Server Move, email/confirmation problems fixed (finally!)

Server Move

Hi, all.

Last night, we moved DegreeInfo (or, at least, the discussion board portion of degreeinfo) to a new server. If you're seeing this message, you're hitting the new server. (Some of you may have gotten "the forum is closed while we're moving" messages while your local ISP updated their nameservers.)

This server upgrade will also, at long last, enable us to resolve the longstanding problem with emailing of registrations. While the problem isn't fixed quite yet, the techs will be working on it today, and with luck, it should be working by the end of the day.

This will also mark the restoration of other email services, such as working emails to support@degreeinfo and such.

I want to thank Bruce in particular for keeping on top of EVERYTHING having to do with degreeinfo moderation and manually activating the new users. I'd also like to thank SteveFoerster, ShotoJuku, Fortunado, and the others who have helped out in passing messages along.

We are (slowly) working on new upgrades and it's my hope that you will begin to see new life and new features coming into DegreeInfo once again in coming months.

Thanks so much for your continued support of the DegreeInfo community... it is, after all, your community and I am deeply appreciative of all who freely post here and share their knowledge and information day in and day out.

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns at chip (at) degreeinfo (dot)(com) (trying to minimize the spambots)

Thanks very much!

I just wanted to update everyone that the long time email and member confirmation issues should be corrected now.

Those of you who have configured your user profiles to receive notification of updates on threads should now be receiving them, and anyone who signs up should receive confirming emails without a problem.

Please let me know if you experience any problems.

 

Thanks for creating the site and thanks for the move -- I'm sure a lot of posters appreciate the effort.

 

Yeah, I encountered a problem registering/activating my account.

I put a thread up in the "off-topics" discussion area. With an explanation as to how I went about fixing the account register problem.
