server downtime
« on: March 04, 2004, 06:13:20 PM »
For those who check the forums more often than the main page, this is a reminder that TWG will be down for a short while (hopefully an hour or less) tomorrow, March 5.

So does that mean the poll will be returning...?

Any time estimate, as to save me from wondering and lack of TWG shudders?

Morningish. Probably. If I'm not busy. The poll may indeed be returning, if Fell even wants to do it anymore.

Oh man, that does say "Morningish" doesn't it? I thought it said Mormonish or something like that.

Well, he could have been referring to Mormon Standard Time. But he wasn't.

If we get poll functionality back, we'll definitely be getting the poll back.

As an interesting side note, I tried to get on via FTP today so that I could change the 'in the corner' item, and instead of the TWG, I found a bunch of my short stories.  (The ones I had previously had Tage upload to his server for safe keeping.)  None of my novels were there, only the short stories.  

Anyway, that was amusing.  However, it does make it a little bit difficult for me to alter the forum....

the ISP address changed EUOL so you'll need to get all the new info.  You're still logging into the old server.

you can still log in useing the filemanager in the admin section.  Same user/password as your forum login.  You can then upload through that.

Anyway if you didn't see my other post, call me if you want to go out and eat.
