"
- Theres apparently a bug in the DKP frame jail thingie. It does not resize on some machines. Well, it does resize here, I had those problems with cy's server too, but fixed them by allowing java script execution. You don't have to use the frame thingie for dkp to work, so just use https://outland.dnsalias.net/tcw/modules/eqdkp_source/directly.
- As you've seen above, bbcode doesn't seem to work. I'll take a look at that later if I have time. Sometimes it works tho. Realy spooky.
- I got speed complaints. If you are not happy with the speed, try using http instead of https. I am not sure what else slows this down. Maybe mod_gzip. The server itself should be fast and close, it's standing right here in switzerland. Just 20 ms ping :D

I do what I think is right. But I don't think that what I think is right can not be wrong.

I tried it... but it seems I can't change the time, even as root I get a permission error. Must be one of the drawbacks of a virtual dedicated server.Knetter wrote:The time on the server seems to be about 12 minutes off. When all the important stuff is working, could you check that please? Otherwise it will only mark a post as read 12 minutes after you read it, which can be quite annoying.
