Hi Chris,
So what you need to do is... Go to the forum posts, and edit the links.

You will need to change the information from

www.myswag.org/gallery/.............
to
gallery.myswag.org/gallery/...............

The images are named the same and gallery is fine, the gotcha being is that there is a few name changes we did..
Hope this makes sense.
The actual link/filename etc stays the same the change is purely in the front part of the link.

Hope this makes sense.
Cheers

Everyone,

I've also noticed that alot of people have links in their signatures that are wrong.. :) (Chris i picked it up with you).

It's not going to fix itself overnight and there really isn't too an easy way to fix this all. but..

http://myswag.org/forum (used to work. it no longer does.) the reason is that we used to have special rules on the server to rewrite that URL (this is partly why the server was slow) it's also the reason why it's fast now.

The CORRECT way to link..

http://www.myswag.org/.........    that way the server knows where to look and there is no need for rewrite rules (which means better speed..)

Over time if you see something you can simply fix it up.

Was just an FYI.. I've included in another post about how to fix the gallery links also..

yogi how are you trying to access the gallery?
The URL has changed (i had to)..

it was   www.myswag.org/gallery

it is now...

http://gallery.myswag.org/

If you have links to your profile from the gallery then they have to be reset.
I believe the gallery is working/login/upload properly, but if you've got a problem let me know what it is..
Cheers
Justin


Thanks that's got it sorted ... couldn't find the new URL to use.

Can everyone now see my pic's below of the 80 ?

i think this still has alot to do with cookies and DNS.
Can you please restart machine/device. Plus also flush your cookies (empty browsing data)

We had to change the values of the cookie during the transition.

Others have had similar problems and have done the above and it seems to have addressed the problems.

Done this yesterday and still the same.
Apart from that great work Justin.

Yeah I like that too but don't want to tell the world. Just found crazy domains which appears to be aussie? So I just pay the $20 for two years and off I go? Looking at dizziefuji.com

the move on the server is permanent. If you setup a gallery account there will be no change (ever again).
We've upgrade to the ability to cover us for years. And we made the changes to ensure that even if we did load balancing, multi servers or anything like that we would be 100% covered with the correct domain structure.
The problem was the original way it was done, worked well, but was not expandable. It is now.

Don't be afraid to use the gallery etc. But we have no problems hosting pictures elsewhere, as we do have limited space, but it is available if you want it.

You need to buy the domain and then a web hosting package and email, so about $50 p/a I think. I would also sign up for the whois privacy option which means your details are viewable.

Hey Wayne, My site is hosted at Crazydomains.com, here's my thought about them.
Cheap and that is reflected in some of the comments that have been posted in a few tech forums, they don't have a great reputation.
Now my experiences have been good, sure sometimes I haven't been able to access my cPanel, or email, sometimes my site has been down. having said that, I have contacted them, either through their Facebook page, by phone or email, they have been slow to act, But I have been polite to them and the problem has been resolved as quick as humanly possible I guess.
EG, I would create a fold in cPanel and it wasn't visible with a FTP client and vise versa, My cPanel had been missed in a couple of updates, another was they had huge outages over about a week, again I contacted them through FB and they would fix my site, They gave me a years free hosting. I exceed my bandwidth of 25GB this month in 17 days, a phone call and an upgrade and all is good again.
Just giving you a heads up.
