Willkommen, jolan tru, welcome!
Welcome to the new EAS server.
Tony, the server administrator, and I
have been working hard for a whole month to make the transition seamless
and to get everything to work exactly as it did on the old server.
However, there may still be some issues.
It is possible that some files are in the
right place but don't load correctly. I noticed after my first attempts
to upload the site to the new server that particularly a number of
images were corrupt. I re-uploaded major parts of the site and didn't
find any more such problems, but naturally I can't check all 15,000
images on EAS visually. So if you should notice that images are broken,
please tell me.
The second possible issue is with
scripts. We spent many hours debugging the various CGI and PHP scripts
(there were dozens of issues with file permissions, file formats,
namespaces, etc.) and in a few cases we had to apply workarounds, rather
than removing the reason for the problem. Some things still seem to be a
bit fragile to me, so if you notice that scripts don't work correctly
(for instance, if you fill out a form that is not completely processed
or not at all), please tell me by all means.
All right, that's enough blurb for now. I
hope that perhaps next week I will find the time to do something
productive again.
