It's OK. We'll go through withdrawal symptoms together.

[Spiritless]

Stratics? Offline? Who'd have thought it...

 

[FrejaSP]

Just be sure it comes up again

 

[Crysta]

And that you make multiple full backups ahead of time.

 

[Lady Storm]

ok list off how you took it apart and don't forget every move ..write it down.... and don't let flutter cut anything... crazy glue don't fix cables...

 

[Victim of Siege]

We survived, and i even made it through talking to the family (I knew learning to sleep with my eyes open would come in handy)

 

[Taylor]

Thanks. Gonna fix now.

 

[Ron Silverbeard]

The main UO Stratics site seems to be down or partly down. Is this related to the forum move?
It's the smithing bod calculator I was trying to access, never had problems before.

 

[Nirot]

http://uo2.stratics.com is working.
http://uo.stratics.com the URL i am (and probably some others are) used to is not working.

Could you please fix the redirection?

Thank you.

The calculator problems have been spotted and they're being worked on

DID I BREAK STUFF???

 

[SlobberKnocker]

im getting a few server not found messages. does the cache need to be cleared? if so how does one do that.

Yes you did! No more pushing buttons for thee!

There's a guide that covers clearing cache on a lot of browsers [linky], also you can try clearing cookies too (or at least the Stratics ones) and see if that helps.

You can also try flushing your DNS cache if you're still having issues with it. Go into a command prompt and use the command "ipconfig /flushdns" (without the ""s) if you're in Windows, and for linux it's /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart (as root)

If none of the above works, panic. No, just tell us what the issue is and someone who knows more than me will know the answer

I have noticed that all of my old stratics bookmarks now go to stratics.com. Guess I will have to recreate all of them??

Which booksmarks? Post an example. Maybe we can find a better way.

 

[Miri of Sonoma]

All of the ones I tried so far for the UO forums such as the professions forum
This is my old bookmarked page:

http://community.stratics.com/index.php?categories/professions-forums.414/

 

[S_S]

I had Uhall, Sonoma shard forum, Rares forum and Holiday trade forum all bookmarked. All of them now take me to stratics.com. I did re-bookmark all these and they seem to work fine.
I still cannot see myself logged in at all for stratics (though I obviously am to be able to post this).
I see no way to log out.
My buttons on top left for alerts, messages and such are all gone.

I'm using google chrome if that helps at all.

My buttons are all there. Trying switching styles and see if that works. I'm running UOClassic.

 

[Shamus Turlough]

I have fixed any bookmarks starting with community.stratics.com

Will update again as more gets done.

 

[S_S]

Update: I did as Viper09 suggested and tried another "theme". My buttons are back and yes I see myself logged in. But switching back to Default UOClassic again made all my buttuns and log-in/log-out disappear.

 

[Shamus Turlough]

UO2.stratics.com and its' news posts are fully functional. At the moment I am working on uo.stratics.com. Hope to have it up by this evening.

When I know more you will know more.

Thanks for your patience.

 

[G.v.P]

new site looks so different. freaks out. lol but yay, I found uhall again!

What device are you using? I know that when I'm cruising this site using my android phone using the Default UOClassic theme that those buttons appear to be hidden. However, on my computer they show up just fine.

 

[S_S]

plain ol' desktop comp.

I think someone posted on this problem before, it's a question of resolution/screen width. If I reduce the width of the browser window on my monitor the buttons disappear.

 

[Viper09]

No ideas on that front then.

 

[Viper09]

I think someone posted on this problem before, it's a question of resolution/screen width. If I reduce the width of the browser window on my monitor the buttons disappear.

Makes sense given how small the resolution on my phone is. Doesn't bother me though, if I receive an alert or message on my phone I can still review it.

 

[Miri of Sonoma]

thanks! My bookmarks are working again..Yay!!

 

[Flutter]

Still can't get on on my laptop.
I think they are trying to get rid of me.

 

[Shamus Turlough]

Let me know if any bookmarks are still broken please.

 

[Flutter]

Let me know if any bookmarks are still broken please.

On the computer I can access the forums the bookmarks are working fine.

 

[Sargon]

Let me know if any bookmarks are still broken please.

What happened to the uo.stratics.com subdomain? uo2.stratics.com works, but that isn't a very intuitive name.

We'll have to set up a redirect. It'll happen.

 

[Taylor]

Load times for stratics.com/community.

Old server: 26.89 seconds
New server: 2.93 seconds

 

[FrejaSP]

At last I got the forum to load.
On work I'm running IE8, it could show some of the forum, but without any style and I could not do anything, reply, log out or change forum style, I'm using UO Classic style.
At home, I'm using IE9, that would not find the forum at all. Then after deleting cookies, the forum came up, but when I logged in, it got an errow and would not work or load.
I had to delete cookies 2 times more before it stayed up after I logged in but it still have problems, then I click on a post, nothing happing before after several click.
I don't know if it is the UO Classic style, that have a problem. The problem with not being able to open a post or go back to the forum, had been there for months, on oth my work PC and at home.
