I'm not sure that what's important is that the board is exactly "faster", in some respects, though it is.
But, so far, it doesn't have short, extended, or long pauses, and it doesn't just "hang" as though the net connection between me and it had died. |

It just loads at lightspeed for me no matter what. I'd swear I was on a LAN site instead of the Net. Dunno; maybe I live just a few blocks from the server?

I'm pretty sure the server is located quite far from my location here in Spain, and the change was significant.
What I always do after checking in is look for new posts and open each new thread of interest in a separate tab. Just a few clicks and I have a number of pages loading simultaneously on the browser. This process was taking a significant time on the previous server but now the time is almost irrelevant. |

Significantly faster for me too, in South of France; which means about the same distance from the server as Edouardo

We've got an issue on the new server with registrations - the security CAPTCHA image isn't being generated. If you're trying to register, and can't - drop me an email ( djellison@mac.com ) and I'll do it the manual way. We're working the problem, hopefully we'll figure it out soon.

There always has to be one damn bug, doesn't there?

Ahh - our PHP compile doesn't include the GD libraries required to do things like generate the thumbnails, produce the CAPTCHA graphic etc. Hopefully the server-admins will do that today. I'll then do a complete thumbnail rebuild to bring things up to speed
 Update There may be some downtime in over the next 24 hrs to get this sorted. |

CAPTCHA now working with the GD library - I'll run a rebuild of thumbnails now as well.

I had to enter my username and password again (normaly automatic on my computer); It happens once in a while. Anything to do with the change ?

If you are losing the password cookie, try using www.unmannedspaceflight.com instead of just unmannedspaceflight.com

I've switched to the stronghold cookie - which is more robust than the usual one and would prevent a similar hack to the one that caused a virus to be linked-to from the foum previous.
