As you probably noticed, the site experienced some downtime. This is all my fault since I planned my holiday to coincide with an unexpected and unannounced server move by my web host.
But I am back now and all should go back to normal. There are still a few glitches to work out, so your feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks for your patience
I have no idea. I would like to know as well. I hope notâŚ
Apart from many intermittent HTTP 404 errors, I got the attached page today, before being redirected to a server called something like âbradbury.texo.co.zaâ
Did your holiday really cost that much? It mustâve been a humdinger!
When it came back I was happy. And thought an annoying little thing was fixed along with it. I learned it hasnât.
When I write longer passages in the type box, the bottom words disappear off the screen and I cannot read what I type. I have to scroll down and when I type anything it jumps to the normal size again. Then does an annoying flickering thing every letter I type.
Is anyone else having this issue and is it meant to keep responses brief?
I am using IE 8 (donât flame too hard, I just gave up on the battle and left my trusty FF behind when I went Windows 7)
Um, not quite
It looks like there is a problem arising from the recent server move. My host disabled the account temporarily because of high CPU load caused by the site. This was all out of my control and unannounced. >:(
Anyway⌠We are now looking into this matter and tonight (19 Oct 2009 aorund 8pm) the site will be moved to another server - where better monitoring can take place and the source of the problems hopefully revealed.
The IP of the site will change again, so it might take a while for the DNS servers to update across the internet and you might not reach the site during this time - although it shouldnât take long.
Does this only happen in IE8? The text box is supposed to stay a fixed size, but a scrollbar appears when you type more than the size of the text box. In FF the text box automatically focus on the cursor as you typeâŚ
As soon as the scroll goes over a few lines, the focus jumps to the top. Every character you type it kinda flickers down, focus on the character and then jumps back to the top.
I was just wondering if it is some kind of setting on my side.
Google âie8 textbox cursorâ - it seems to be an IE8 bug.
Iâm forcing IE8 to render in IE7 compatibility mode as a workaround. Could you check if this helps?
I donât see who this site is hosted by, but from their constant downtime Iâd say theyâre about as useful as tits on a bull. Please let us know who they are so we can avoid them for our own sites.
Texo, they are linked on the main page.
To their defense, the downtime wasnât all their fault. I manage the DNS myself and the server move should have been a lot smootherâŚ
If you donât rattle the cage too much they are a good value for money host
@Luthon
The DNS problems should be solved by now - its working fine here. Anyone else having problems?
