1. We have moved ... Aug-24-25 00:25 AM
Well, I am changed my web hosting. In excess of $700 for 3 years is just too much. So, giving Blue Host a try.

There was a bit of a disruption, as I didn't download everything first, then initiate the change. But, once (nearly) everything got moved, things are working a bit better on the new host (subscriptions work again).

p.s.

There were a number of user profiles that did not make the migration, due to the user name having a "bad" character ... a space. So, if you come here and find you can't login, that may be why. Below is a list of such user names/profiles. If this impacts you, I would suggest creating a new account (guess I should test that still works) without such "special" characters The underscore seems to be fine, so Lady Adrexia may need to become Lady_Adrexia, as an example (actually, both those profiles existed, the second one made it over).

2. So, why don't I get those subscription emails anymore May-04-25 09:35 AM
Well, a couple reasons. First I'll blame the tool: this board software is really old. Second, I'll blame the "tool": I am lazy, didn't notice they quit working and (given the traffic and frequency of posts), have lost a fair amount of interest in keeping a close eye on things.

That said, I will look into it. I suspect my web host changed something in the underlying config of what and/or where the email server thingy is and/or lives. If I can find that, subscriptions might start "working" again. Working, as in, when I see happen to check the board and see there is a new post, I will hit the Send Subscriptions button and they should send.

4. DSL & Cable vs. Norton Firewall Jul-05-03 12:56 PM
Recently a few users have experienced problems posting to the board, after incorporating Norton Firewall into their environment. Here is a message from one user, who was really helpful, on how to resolve the issue.


Open the Firewall program. Mine has a menu on the left, open Personal Firewall. Next open Internet Zone Control. Click the Add button and make sure the "Individually" radio button is clicked. Next put in the URL www.softwarespecialties.com in the space and click OK. That should do it. I don't see it added to mine so if that doesn't work, let me know, but it looks like the place where I put it. I have two tabs, one says Trusted and one says Restricted. Maybe the sites are there but in a log somewhere, I'm not sure.

Let me know if that doesn't work and I'll dig a bit deeper. I don't really care for Norton but it came free with the motherboard so I put it on.

Glad to be of help!

Figured I would post this, as more and more folks (myself excluded) are getting DSL and Cable, which goes kind of hand in hand with a firewall.
