Host transfer

[Kurt]

Erik -

When I log on to Aurora, it is my habit to hit the "View Posts Since Last Visit" button, and then view each of the resulting subjects to see posts that I haven't read yet.  I will select one of the subjects, read the messages that I haven't seen, then hit the "Back" button on my browser to get back to the listing of posts that I haven't read yet, where I will select the next subject with new posts, and so on.  

This has worked well in the past, but since the host change, I've been getting the following message when I hit the back button:

"You cannot make another search so soon after your last; please try again in a short while."

Sometimes the search results will appear if I hit the back button again after getting the above results, and sometimes I just get the same message.  If I go back to the main screen and hit the "View Posts" selection again, sometimes I get the above message and sometimes I don't.  

This isn't a big deal, but it is a little annoying.

I think this is Working As Intended (tm). There is a 15 second search flood restriction, i.e. 1 search every 15 seconds. I can lower that some if it's a big bother.

Ah, a feature, not a bug.  No big deal then.

I am thinking Yahoo Hosting is not the best. Various things that didn't work before, now are. And my personal spam email has been virtually eliminated... Go figure...

I've had some issues like that myself. I think, and stress the think part, that it is cached addresses causing that. If you get a 404 going to pentarch.org/aurora, just change it to aurora.pentarch.org and leave rest of the url as is. That should update the cache...

I think that there is also a problem with the links on the pages. When I clicked on the orange icon (to go to the most recent unread acticles of the game review), I got a "404" error message, as the page tried to take me to the old URL.....

Try clearing your browser cache.

Hopefully this will all settle down in a couple days. Yahoo was most reluctant to let DNS entries go.

Nope looks like the problem lies in whatever is used to generate the digest links.

eg from the email

<td><a href="<td><a href="http://pentarch.org/aurora/viewtopic.php?p=7672#7672">7672</a></td><td>18 Dec 2007 10:11 AM  CST</td><td>Erik Luken</td><td>Host move is complete, and as far as I can tell successful.

</tr>

notice the href is still set to "http://pentarch.org/aurora/"

I suspect there is a setting misset somewhere

Just checked the latest digest - still giving links to places like

Can you have a look at this Erik?
