• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

New Server status check

Yeah, but now ALL the FaunaAds banner and text ads have stopped working...

Lord, give me strength..................
 
I hijacked Harald's account again to try another upload. My server guy went back to the old OS since he thought it was causing problems with the FaunaAds links. So I want to try another attachment upload...

Aw crap...... It stopped working again........... :hot:
 
Chat system should now be working, firewall misconfiguration there.

I am also able to upload pretty much any image using Seamonkey, FF and IE8 without a problem. Is anyone experiencing any problems still? If so, please post a URL to the image you cannot upload here and we can try playing around with it.

FYI I am not 'hhmoore'.
 
OK, this is WebSlave using Harald's login again to test uploading.

Damn I hope this works......... :angry:

OK folks, things were getting kind of dicey and I had to read the riot act. Basically if all these problems weren't cleared up by midnight EST, I was going to lock down everything and move the databases back to the old server and call it a day. I was about to the point where I was going to be putting bullet holes through my flat screens screaming my fool head off. Then I would have been thrown into the booby hatch and Goodbye to FaunaClassifieds for certain. :nuts: :bang:

So I laid down the ultimatum, and then went and watched a couple of Seinfeld reruns on DVD with the wife to calm down.

Things look much better now, thank God.

So, anyone else having any problems with this site at all now?

I need to know pretty darn soon because my old server is due to be scrapped and once that happens, rolling back to the old server isn't an option any longer. Anything lost and not transferred over or some setting info that is needed from the old server will be just gone for good.
 
Hmmmm Chat seems to be deciding it wants to boot EVERYONE out of the room at one time.

Its happened twice so far. But ill keep watching to see if it keeps happening. It only JUST happened, so i dont know if thats just server stuff because it is new, or what.
 
It might have been one of the server guys. I'm trying to get chat on CornSnakes.com running and that's a different kettle of fish there.
 
First off, I just want to mention that my comp is a piece of crap, and because it is, I never complained about having trouble with it freezing, every single time I clicked on a link, just in the past week or two.
But I noticed when I went to other sites it was not as bad. Now, that you've got a new server, it's not freezing at all, and I'm grateful for that, so please don't go back unless all else fails!
The only problem I'm having, is I'm not getting notified via email when someone posts a response on my ads.
And while I'm on the soapbox, I think you waste a lot of space, leaving ads on the site, without any expiration, and that's gotta cost something. I've spent time going back deleting some of mine to be considerate, until I noticed it wasn't actually deleting entirely.
You might want to consider finding a way to either have the ads expire after so long, or give people instruction on deleting them after a certain amount of time. Not sure if that helps!
Thanks!

Explanation of WHY old ads are left on the site has been given many times. That noted, sellers are encouraged to manage their ads. If you want to delete them - go to your User CP, select Classifieds Panel, and (in the Action column) click Delete.
 
Seems a bit faster Rich, nice work.

Attachment test - no issues here!:thumbsup:
