New Server

[Ben]

I think there will be multiple youtube channels, so we don't loose everything if one gets shuts down for copyright reasons. I might add the header link back, though, and have it point to a forum thread or something where everything is listed.

It's something I've been meaning to look into... though there are a few other things I need to take care of first (like email accounts, etc.) before the old server closes out at the end of the month.

thanks for the update, ben!
i agree, the site is much faster. and i never really used the videos here. i know it's more meant for new people, but uh, i'm sure they've seen a lot before coming here anyways. we'll survive, i'm sure!

I like the suggestion to have a button to link to Alizée's YouTube Vid's.

Man, that was a seamless transition if I ever didn't see one. Great job, Ben! Looks like you didn't lose any of us, or our long-winded histories, or any other bits of the glorious minutiae that had accumulated here. Thank goodness!

(And the forum calendar is still stuck on last December, like it was before, by the way )

But Again, Congratulations! I woulda been sweating buckets, but I bet you even kept your wig on during the whole process.

Oh, here's an idea. Maybe even a good idea. (maybe not) Would it be a good idea to keep the Videos button at the top of the page and have it link to the YouTube channel ?

Like Ben said, there are about 3 host Youtube channels we are using for the uploads and I'll add a fourthfor the long interviews.

So I don't know if he'll make the Youtube Video-embedded Video Section, or if we'll just cram em in a thread...and I like the first idea so our comps won't die haha.

A couple people said the site is faster… Maybe this is just on my end, but it seems slower if anything.

[Ben]

Technically the new server is a little slower. But I cleared out a lot of junk in the move, so that could make things smoother. To be honest, I don't think there should be a big difference either way, and I don't see one myself. We're just more efficient and cost-effective behind the scenes now.

Thanks Ben. Not just for letting us know, but also for keeping it all together.

Oh man the video section was so great I fell in love with Alizee there. Please can anyone show me some YouTube AAm (or as far as I know it's been inactive for months now) ??

I didn't see any difference in the speed. But anyway thanks ben. Mastering a site is not an easy job ^^

Oh and btw I love the embed Les Collines on the homepage :P

Anyway, I could get my old gallery back. This time I'll put it on my external HD.
