Server move complete

[Ramsus]

A while back it was determined that we should switch hosting providers (we're now happily hosted by WebFaction), so I decided to throw in a few changes while I was at it. Some of you may have noticed the site down for half a day today, but other than that, everything should be back up and running.

Please mention any problems or concerns by commenting on this news item.

Well--and this was probably intended--the "That Creative Project" bit up in the box of links has no link attached to the phrase.

But otherwise I haven't seen any errors or bugs. It looks like it's set.

I forgot what Zeality decided to name it, and there's no page for it yet, so that's just a reminder.

Oh, okay.

Also, it seems the altered time settings have been reset...not a biggie, though, but just giving everyone a heads-up so they can realter them for themselves.

Dream Splash huh? I wonder what that is...

It looks excellent but I don't know if its me or everyone.  The site loads up fast but it scrolls unbelievably slow O_o...Maybe it's just my computer...<_<  Other then that issue it's awesome.

It's not just you. I'm having that same problem too. Though I don't knwo if it's because I'm using IE or not. And yeah, the new site design is impressive, but because of this little problem it made me think less of what it really is.

Ramsus says it's an IE problem, and he's working on it.

[nightmare975]

The solution to your problem guys?

Firefox

EDIT: OMFG! I'm a Nu! Woohoo!

Problem fixed. Apparently IE's rendering engine chokes on tiling small images, so I just redid the pattern images to be bigger. Didn't make much of a difference in filesize (they were so small, it was mostly header data to begin with), but IE should scroll nice and fast now.

EDIT: If you visited earlier, you might want to clear your cache to make sure it takes effect.

I typically use IE, and it's working fine for me.  Nice work on the redesign!

[justin3009]

It's still scrolling slowly but not NEARLY as bad as before.  hell no i'm not using Firefox.  That thing crashes on me constantly ;/

Edit: Woops give me a second to clear cache.

Edit 2: Still scrolling slowly O_o....Oh well.  I can deal with this one.  Other one was unbearble.

Much better! Wow that was a really quick fix, I guess it was just a minor problem with the background images or something. Kudos on the new design, I have to say I was really impressed with it. Great job!

I'm not sure if there's more content on the sidebar below what we're seeing, but the page seems to terminate with the main body's content length while cutting off some of the sidebar:

Looks like the forum attachments are missing. I've got a backup!

Ah, features! They're like visual candy now. Everything syncs up in cold, lightly purple, gray, blue shades of placidity and temperance. And darkly shading the title / image / header boxes gives everything placement and order. This is my favorite color scheme ever!
