Well if you can see this then your looking at thebackshed.com on its new server at Webcentral.

Now I think everything is working ok, but if you find any problems or notice anything weird, please let me know.

Thanks
Glenn

Gee that was quick. I'll have to get one of those Supaman suits too. Get a few of those long overdue jobs done...

Will keep an eye out for bugs, but seen none so far.
They say the mark of a true professional is that he makes a complex job appear simple even to go unnoticed all together. Your score stays high with me. Well done and thanks for keeping the nuts and bolts glued together.

was working fine... til the smoke got out.

Glenn, uploading the preview samples or other images doesn't seem to work; can this have anything to do with the migration to a new server, or is it a case of user-error? Switching browsers doesn't help. This is the error I get when trying to upload:
----------
Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'

Server.CreateObject Failed

/Windmill/FORUM1/functions/functions_upload.asp, line 288

Its working now.

My mistake. When I first set up the forum on the new server, I had to go into the softwares configuration page and change a few parameters, including which upload component to use. Then on Thursday night I shut down the old server and copied the database onto the new server, which of course overwrote all the configurations I had set up

! I forgot about that.

Thanks for the detailed report Dinges, makes my life a lot easier when someone cut/pastes the error message.

Test Upload....

Talk about solving problems quickly... Thanks Glenn!

Let me grab the opportunity to thank you for the time and effort you put in the board, to keep it running and operating smoothly. It usually goes unnoticed when things work properly...

From a user point of view, the transition to the new server was painless. Not sure if the sysadmin feels the same about it though

Peter.

Glenn, I put this in another part of form but am having
some trouble as explain below.

I am just typing and letting it put in returns so do not
know whats up.
Only enter at a paragraph change.
Typed this earlier trying to explain:
Am only using Post Reply and only tried Word to see if
would make a difference. Have taken normal text from
Word and pasted into Post Reply and still comes out
wrapped? At moment it seems to be unwrapped sometimes.
Word wrap is turned on it seems?
Even when you select text in the preview it highlights
the blank space to the left and also in the form.
And when you select just a quote from a reply it copies
the whole thing in a different blank Post Reply and not
the one you are working on?
You say you use notepad, but then you still have to past
it into Post Reply,where else can you post into this
form?
Or is this only me?

Hi RevItUp

I tried using wordpad and it was OK. Sounds like it could be a little quirk in your Wordpad. Did you try Notepad? Just to see if this makes a difference?

Webcentral is at
http://www.webcentral.com.au

I'm pretty happy with the service, costs about $90 per month to host TheBackShed and the site lives on a IIS server, my preference. If you need something more basic like a Apache server, you could find cheaper. Do a google search for Web Site Hosting.

Thanks Glenn for quick response. Yes I phoned
Webcentral and they are good but expensive and bit more
than we need. But have found another on the Gold coast.
Our website almost 15 years old and hosted by Domain
Direct on the Gold Coast, but liked they have dropped
off the face of the earth.
Re Notepad etc., I am just using the Post Reply form and
wondering why go elsewhere. This was typed in Notepad
and in preview mode comes up wrapped.

Thanks & cheers
Peter

So even if you type directly into the Post Reply box, when you preview or save it wraps the text? That is weird.

What browser are you using, and can you try a different browser to see if you have the same sympton?

Am using google chrome which is a great program and have found very little wrong with it. Even better than Opera, I think. But will try in Opera and IEX and Firefox....

Well looks like Opera works.

Guess what browser I'm using now on this long sentence
which will hopefully wordwrap.

Its a Chrome bug/feature, cant see where to switch it
off.

I have installed Chrome and Firefox to test the web site
formating, but I'm a IE fan myself.
