On my Nokia phone the Forum navigation buttons have changed after the server move. Three of them have the same outline and I am not even sure they are positioned correctly. Especially the one on the left.

yup, I just notice this on my phone as well...   the icons seem to be incorrectly assigned and thus are misplaced. will work on a fix this weekend.  In the mean time, if you select the option "view as desktop site" in your mobile browser, it should work.



never mind. It was a simple fix of correcting the offsets for the image buttons in the sprite
FIXED!

Cheers Kindred everything looks brilliant now. I am glad you found it 'simple' to sort out in the end as you have probably spent more than enough time on moving servers. As has been said by others, thanks to you and Raine for keeping this place going.

Don’t know if it related to the server move, but I can no longer see photos that I have previously seen in Dreads Plog.

I can see all the photos that are on that page, so it does not look like a forum-specific problem.  Could it be browser or device related perhaps?

I also had an issue seeing some photos in my most recent post on my project blog - but leaving the forum for a little while and coming back seems to have fixed it. I also have an ultrawide and the pictures seem much closer to the original quality now!

If you visited the forum in the short time that we moved to the new server and the https was activated -- the page MIGHT have been cached without https and thus your browser would prevent the pictures form loading.

Do a ctrl-f5 (hard cache reload) and things should correct.

Same here. I couldn't see your most recent photos either, but in that instance a page refresh resolved the issue.

Do a ctrl-f5 (hard cache reload) and things should correct.

Well my issue is on an android tablet, so instead of ctrl f5 I cleared the cache through the app. Everything is fine now, cheers Kindred.

Something funny is going on with the quotes in people's signatures when viewed on a phone as well. Have a look at Killersquids and hopefully you will see what I mean.

not sure what you mean...  other than the site is more responsive to smaller screen sizes than before.

I can reproduce that.  Thanks for the report.  What is causing it and what the fix is requires input from Kindred.

Yeah....    we're getting a bunch of script kiddies banging the server.   Not QUITE a DoS attack, but close to it in some cases.

In addition to that crap, something is hammering on the "recent posts" pages (recent posts is one of the most "expensive" queries in the system, are far as server resources/usages go.)


We did take a step DOWN from a dedicated server (which is what we were on before -- but it was also hugely outdated and ripe for pillaging) but, given the current network traffic on this site, the shared server we moved to (with modern equipment and software0 should handle MOST situations.
