Major Defence-force structural update

In this forum you can write about anything that does not fit in other forums.
This includes generic Oric talkings and things that are totaly unrelated but want to share with people here :)

Ok, so I did the final DNS changes, normally now NOTHING should be loaded from Yahoo! anymore, which means I need now to track what got broken or not setup.

An obvious thing is that it's not pointing to the new (unfinished) www.defence-force.org, I'll have to reset the old site so the old links still work, I will do that during the week end.

Now what matters is that the forum, svn, etc,... still work. Please tell me if you find anything not working.

Thanks!

forum.defence-force.org still gives an error to me.

www.defence-force.org points to the usual (old?) web (though there are some broken links I think) and the wiki in http://wiki.defence-force.org/doku.php works too.

Everything in miniserve.defence-force.org seems to work fine (the main site, the repository, the IRC stats...)

WAIT! Just as I was writing this I re-tried and the forum.defence-force.org is back and the web is the new site!!! So everything works!!!

Thanks indeed Dbug!

Well done on navigating the stormy waters of Internet-site maintenance.

Is there supposed to be a difference between defence-force.org and defence-force.com? At the moment I'm seeing links to the .com, but everywhere else is .org and there seems to be some IMG references pointing into la-la-land, meaning broken images - for example on the News tab.

Maybe you're aware of this stuff (undoubtedly, actually), but just wanted to report in from the field.

Looking forward to the new look and feel of defence-force - these sorts of evolutions always make things feel fresh and new again, even if its a bit bumpy here and there .. all this life you're injecting gives us horizon-skippers hope for the future ..

Not sure how to get to the old pages like the Oric library (?) had to use Google to find the books. [EDIT: Found the Old Site link - silly me!]

Incentally, just got information from André about a couple of books I got and they are available online so maybe see if you could include the files (scanned by René P.) or a link in the library? They are the two Atmos-Oric-1 Manual de Reference. http://andre.cheramy.net/telechargement ... gement.htm

Yeah, I'm planning to have a revamp of the Library, but never found the time to do it.
I guess I could try to get a library.defence-force.org link to point directly to the library in the mean time?
