caffeine

Following Euro 2004 in my part of the world (Asia) has been hazardous to sleeping patterns... games start at 2.45am.. luckily I'm not doing very much at the moment while waiting to go to university, or I'd be sporting huge eyebags everyday. Since I don't have a "team" in Euro, I've adopted Sweden as my team! Go Henrik Larsson! Can't wait for the Olympics.

I think you and I are the only soccer-watching people on this forum. I like to call it football, by the way.

Yes - after clearing caches, still happens, even when I'm viewing it (on a new system that's never been to the old page). When I download it via FTP, the old page gets downloaded too! Terribly puzzling, but I guess i'll get by with the redirect for now.

the thing is, i deleted the page LONG AGO! and when it happened, i deleted it again and uploaded the new one, but it still happens. seems almost supernatural. haha.

Hey guys, I've been hosting with TCH since Nov and I must say I'm a really satisfied customer, so much so I sound almost evangelical when I promote you guys to my friends or acquiantances! Anyway, I have a question - not sure if this is the correct thread to put this. I recently redesigned my website along with new info, and replaced the 'about' page with an entirely new one, deleting the original.. All was working well for a week or two, but somehow in the last 24 hours, whenever visitors accessed the 'about.php' page, the section would pingpong between the old page and the new page. Uploading the new one would solve the problem but after a few hrs it would happen again. i'm currently bypassing the problem by naming the new file as about1.php and then redirecting all requests for about.php to about1.php .. but i find this incident extremely bizarre! have never experienced such occurences! can anyone shed light on what's happening? I'm on server 46, by the way.

yup i did i have it in a /mail folder but no idea what to do about it..

Hello all, First of all let me say I'm a very happy TCH customer - so happy that the hosting account for my organisation ran out, I immediately plumbed for a move to TCH. I performed a Cpanel backup and uploaded the backup file with my new TCH account so all the data was transferred with no difficulty at all. However I need to save a few email accounts and their contents - is it possible in any way at all to do this? Most of the people who own these email accounts are away/not contactable so they can't backup their own messages so if I can do it for everyone on the domain it'd be good. My old host wants to cut off my account soon, so I guess I need to do this as soon as possible. Anybody have any idea? Thanks.

Could you try again and tell me if it works? i had hotlink protection of jpg images on, just disabled it.

I think I remember doing a CPanel transfer in addition to changing DNS info when I moved here

Sure, I'll put it up on the index page the next time I update ;P Anything for you guys, for saving me from my nightmare of a webhost. I'm not sure why the images won't load though, no one else has complained yet. I just changed the layout abt 2 days ago and I don't expect it to work properly for resolutions lower than 1024x768. Hmm. Anyway, I just have to say again that I really really love TCH and I can't think of moving anywhere else, ever!

The Almost Daily Grind A blog/personal site from a blogger in Singapore. I have a link to TCH under "about" ;P

4Images (link) is a pretty damn powerful photo gallery script, powered by PHP and a MySQL backend. I like it for the ability to have categories and multiple subcategories, and is rather customizable as well. Photostack is a much simpler solution (link), and you don't need a mysql database to run it - by modifying a albums.txt file, it will detect the folders which contain your images. Very small and neat script, and its display is entirely powered by CSS, so it's easily modified.

i think one of the best methods for doing this comes from Dan Benjamin: http://www.hiveware.com/enkoder_form.php

i've found disabling rightclicks to be useless because it's a javascript that people can get around if they disable it under their browser settings, and more savvy viewers usually know to view page source to get the URL to the direct image instead. http://www.artistscope.com/ Secure Image is free for personal use - but I'm not sure if it's useful or if it can integrate into coppermine. good luck!

i doubt there's such a function at the moment. you could look into setting up some sort of form to collect their names and other info as well as their desired username/blognames, then set them up manually. i use mt and i don't think there's any other way!

what ftp program are you using? im aware that some have this "move to" function. bulletproof ftp is one - it's not free, but you can download the trial version that should last you enough time to finish moving those files. you simply rightclick and move from "/public_html/originalfoldername/" to "/public_html/destinationfoldername/" works like magic. good luck!

I used to be on Pmachine and it was pretty cool but I didn't like the limitations in the free version. Now i'm with MT and really glad to be using it because of its multitude of lovely plugins as well as the ability to have multiple blogs. speaking of which, I found totalchoice hosting through david's site when i was looking for more MT plugins, and well, I eventually switched hosts! Blogger's easy but it's lacking many features - especially permalinks and title fields. it'd be good for people without webspace - but why anybody should use blogger when they have alternatives, is quite puzzling! (the blogger to MT import function works easily, if you ever think of switching!)

oops i forgot to include the info here. how long will it take to set up my account? i'd like to move as soon as possible!

haha. all this family talk makes me feel warm and fuzzy already! ;P i just signed up, waiting for the account to be activated. I'm the one with "Invoice 10571" so can somebody get in touch with me soon to help me along with the transfer process? thanks alot. my site was down for more than 3 days - the darkest period, ever. looking forward to a great relationship with TCH

thank you everyone! i'll definitely be switching within the next few days. in doing the transfer, what sort of downtime should be expected from the propagation of the DNS?

hi, i signed up with my current webhost last month and in the last 30 days the server has already experienced downtime twice, for more than 10 hours at a time. even though i run a personal website and the downtime really doesn't cost me much, it can be extremely annoying. i am planning to jump ship pretty soon and so far it seems TCH will be my choice. i've done a fair bit of shopping around and i'm convinced so far that you guys will definitely be a good choice. so before i jump ship i'd like to ask a few questions: -how easy will it be to transfer my domain over to TCH? I have access to Cpanel, and I also have access to the domain because I registered it myself. -Movable Type installation. Will it be possible to move my existing movable type installation over to TCH servers? I run it with a mysql database. your help will be gladly appreciated!
