I'm basically going to throw an additional $200 per month at the site so we're nearing the $700 point for the 2 servers. I refuse to limit features on this site while we're getting whacked with all of this extra traffic (double what we were doing last month). Here's the new IP address: http://74.53.137.200/
UPDATE: The site was too big to do a straight copy of the current website to the new server. I got most of it the first time through, but it appears there were some things that didn't make it such as the /comics/ diretory and some of the toy gallery directories such as /images/toys/files/24 (universe) and /images/toys/files/40 (movie).
I really, really, really need all of your help to comb through the new server to see what's missing. I need to find out what content hasn't been ported over yet that I've overlooked.
http://74.53.137.200/
This is going to happen very quickly (as in this weekend). The more of you that help find things that aren't working properly on the front end, the sooner we'll be able to get everybody moved over to the new server.
Please test everything - old sections, new sections, image galleries, links in news posts, etc. Post all problems that you discover in this thread from missing images to missing sections/pages. I will be fixing bugs throughout the night on the new site.
Please note that any posts you make on the new site will be made here as well. Both sites are working off the same database, which is hosted on a separate server. The only exceptions are uploading images to the forums and for the staff to upload images for the news section.
Thank you all for your help!

1) The News bar on the left hand side of the site is listing older news, not todays news
2)I get a Redirection status Error when I try to post from the other site that asks me to click another link which leads to the same page

I promise you I shouldn't be touching computer stuff!
However, everything I tried here seems to be working perfect.

Both of these errors have been resolved.

I uploaded the latest images from the old server to the new server for the news section.

Please keep looking. There have to be more things that aren't working. I'm good at what I do ... but not that good. Please look harder! There's got to be more things that aren't right.

Those are now fixed ... and by fixing those, the other various miscellaneous galleries on the site should be fixed (i.e. http://74.53.137.200/movie/galleries.php )

That seems to be unrelated. Perhaps you spelled the name of the image incorrectly or something?

Ok well thank you very much for checking in on that. But I would like to state that I am having the same problem logging out as my sister -Soundwave-. I have attmpted it whereever possible and it just reloads my profile page.Seibertron wrote:Sky Fortress wrote:My sig is now showing up as a red X, is there anything you can do to help me please?

It's a flaw in IE browsers older than version 7. The error does not exist in Firefox or Safari browsers. Are you able to use a different browser such as Firefox or Safari? Have you asked if anyone would upgrade your browser?

Will anything we post there show up on this site too, or will it only be on that site?

The database is on an entirely different server so your posts will show up in both places. However, any files that you upload on the old server will not show up on the new server unless I physically move them over.
It appears that seibertron.com is on the new server but if you type in http://www.seibertron.com, it's still on the old server.
