Sorry for the abrupt move gang, but the trial run was going so smooth on the new server, and traffic is lower now than I hope it is in a few more weeks, so.. Made sense.

New URL is http://www.prclan.net

Tried to think of any past URL we've used..
http://www.phantom-rapture.com
http://forum.phantom-rapture.com
http://forums.phantom-rapture.com
http://phantom-rapture.com
http://prclan.net
http://forum.prclan.net

Those should all redirect to the correct URL now.

Bad news - mistakenly transferred an older database (11-10-09) and only realized after an hour or so of tweaking the new setup. We're going to stick with that older data because it was such a smooth transfer otherwise - no point in asking for trouble. I'll see if I can manually import the missing posts though, only a dozen or so were missed.

If you have any difficulties logging in or accessing the site, feel free to email saiboogu@gmail.com

If you have trouble after getting in, go ahead and post under site/forum bugs: http://www.prclan.net/index.php/board,93.0.html

Also, comments welcome regarding theme. It's just "off-the-shelf" right now, could use some tweaks. And I'm open for suggestions regarding a different default theme.

Welcome back guys. Thanks for your patience with me regarding the server.

p.s. Teamspeak hasn't moved yet, will look into that today.

Saiboogu · « **Reply #5 on:** November 17, 2009, 03:37:27 pm »

Mm... So quick. BAM said it was slow for him, though. Maybe just his work connection. How's everyone else's performance?

JAK · « **Reply #6 on:** November 17, 2009, 03:38:04 pm »

Every page loads extremely fast for me.

Sarge · « **Reply #7 on:** November 17, 2009, 04:54:49 pm »

Very fast for me!

Saiboogu · « **Reply #8 on:** November 17, 2009, 06:11:46 pm »

Cool! Hopefully it continues to be quick. More RAM on the server, plus I did a much leaner install this time - should be better.

BAM · « **Reply #9 on:** November 17, 2009, 06:55:30 pm »

Must have just been first time through servers at work or lag on my end. Speedy fast ever since then. You did good.

Saiboogu · « **Reply #16 on:** November 17, 2009, 09:06:36 pm »

I have the old banners, but I think the files I was on were all adapted to the old theme.. Original art would be better.

ËQINÖX · « **Reply #19 on:** November 17, 2009, 09:49:13 pm »

oh also just found the icons we had on the old forums.

twitchy · « **Reply #20 on:** November 17, 2009, 10:25:29 pm »

just testing

Saiboogu · « **Reply #21 on:** November 18, 2009, 01:54:51 pm »

Favicon is up

Saiboogu · « **Reply #22 on:** November 18, 2009, 01:56:30 pm »

Put up one of the banners. I'll see about getting the rotation running again sometime soon

Mojo · « **Reply #23 on:** November 18, 2009, 02:03:04 pm »

FREAKING AE SAIB! YOU SLACKER!

anyways! glad to see this back up! i missed it! why don't we have the old theme?

and quick reply maybe?

Saiboogu · « **Reply #24 on:** November 18, 2009, 02:10:06 pm »

Old theme is incompatible with new forum software. Not many themes are yet, (personal opinion..) this is the best looking one so far. I'll keep an eye on them.

Quick Reply is here.. right?

Oh yeah.. Anyone play around with the posting editor? One of the icons in the top-right when you're posting a reply. Kinda neat.

And BTW.. Crap, Mojo's back! Hide!

But in all seriousness, I love and missed you Mojo!!!
What have you been up to?!

Mojo · « **Reply #25 on:** November 18, 2009, 02:15:56 pm »

i don't see quick reply, i like the quick editor, and the normal editor works.

but i missed you too saib. Don't know about the love, just a little homo!
and School has kept me busy! I'm always sooooo tired!!!! PT 4 times a week and Drill once. 5 o'clock every morning.
I want L4D!

Saiboogu · « **Reply #26 on:** November 18, 2009, 02:47:17 pm »

Why you little..... :D

Is your quick reply minimized?

{PR}Weasel · « **Reply #27 on:** November 18, 2009, 02:48:48 pm »

Sorry Saib, I kind of told him the forums were back.

Mojo · « **Reply #28 on:** November 18, 2009, 04:18:09 pm »

no i already checked for that:

Saiboogu · « **Reply #29 on:** November 18, 2009, 04:26:03 pm »

Are you sure? Check again.

Mojo · « **Reply #30 on:** November 18, 2009, 04:30:36 pm »

yay. finally fix it?

Saiboogu · « **Reply #31 on:** November 18, 2009, 04:38:14 pm »

Your profile options

Look & Layout, towards the bottom.

Mojo · « **Reply #32 on:** November 18, 2009, 04:52:45 pm »

STOP GETTING INTO MY *Crap*!

and i thought about it. but was too lazy to check it out.

Saiboogu · « **Reply #33 on:** November 18, 2009, 08:32:06 pm »

Launched Vent. Nothing going on yet, needs configed. Feel free to join up and see what you guys think of sound quality and the app itself, though.

Just use prclan.net as the host

Mojo · « **Reply #34 on:** November 18, 2009, 10:41:17 pm »

such a good minion! no beatings for you tonight.

Sarge · « **Reply #35 on:** November 18, 2009, 11:35:08 pm »

phantomrapture.com also works.

Saiboogu · « **Reply #37 on:** November 27, 2009, 10:16:07 am »

Funny, since that's a domain I don't actually own (hard to believe, when I look at the list at my registrar..

) Yours? Thanks.

Sandbag · « **Reply #38 on:** November 28, 2009, 10:30:50 pm »

Yep .. I bought it when I first joined because in game a lot of people missed the dash.

Sandbag · « **Reply #39 on:** November 28, 2009, 10:32:51 pm »

Btw the site is fairly easy to nav on my blackberry storm. We have PR mobile folks! Woot!

Saiboogu · « **Reply #40 on:** November 28, 2009, 10:42:01 pm »

Some of the forum.* variations may get flakey over the next few days as DNS migrates to our new hosting company. The core prclan.net and phantom-rapture.com (& phantomrapture.com) should remain solid, though. Just in case anyone hasn't updated their bookmarks yet.

And yeah, does well on my Android, too. Though I usually use the WAP version just for speed.

What is the EXACT size the Picture at the top needs to be or is it one that needs to stretch like the old stuff did?

Saiboogu · « **Reply #43 on:** November 30, 2009, 11:30:43 pm »

The banner way up top could be any size, it'll work out. I'd like to try and drop that one though, if we can come up with a cool graphic to go below it, to the right. In place of the "simple machines forum" banner. It is 256x34 though could probably tolerate extra width. Up to about 350 would probably be safe. Here's the exact image I'd like to replace:

Transparent background so it'll sit on that textured header.

Falcon · « **Reply #44 on:** December 01, 2009, 01:55:50 am »

I'll work on a few designs. No promises that it will be anything good.
