Post subject:  Web Site

If you are reading this, then you probably already know that the web address of the site has been changed to www.wohp.net. This wasn't planned, but unfortunately it was required.

Until things are corrected parts of the site are not going to function properly, such as the galleries. These will be corrected as soon as possible.

The opportunity is being taken to look at upgrading the site's forum software. While the decision has not been made yet, this may mean that there could be some down time or the most recent posts at the time of the switch may be lost. This will be avoided if at all possible, but you should be aware of the possibility.

We were able to recover www.hpnwn.net! This means that the old URL works now, and that the galleries are now functioning again, and if www.hpnwn.net is used, your cookies will function again properly (meaning the annoying "forgetting which posts you have not looked at" issue is fixed, IF you use www.hpnwn.net).

www.wohp.net will still point to the site as well, but there are a few things that you should be aware of. Tomorrow I am going to change this to a redirect instead of actually pointing to the host server. *gasp* What does that mean!??! It just means that if you try to go to www.wohp.net you will be automatically redirected to www.hpnwn.net. Any links you may try to follow such as "http://www.wohp.net/modules.php?name=Forums" will not work. This is an unfortunate side effect to a redirect, but it will ensure the cookies are working properly for all.

Another side effect -may- be that any photos and pictures that directly reference www.wohp.net will stop showing up tomorrow. I am not sure this will happen or not. To fix this just edit your post to reference a relative address (preferred) or www.hpnwn.net. I can't say how widespread this will be, or if it will happen at all.

There also may be a short downtime tomorrow for www.wohp.net as the DNS servers update.

If anyone has any other ideas to help reduce these issues or any objections, now would be the time to voice them. In addition I will be talking with JB to try to reduce or eliminate any of these side-effects before tomorrow. I'll keep everyone up to date on any changes here.
