Post by: winbindd on December 07, 2004, 07:19:16 pm: Yes, it was down from 4:30-9:00PM EST. Everything is back up and functioning, and those on broadband should notice a little bit of a speed increase.
Thanks for everyones patience,

Yes, I've noticed that. I felt like I was on super fast internet rather than my own.

Title: Server Upgrades
Post by: partiallynothing on December 08, 2004, 06:24:41 pm: DMA support was added. Also, the server is now running Linux kernel 2.6.8, which is a large improvement to the old one (2.4.18). Sorry about the odd hours we did that upgrade, but sometimes things need to be done when we are awake. :p

Btw...is this the only skin we will be using?
Title: Server Upgrades
Post by: IZ on December 09, 2004, 11:50:32 am: The CSS for 2.0 is different than 1.3, so we need to convert the skisn to look right in 2.0 before we can upload them.
Title: Server Upgrades
Post by: RandomDude18 on December 09, 2004, 03:02:17 pm: I'll be conversting the skins from 1.3 to 2.0.

Post by: ssj4gogita4 on December 09, 2004, 03:50:10 pm: Ok...not that everythings working now...although some of it still doesnt look right...It's ok. I more or less dont like the way where is all centered and doesnt take up half the window. All in all, it's an ok thinger

This was a very *extreme* upgrade, from version 1.3 to 2.0.3. Some of the old smiles are not going to apear, as they are no longer available, but there are new ones. Please try and move *forward* with the new board. How well does it function for the future. Seriously, why would you re-read posts from a month ago. Although it may be a rough change, a few weeks from now everything should be back to normal. Please don't complain. Constructive criticism is welcome.
