For the next hour or so, please refrain from using apostrophies within posts!! Seems the *NEW SERVER* doesn’t like them.. Looking into it.

Maybe a different encoding type on the database?

This would be SO much easier, if HTML had a "Special Character" for ITS MORE IMPORTANT CHARACTER!!!

' for quote
& for ampersands...
Is there one for apostrophies?
Is there f'k!

I find ' Is a fairly suitable alternative.


Ahhh.... oh bollocks.

Feel free to poke, prod and experiment with the site, and let me know of any issues you might find along the way.

I *think* everything's stable now.
Aside from the annoying apostrophe issue, the server move went fairly well. The only other complication was bloody Wordpress, which wanted to be in a specific place, at a specific time, and with a specific domain name... Given I wanted it to work simultaneously on AGameAWeek.com, Jayenkai.com and Jayenkai.socoder.net, (for the sake of keeping old links working) this was a right royal pain in the arse, especially when I was /trying/ to do the move without anyone noticing!
*sigh*

My Jayenkai Archive moved without a hitch, works on all domains, and just carries on happily. I code badly, but I code well!
(In fact, if not for the apostrophe issue, Socoder was also an easy shift..)

I've upgraded the security of "Safe For Work" functions around the site, and hopefully everything's nice and stable, now.

Some of the uploads are still missing, but will appear shortly. They'd've been done by now, but would you bloody well believe it... My Internet went down at about 1am, last night, so my huge upload got buggered up. GAH.. Timing!!

Alien Deathmatch 2 shows a dramatic increase in speed.

No longer is the large delay coming from server communication. It's now taking longer to decode all the info that it gets sent from the server!! Woot!!

Online Features : Plausible!

New Server software, New Server hardware or both?

Hardware. If you can't tell that this is the same software, you're not looking closely enough.

Hmmm.....
New Server, New Quirks..
Just had a minor outage, there, for about 10 minutes or so.
Can't for the life of me figure out what happened, though.
Socoder.net and Socoder.com were both giving me "Is unavailable" messages through chrome, whilst jayenkai.socoder.net, AGameAWeek.com and Jayenkai.com were all working fine.

It used to be that that kind of error meant that one of the SQL servers were currently down, but now all the SQL servers are on the same system, so.. erm...

I logged into the SQL database to check it was still running smoothly, and noticed no speed issue.
That's definitely a new quirk, and I guess I'll be digging through logs and stuff to try and figure out exactly what happened.

*baffled*

Issue has been tracked down to Virgin's DNS being utterly shit. .. AGAIN!!
Quite what's going on over there, is anyone's guess.
