Server Downtime & Update

Last Thursday, during a routine update, the server that twilightdays.org is hosted on went into a terrible cycle of death. The operating system got completely borked. Luckily, I'd made proper backups, and I continued to work over the entirety of Friday to back things up entirely and do things over again.
At the same time, I finally grabbed the information from D for hosting the Wyrm Site on your own domain!
Now - Saturday - I've finally managed to get everything resurrected on a new machine supported by a proper host, rather than being in my basement.
Welcome to Cruinndracfarms.com! Enjoy!
Update: I've also updated all of your wikipage links to point to the new site!

Thanks so much for all the hard work you must have done! It was probably such a pain to fix XD

Whee! Thanks for all the hard work! Like Celest said, I can only imagine how much you had to go through to fix all that server stuff. I've worked with servers before only once or twice, and that was at college, and not the most fun experience trying to get it to work nicely and even "talk" with other computers. XD

Thanks a billion Mercutio!

I'm glad nothing went too awry.

Onoes. I think I might have found a little glitch with the forum? When I click on a link to another topic in a post on the forum, I get logged off. Noticed this when I was changing the links in my topics for my Goodnight Wyrms poem and book threads to match the new forum and not the older twilightdays one. for example-
If I click this link that I posted:
http://cruinndracfarms.com/wyrmforum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1233,
when the page loads, the top of the forum no longer shows my forum username and "Logout" after the "Members" link. Instead, it shows the "Login" link, as if I am not logged in at all. Thought I would just let you know that this was an issue for me.

I had this same problem. If you use bookmarks to navigate back to the wyrm forum, change your bookmark to the url it gives you after you log in. It should be cruinndracfarms.org/wyrmforum/index.php___long stream of numbers and letters__. If you use this bookmark to get back to the site, it'll keep you from being logged out.
Using cruinndracfarms.org/wyrmforum seems to reset the login, strangely.
