Is it just me, or are the attachments and photos not showing for everyone?

Von,
It is going to be another few days before the sigs and photos start showing up. Moving the server requires that the Domain Name Server be switched to the new IP address. Once the propagation of the new IP address has occured, you will see the graphic elements again.

It should be working again soon... within a few days I'd say.

Muhammad,
Until the attachment links begin to work with the new DNS listings, would using the IP Address of the old server, along with the path listed for each attachment, opened in a new browser, allow us to view them now? If so, oculd you post that IP address so that I could type the actual path to the attachements for now? If not, are there any workarounds, or do we just have to wait?
Also, I noticed that for posts dated earlier than 12/31/00, I never could view the attachments (file not found on this server error). This was BEFORE the server switch. Do you purge them based on calendar year? If so, may I suggest using a rolling aging period, rather than an absolute date. etter yet, how about keeping them indefintely. Storage is pretty cheap these days. Some of us might even pay for that.

If you want to go through that to view the old attachments, the old server IP is 216.122.89.144. We're still thinking about what we'll do with the attachments as far as keeping or archiving them.

John, patience has kinda gone out the window for me lately...ain't got any time to waste! I know Muhammad is doing his best, so I really do have the patience, but it is FUN to yank his chain over a little mishap, especially when there are so darn few on this board!
It's not an issue in our hands. We're waiting for the DNS servers to propagate so we can switch the forum over from operating on the IP address to on TractorByNet.com again. If we switch it over too early, those with ISPs that haven't propagated yet won't be able to access the forum. I think we have set Monday as the day we'll switch it over and hopefully most ISPs will be reflecting the new IP address by then.

Thanks Muhammad! I knew that it was out of your hands, as I've been there, done that, but like I said, A guy has to use what rare and usefull openings he can get to tease ya! Can't be picky in the harrassment game! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif It IS nice to know a time frame to look forward to resumption of the added goodies on TBN...don't realize how nice they are, until we have to do without for awhile. Thank you for ALL your effort and great work providing the site to us.

I was just getting ready to send you a message about not seeing attachments and signatures. Then I decided to read some of the post in the feedback forum./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif I guess i'm not a very patient person./w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif I'll just have to wait though./w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif
Thanks again for this fine site./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
