what on earth is happening to our page?

all the banners and side-bars keep disappearing ...

???

 

Looks normal to me.

 

I'll email Matt to make sure everything is okay at the SWNZ end ...

e: Yea, it looks like they've disappeared off the server. For those of you still seeing the graphics, its probably because your browser is loading the page out of your cache.

e: should be fixed. Thanks Matt!

 

...should be all back to normal for everyone. The issue was related to the registrar and ownership transfer of the domain name, which is now pointing to a different server.

 

and again ....

 

Strange that the FFNZ banner graphics are not housed at theforce.net

// shrug //

 

The required images are all accessible online...just waiting for the moderator to change the references to them. The system exists, presumably, so that the participants of the many respective boards can customise the board 'theme' without having to access Force.Net servers, simply by changing the stored images but leaving them with the same filenames.

The hosting of the images was just something I inherited...more than happy to help, and doing my best to get the situation remedied expeditiously.

 

I think our RSAs are too busy anticipating the World Cup opening ceremony to come online Ah well, we can just be different for a while.

 

Eh, it's faster to load this way. The banner is too big.

 

...I actually took the liberty of compressing the graphics further when I transferred them over. They are considerably smaller....and...should be back on you screen right about now.

Uploading new graphics with old filenames causes all manner of problems with cached versions.

But I can see the merits too.

Thank you... I think the original one was almost 200kb, way too large.

 

Yea, its great No more sitting around reading another message boards while I wait for this page to load ...
