New Home... little glitches

[Linus]

Hey everyone!

Well, after tinkering, abusing and much cussing, we're finally here. The critical stuff -- pictures, games and posts -- made it. Some reps were missing.

For now, everything is linked by the IP address. If you find links that don't work (chat won't immediately) let us know here.

We'll be tracking those down over the next few days.

Again, thanks for all your patience in this matter.

[PapaC]

so far..

Congrats on a successful migration.

[Linus]

Well, gotta find the logo (not sure where that went to) and still have one little icon that's missing from posts (we see the word "default" instead).

[PapaC]

awww, I'm missing some GREAT reps too!

boo...hisssssssss... how can you two possibly live with yourselves now.
my best work. gone. ;)

[Linus]

Byte.


Me.

Linus is bald and I am twitching.

That is all.

[Tommi]

Linus is bald and I am twitching.

That is all.

And..I made it in here....So, life is good..and , as far as reputation missing..means we just have nowhere to go but UP..

Thanks to ALL for the sticktoitiveness :duct:

:pile::clap::clap::clap:

[Cyclopea]

Good Job!
Thanks for all your hard work.
FUCK GO DADDY!
:clap:

[Corkey]

Yea is all I can say. Thank you Linus, Medusa and Jack, well done!

[Arwen]

Rep? We'll make more. :)

I am in a Shakespearean mood. I keep seeing Medea and Lear instead of Medusa and Linus.

Weird. Must be this new server. Too speedy. Too fast. Makes me nervous.

[Goofy]

Thanks for all y'all's hard work!

[Gemme]

Thanks for working so hard for us all, Medusa and Linus.

Now, off to restore my rep level. I was quite proud of it! :)

Somebody.....rep me!

:rollcat:

[BullDog]

Thank you Linus and Medusa for all your hard work.

It isn't the first time to lose some rep- ha!

[Cyclopea]

YAYYYYY !!!
:happyjump::goodscore::party:
:admin::jack: :linus:
This shit's soooo fast it's scary!

[Linus]

LOL.. I figure the speed will make up for the missing reps. :cheesy:

I shall be killing things in Warcraft if anyone needs me..

In alphabetical order:


Thank You, Jack.
Thank You, Linus.
Thank You, Medusa.

:D

[Waldo]

Nice job folks. It's so fast that I no longer have time to go off and read the huffpost between page loads. Weeha.

[Diva]

Remember....I'm computer illiterate....

So I typed in that number on the browser thing....but now....how do I get it to say "ButchFemmePlanet" instead of the numbers?

Thank You.....

[Diva]

Linus and Medusa should take a bow.

I was in charge of taking out the dog, fetching beverages and snacks and keeping the fireplace stoked.


That is a very important position.....not everyone can fetch a beverage.



Just sayin'......

[Admin]

Thank You.....



Well, YOU cant make it say that :) (bossy!)

That is the name server that we have to actually tell GoDaddy to repoint. We've done that :)

Im actually able to go to www.butchfemmeplanet.com at this time and it is pointed correctly for me! Try it!

Sometimes, the smaller service providers take a little longer to populate so it really depends on who you have.

Try it and lemme know if it works :)

[Diva]

YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You!!!! It DID work!!!

I appreciate it! Thank You so much!

[Linus]

Good to know.. I've edited the quick links to adjust for that.

[Logicaly]

Ya'll did a great job, and it really is much faster. Thank you for the time and effort you all put in to this!

[amiyesiam]

YOU all rock!!!!!!!!!!

[Dude]

Thank you for giving a shit.
Seriously impressed by your hearts and the energy your ALL putting in here.

(she couldn't of done it without me):cheesy:

What I want to know is...did you make the snacks? and what were they? tapas? :happyjump:

[Cyclopea]

The snacks came in the form of a box, bag or wrapper.

Beverages were canned, except the tea. Hot water with the baggie thing.

When I tell my wife that I am cooking tonight, it means I'm taking her out to dinner. :chef:

The :firetruck::fireman: has requested she not cook for her wife *snicker*

[Diva]

I loved what Dude said......


Thank Y'all for giving a shit......that pretty much sums it up.....here.....have some toast. :freetoaster:

[little man]

this pretty much kicks ass!

kinda like when i went from dialup to dsl. wheeeeeeeeee!!!!!

[Arwen]

I have a complaint. The darn site is so fast it make that much slower! LOLOLOL

Y'all are on my Christmas list for sure. :)

Oh wait... I never send out cards because I'm a bum! Well, in my heart, you will get really big fancy ones. No really!

Where are the youtube videos? :watereyes:

Fixed. :cheesy:

[T4Texas]

Thanks to all of you for all your hard work in getting this place going. Im sure you have suffered with all the glitches, changes, etc, but just to let you know it is appreciated!

[WolfyOne]

YAY!!!
I've learned this from my southern friends
All ya'll are here

I kept checking up until the time I went to bed
I see, I'm late as usual, but at least here
The unveiling looks marvelous
The speed unmatched by the past
I am, forever home

[Isadora]

My HARD drive and patience thanks you for such FAST service.

Got to love it!

[Linus]

There is an issue with uploading photos. I'm working on fixing that now. Hopefully won't take too long.

THIS IS Warp speeed.. I am wowed. Just amazing that this was able to happen, and no one stroked out over it.

LOVE THE WAY THIS PLACE WORKS TOGETHER, FOR ONE ANOTHER.:hockey:.Just sayin' ya know.

It's 1:30 in the afternoon here and I JUST woke up. :D

I see that Linus has been much less of a lazy sloth than I and is busy toiling away on the photo thing.....Guess I will start getting my list of stuff done and revel in the glow of everything actually working :D

[BullDog]

I'm so happy Medusa that you got some sleep. Now someone needs to tuck Linus in.

Thank you, thank you again to our tremendous team. The only problem for now is it's so fast I don't have time to spell check my articles before sending them out in between page loads.

[Dean Thoreau]

Looks very nice folks and folkettes who did all this work....
appears something happened when it migrated..now there is a shot gun as a smiley ......... :overreaction: (joking, I will just hang a post it on that part of my screen :aslIloveyou:

Well anyway nice job...now why dont u all go have some fun....and go shopping, or get some sleep, or have sex..or play with the dogs......surely u deserve at least 10 minutes of pleasure ...seriously tho,,, spoil yourselves a little ok.

I want you to know something. When you said there was going to be a relocation to another server. I did not shudder. i did not feel like we would be held hostage for feelings and things unknown. I went about life trusting in the planet revolving evern better, and the air is still clean and fresh. Thanks

I rested, and trusted in the fact that this would be done and , as it was, we are all back together without any blood letting. Is Jack okay>:ymca:

I am really looking forward to some big hugs and smiles when this group gets together. :groupphoto: You 2 deserve a trophy year, and Linus ..some biiiig ceeegars.

[Dragonfly]

Just wanted to say that I checked out the chat last night and WOW! I have an old junky comp I just started using again as a secondary to the "good" comp (it even has the Y2K upgrade). And I cant believe it was going so smooth and prob free. I have a lot of probs usually when the comp gets overloaded or something. idk why but the chat room works better for me than any other place has. THANK YOU everyone for working so hard!

Waiting patiently to upload a pic of myself,
Big Fan of Improvements

[Galahad]

Thank you for all the hard work you do. It is wonderful here.

[Mister Bent]

You mean last month, Wil?

heh.

Great work Team BFP!

[Arwen]

Have discovered that I can rep and then thank but if I try to thank and then rep I'm told I can't rep the same post twice. Odd. This was on the other server as well...I just never tested it.

Sent Linus a note about the galleries as well.

[Linus]

There is an issue with uploading photos. I'm working on fixing that now. Hopefully won't take too long.


We are aware of the issue with the uploading. It's going to take me longer than anticipated because of something unforeseen.

Note: this does not affect existing photos in the galleries.

Please watch this space for status updates over the next couple of days.


Reps and Thanks Yous are the same (the Thank You button is a rep that auto-includes a thank you message).

Totally missed that about the galleries. Sorry!

I understand that the Rep and Thank You are the same. What I am saying is that I can Thank you but not rep you, but I can rep you and then thank you. Does that make sense?

Interesting. Sounds like a bug in the reputation system (that'd be a ticket with vBulletin and the creator of the mod).

Jack discovered this very thing the other day. Its probably something with one being loaded before the other. (I bet Linus knows)

Either way, Arwen is greedy! :raspberry:

[blush]

Gawd, this looks great! Your hard work shows!

I don't know why y'all switched from GoDaddy, but they seemed really sexist. So I'm glad.:o

[friskyfemme]

Thanks so much for your hard work and dedication. I was a a mainframe programmer for 24yrs. I don't even want to think of the days of no sleep working the kinks out of hardware and software upgrades. Bravo!

[Mindy]

Looks like the switcheroo went well. I was gone all weekend, but it was definitely nice to come back home today and the pages load so nice and fast!

I was especially happy to see Queerbay up and running. I've been twitching over not being able to post my stuff! So now I can, and I have.

[WolfyOne]

This new server moves with lightning speed. I can't believe how quickly I move from thread to thread. Even the games load quickly and we all know how important that is. Now we can all rock steady in here....home sweet home.

[FeminineAllure]

Thank you for all of your time and hard work.:cheer:

I am not receiving any e mails from the threads I am subscribed to. What can I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Hrmm.. try unsubscribing and re-subscribing. Now it will only send emails if you're not on the site at the time. And make sure you have it set to instant email notification.

[Gemme]

I discovered a long time ago that I could Rep and then thank as well. It never worked the other way around i.e. Thank then Rep. I kind of like it as a feature, because I can privately and publicly acknowledge the persons post.

I vote don't change it!

Ditto. I really liked being able to do that. :)

Passionara, since Linus is a bit busy right now, I took the liberty to look into your problem and went in a fixed the youtube tags. I looked and you had the wrong tags wrapped around the youtube icon.

Hehe.. no. UofMFan fixed your video. And here's how you do it.

This is the link to the video you posted:

htt.p://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeksPy5Veg4

All you do is take the stuff at the end of the video link after the = sign and put it between the YouTube tags (see below):

[YOUTUBE]FeksPy5Veg4[/ YOUTUBE]

We used to have a mod that would translate your YouTube links into embedded info but it broked at some point and the developer doesn't seem interested in fixing it.

I just clicked on a new member's name and got this message. Are we no longer able to look at new users or was I bad and am getting slapped without knowing why? :(
WolfyOne, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation

That would likely be because they haven't finished their registration (email verification pending is the most common reason)

Or because they were a Spammer and June deleted them before they had the chance to spam.

Damn Spammers.

That will let you see the subscription options and what you get for each. Then you go to your User CP and then scroll down to Paid Subscriptions. Select which one you want and then press Order. You'll then be taken to PayPal (log in to pay and choose your method of payment). Once that goes through, it's immediately applied. Generally, this process should take about 2-5 min.

UAC? Which browser are you using? (Internet Explorer? Firefox? Safari?)

There is no ActiveX for chat as it's a Java chat so I'm a little concerned about what you're getting.

So hoping this is where I need to come and whine to you about the weirdness of my experiences on here since this afternoon... If not, I apologize.

When I try to "thank" folks I get a message that reads:
I was also having problems with editing my posts. It wasn't giving me the regular editing setup but rather another message box. I didn't try to edit in it though because I wasn't sure that it wouldn't give a double post of the same entry.

a suggestion from a fellow Canadian. If you click on butchfemmeplanet.com, directly under the big black sign, the other face page comes up. I couldn't figure out how to find it for weeks, and found it by chance. Then you will see the chat room, info on the Reunion, and all the planeteers that are online.

Hey folks,

The site seems to be getting slower to load, switch between pages, waiting for posts to load. I don't think it is my connection cuz other sites work fine.

Plus today, I got the database error page while trying to access pm's. Had to close down the site and reopen to get it to work.

Have cleared all the cache and stuff.

I have been having similar issues for the last couple of days. Another thing that I have noticed is that the site is logging me off fairly frequently, perhaps every hour or so. The logging off part is not a problem, I am guilty of wandering off for long periods of time, it is just different than it used to be.

I've cleared the server's cache so let me know if that helps. If not I may have to do a reboot to clear out left over connections from our multitude of spammers and/or attackers.

The reality is that the slowdown is a side effect of a lot of things. I mentioned a few above but we also have the reality of being a large, active site that gets attention of others, malicious and other wise.

[Tommi]

site is not super fast like it used to be. small funky stuff.

e.g., like the full smiley page goes crazy as it loads to wait for "find".
Could it that Too Many, smiley's, jpg's, mega pictures and graphics, and You Tubes, and photo's are causing this errant behavior?

Oh certainly that adds to it as well. But without those what would the site be like? It's easy enough to adjust by turning pictures off for the site. You can use something like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spacenext.textonly&hl=en to reduce your browsing to text only and that should do a marked speed improvement.

You can use something like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spacenext.textonly&hl=en to reduce your browsing to text only and that should do a marked speed improvement.

Thanks for always being there. and you are so right. :hangloose::flyingmonkey:

Linus, I am still finding it very slow loading i.e. my dial up loaded faster than this. LOL.

Havent gotten any database errors yet.

I finally did a restart of our web and database bits and that seems to have (I hope!) cleared up the slowness.

Hullo... not sure what kind of glitch this is or even where to put it... I've read the threads and can't tell... I changed my icon. and it shows in my profile, but not when I post. the old one stays. Any suggestions?
