Looks like now that we have a new server...

everyone is askeered to use it!

I think the big problem is a large number of us edited our Host files when the DNS kept getting hacked/errors.

So it gives a H-Sphere page when you try to go to APS unless you delete the ip address you added in the Hosts file.

It took me a bit to figure that one out.

Ah ain't skeered.

Oh crap, that's right.

Yeah, I ran into that last night.

I just e-mailed Oleg asking him if there's any way to e-mail everyone in the members list to send them directions on how to comment out the old DNS entry.

If there is, I can't find it.

[J.J.]

I was looking in vain for that..

Once THR is up I am gonna post something in Technical.. hope someone looks in that section.

[Iain]

Thanks JJ, your post on THR got me here. Had to remember how to undo what I fluked on ubuntu .

Mike, one way to do it is to create a new thread topic, and expand the "Additional Options" thinger at the bottom, and check the box next to "Announce Topic", since you're an admin.  When you submit the thread, it'll ask you for your password (to confirm you're an admin), then give you a list of membergroups to announce the topic to by e-mail.  Select all the ones that apply, and fire away.

Ok I will try that.

[K Frame]

Sounds good, JJ.

[J.J.]

Done,

Short Simple and to the point.

I could have been all flowery.. but I am on vacation and I am bein lazy.

[K Frame]

It worked. I got the message.

[J.J.]

I wasn't sure what all would go thru. 

I didn't want it to truncate the important part.  I put as much info in the subject and as little wording in the body as possible...

[wmenorr67]

Got the email also.

[Antibubba]

I'm so glad we have a new server!

Uh, can you send him over?  My glass is empty.

[Bogie]

Heck, I'm still walking down to the basement when I need to check APS...
