SOS - Save Our Slugger!

September 14, 2004 Slugger coming back to health... Finally we are coming back to something approaching normality. As someone put it just before the London server went down Slugger was as unsettled as Wayne Rooney just before he joined Man U. Well Wayne has made his move and so has Slugger. We are now hosted on a nice new Unix server somewhere in New York. You'll notice that we are currently without our archives. This was a first casulty in the crash. We do have records of them, but they are not in a form that allows us to reinstate them either quickly or cheaply. We hope to add these as and when we have the opportunity. There are still some hiccups around the commenting system which are keen to clear up to everyone's satisfaction. If you come across anything strange or unusual let myself of Abi know about it and we'll do our best to sort it out asap. In any case welcome back to the Real Slugger O'Toole. Thanks for bearing with us during the interregnum. As we head (metaphorically) towards the Leeds Castle negotiations, we hope to keep you up to date with the latest developments. Just wanted to wish Slugger every best wish on the new server.
Posted by: David Vance Hmm.. "welcome back"?... let's hope so, Mick. Comment doesn't like fadas yet. and after signing in I end up on the MLA wages thread. How's that for starters. :o)

Posted by: OilbhÊar Chromaill I seem to be able to comment again. If this appears.
Posted by: Belfast Gonzo ...so thanks Mick!
Posted by: Belfast Gonzo Abi's the one to thank!
Posted by: Mick Fealty Its good to see the site back to its former self. Nice one Mick.
Posted by: Declan The comment about Slugger being as unsettled as Wayne Rooney was by yours truly!
Posted by: Young Irelander Well YI, here's hoping the New Slugger is more successful that young Bonker's new club has been recently :)
Posted by: Davros p.s. see those Google ads on the left? They rely simply on clicks to generate income so 1-2 clicks per day would help to pay for this new server*
Posted by: maca p.p.s Mick the pages are caching, can Abi add back in the meta tag to prevent caching? It seems to have disappeared when you switched server.
Posted by: maca Something odd here. I usually use Safari as my default browser, but can't seem to be able to register with Typekey. I put in my name and password, it goes back to the page from whence I came, but still has me down as "not signed in". Try again, and it just reloads the current page. It works fine on Mozilla, but as I use Safari 99% of the time, it's a pain to have to switch browsers. Any other users (especially Mac OS X users) with similar experiences? Otherwise, delighted to see Slugger back up. There's only so much Web Tangling I can take!
Posted by: Gerry O'Sullivan I'm using safari and it's working fine. better than ever in fact.
Posted by: Fraggle Typekey is working well !
Posted by: Davros and many thanks Maca for showing me the answer!
Posted by: Davros Gerry ... could it simply be your cookie settings in Safari? If it's your default browser you have likely done some 'settings tweaking'.
Posted by: maca My pleasure, D!
Posted by: maca Just downloaded Firefox. Yup, I like this! Go raibh maith agat, Maca!
Posted by: Gerry O'Sullivan Gerry - check some of the extensions for Firefox, in particular Mouse Gestures and some of the other navigation extensions. FF has just been upgraded so not all of the extensions/themes are ready for this new version yet. Some of the older extensions are really worth installing so hopefully they will also be upgraded soon.
