Open for business!

My fine forum BACK ONLINE!

Roll up roll up, see the fat lady great debate!



POLANIMAL.AU OPEN FOR BUSINESS

Please note, the domain name for my fine forum is


polanimal.au


Not “.com.au”

Our fine forum is now hosted in Canada.

I thought I was doing business with “the #1 Australian web host” but hey, who cares?

Polanimal.au open for business!

Can't get in.  It will not let me enter my password.

Can’t you, darling, or are you just grizzling like the sook you are?

Nevermind diddums, I will give you a temporary password. That means, once you are logged in, change your passwoprd immediately.


bugger, what a smacking sook!

PM sent, sook.

I logged on no problem.

Does your 'Home' button work there?

Oh dear, does it, sook?

You are shown as online.

Home button does not work.

Bit more work for Monk.


“Forums” button does work.

Hit the 'Home' button.

Ticket raised.

Don’t click on HOME, that tries to load a polanimal.com.au file which no longer exists. Hit back arrow to go back to the forum.

FORUMS button works.

Hopefully by Monday HOME will work too.

Need to renew the SSL certificate too.

Added to the ticket.

Be a few lumps and bumps likely.

SSL certificate should be renewed now.

Move is complete, I will find the developer I used and have the “Home” button fixed and a couple other things done.



BUT

what bullshit about the .com bit. Bloody bureaucrats really have nothing better to do?

OK, the “Home” button now works.

The looks of the front page is bloody beyootiful!

Tired eyes? Click on the little quarter moon icon in the tool bar—a soothing white on black window is now in place.

Underneath all this the modern XenForo software runs providing a lot more functionality than the tired old Yabb software here.


Yes, Jaye (thanks for viewing the real PA, my fine forum so often, BTW) the SSL certificate expired and a new one was in place in a few hours.

If your host is Canada, I cannot log on there. What is the security?

Name servers are in Australia I guess?

It's not like international hackers are going to screw up the place, with your host being in Canada? I don't know how Marla gets through to OzPol, given that there is a firewall for international posters.
