Welcome Back!

[Redmagster]

Most of your update made my brain spin but I made myself read through just to appreciate the effort you put in to keeping such a superb resource here for us addicts to get our fix of stuff to drool over, great interaction with other collecting 'junkies' and the best news!!

Seriously - it is appreciated

You shut it down just to make us appreciate it more didn't you??

Is it just a placebo effect or does the site really loads faster?

and now the site is live on our new server! ... except we still don't have email ...but I'm working on it.

It was no problem, I couldn't think of any other way to contact you guys. Thank you for all the hard work you put in to get the site back up and running ASAP. Kudos to you my friend.

Everyone including myself are really grateful.

btw, my emails are coming through, albeit I only get emails when someone sends me a PM. Some were delayed, others I got immediately, strange.

I got email sorted out last night finally... according to the log all emails are getting sent out properly now.

I did notice that a lot of emails I received hit my spam folder, so would recommend white-listing the form email account.

I'm going to see if there is anything else I can do to "prove" we're not a spam address to the other email servers.

No placebo effect. on the old server pages took between 3 and 4 seconds to render, on the new server its about half a second. Of course it could be longer depending on your connection and how far away from the server you are, but that's the time increase on the server side.

it should work now.

collectorsedition.org doesn't use the "www." (we never have, I always felt www is a wwwaste of time )

however I forgot to setup the www. sub-domain to forward to the non-www version.


Also, if anyone is having problems with the forum emails hitting your spam filter, you can fix it by adding admin@collectorsedition.org to your contact list...
not only will that ensure that you always get the emails, but it will send a signal to your ISP that it's a valid address so others in the future wont get it marked as spam.

Pound signs (GBP) no longer work, and are being changed into question marks once you post, just thought I'd point it out xx
