This site is going to move to a new, more powerful server. The moving will be started on Aug. 16 (Monday). You should always visit this site using the domain name:
http://www.bdsmlibrary.com/

It will take some time to propagate the domain name on the internet. But it will not take more than 48 hours (normally less than 24 hours). During that transition period, you may be still visiting the old site until your ISP updating its domain name server. I will make it very obvious to let you know if you are visiting the new site or the old one.

Stay tune and sorry for any inconvenience.

The server moving is starting a bit earlier than expected. But you should not get any downtime of the server. Both the new server and old one have the new story update. But you may not want to write story reviews, upload photos, post articles in the forums and dungeon on the old server. Those new update may be lost during the transfer.

You may want to check the server moving status at:
http://www.bdsmlibrary.com/stories/
http://www.bdsmlibrary.com/

This moving will affect bdsmlibrary.com site only!

The site is moved to the new server. You should not experience any difference in term of site content and layout except it may be a little bit faster :) Please report any error to me as soon as possible (webmaster@bdsmlibrary.com). Thank you!

Missing topic.

I posted a topic ("A BDSM Wedding") accessing the site through this URL:

http://www.bdsmlibrary.com/forums/index.php?

in the Sexual Fantasy Forum about 30 minutes ago... Now it's... gone.

:confused:

(I put in the http://www.bdsmlibrary.com/forums/ one but it just routed to http://www.bdsmlibrary.com/forums/index.php? - and the topic did show up with both URL's - at least until now...)


And... the dungeon is erroring out.



Error: Moodle could not connect to the database.

It's possible the database itself is just not working at the moment.

The admin should also check that the database details have been correctly specified in config.php

Database host: localhost
Database name: moodle
Database user: jinn

Edit to add: I went ahead and just re-posted the missing topic.

Fixed the dungeon problem. The easiest way to do is just repost the topic. Make sure you are visiting the new server before posting anything. Make sure the announcement "Server upgrade finished. Enjoy!" is on the story news page:

This could explain the e-mails saying "thread updated" but there's no update!
