newlispfanclub.alh.net

The nLFC is upgrading its software, and moving to a new web host.

The new address will be http://newlispfanclub.alh.net. There will be a redirect from the old address so we shouldn't lose anybody in the change. We expect to be down for a small amount of time while the database is being transferred, and during DNS propagation.

Please bear with us while these changes take place. With any luck, this should be fairly quick and painless. Our email, in case there's trouble: newlispfanclub@alh.net

Looks good ;-)

I had to click on a picture to get here.
Which one is Lutz in that picture?
Who else in the Newlisp community is there?
thanks
tim

What's the new RSS feed link?

Also the newLisp General Discussion forum shows there are new posts, but mocks me with

The board that hates me wrote:You do not have the required permissions to read topics within this forum.

:(

Looking great!

If you wanted a suggestion, it would be to change the top forum name to "Announcements", so that all general questions and chat automatically goes into the "General discussion" forum.

Thanks again for keeping this forum going so well!

Edit: It says I don't have permission to view topics on the "General discussion" forum...

Yes, looks good and especially starting pic. Is it for real?

The rehersal went pretty well, but the actual move was not so easy. Sorry we were down for so long! I'm still dealing with some details, as you can see. Hope the permissions are under control now. Let me know if anything else needs attention. Who are those people in the picture? Maybe we could start a contest in the Anything Else forum, to guess who is who. Is that Majorinc peeking at us in the lower left? Oh, the RSS? I'll get right on it...

Looking good. I can now get into the other forums.
But forum is still not remembering my login/password.
It doesn't look like cookies are being set.
Also, I can't see how to subscribe.......
thanks
tim

I sure don't like to hear that, Tim! I checked your account, and it seems good. There's nothing wrong with the cookies that I can see. Let me think on this (and let me know if I take too long).

The new account registrations are turned off, until this thing is working right.

But forum is still not remembering my login/password.

For me too!

Okay, I've found the cookie problem. Let's see if I've fixed it?

Sorry Ryon.
Still isn't setting bookmarks for me on Firefox 3.0.14 on Kubuntu Linux 8.04.
thanks

Tim and HPW, this site is being served with a temporary URL. The URL will be changing soon to newlispfanclub.alh.net, and any of today's bookmarks will be invalid. Do you have enough functionality to hold out for a few days until we get the domain transferred?

M35, I just took a look at the mods to add an RSS feed to this board, and I don't want to tackle them until after the domain name is transferred. Is that okay?

If anyone would like to read this forum on their handhelds, go to the User Control Panel, Board Preferences, and choose "mTheme".

Hope you like it!

mTheme works but the problem with the mTheme is, it is tied to your username, not the device you are using. So once you set the mTheme its fine on your mobile phone but not good on your browser at home.

For http://www.newlisp.org I do the following in template.html (newlisp-wiki-x.x.x):
Other sites have a m-prefix/subdomain before the main domain-name serving a different style-sheet, e.g:

http://m.twitter.com/
http://m.facebook.com/
http://en.m.wikipedia.com/

Which is probably better then my solution, because it works for any mobile phone not only the iPhone. I wonder if it would be too complicated to run a

http://m.newlispfanclub.alh.net ?

automatically loading the mTheme as default?

Ps: I love the little dragonfly with the flag, is that your creation?

Not a problem. I haven't used bookmarks before, just tried that functionality to see if that meant the
same as subscribe. Obviously it doesn't. Subscription features are really great for forums.
thanks

I'll look into the "m" fourth-level domain or other solution, Lutz.

Wish I could claim the little dragonfly! I "adapted" him from somewhere else.

Okay, I've found the cookie problem. Let's see if I've fixed it?

Works for me now. Thanks.

Why does 'newLISP GUIserver' + 'newLISp for WIN' + 'newLISP for *n?x' show the 'forum locked' icon?
I can enter them, but get no 'new topic' button!

They're archives of posts until October 2009. New posts shall be made other places: newLISP Graphics instead of newLISP Guiserver and newLISP and the O.S. for OS-related things.

Yes. It is now working for me.

Oh I thought this was the new domain. No rush. Whenever things are settled it will be nice to have.

Now about the logging in process... ;)

Can we get a login on the index page, and skip the "You are successfully logged in" page after that?

Hey Ryon, I'm not getting any notifications of thread replies, will this be fixed or am I "doing it wrong"?

You mean email notifications? The domain hasn't been pointed to the new host yet. That will probably start tomorrow. Once it's propagated, I'll get the email working. Or, that's the plan at least!
