Unfortunately, there seems to be a new problem with the server that handles the email. Still working on that. Update: It was a cable issue. Sometimes, you just need to have someone on location.

Wesley R. Elsberry Posts: 4991 Joined: May 2002 (Permalink) Posted: Dec. 10 2008,23:49    Well, I've run into an apparent Catch-22. I can't get logged into the domain registrar to change the TOA IP address until the registrar can email my new password to... a talkorigins.org address. I don't know whether Lunarpages set up any machine to forward mail from the previous IP address. I have a ticket in on this at Lunarpages, but they aren't going to be available until morning. This could be a royal pain to get resolved. -------------- "You can't teach an old dogma new tricks." - Dorothy Parker

I find myself frequently asking to have a password emailed to me. Obviously much less secure than having a written list that's not on the net. -------------- Any version of ID consistent with all the evidence is indistinguishable from evolution.

First I was heddle--then that account went bad (can log in but no messages, cannot post) Then for the longest time I was dheddle  --and now the same thing has happened to that account. Hint: I updated my email. After that, I can log in but the dheddle account is lobotomized. So I made a dpheddle account just to post this message--but I want to be dheddle, dammit! Anyway to fix this problem?

Tony M Nyphot Posts: 491 Joined: June 2008 (Permalink) Posted: Dec. 12 2008,12:43    Thanks Douglas. Thanks Wes. I have not visited the TO site since it was hacked. I followed your link just to catch up on one of my favorite sections, the "Post of the Month" archive. The scary thing is, one of my favorites was from March 2005, which just goes to show how long I've been addicted to watching the deconstruction of TARD. I suppose thanking Wes is like a junkie thanking his supplier. -------------- "I, OTOH, am an underachiever...I either pee my pants or faint dead away..."

Wesley R. Elsberry Posts: 4991 Joined: May 2002 (Permalink) Posted: Dec. 19 2008,21:20    I've been on the phone twice and entered a ticket online. This is just weird, since nothing has changed about the toarchive.org DNS and it was serving fine earlier this week. It took just minutes for Lunarpages to set up the toarchive.org domain and have it serving pages a week ago. They have spent all day today without getting the domain working. I'm told that the ticket will be worked on over the weekend. -------------- "You can't teach an old dogma new tricks." - Dorothy Parker

Wesley R. Elsberry Posts: 4991 Joined: May 2002 (Permalink) Posted: Dec. 23 2008,10:56    The http://toarchive.org/ link is working again, one email support ticket and six "please hold" calls to tech support later. I was told on three separate occasions that my ticket was being "escalated" to administrator attention. The email I got at the close of the ticket had something about "fixing" the domain's zone record... something that makes no sense, since the hosting service is not the domain registrar for the toarchive.org domain and has no ability to change SOA or DNS records for the domain. -------------- "You can't teach an old dogma new tricks." - Dorothy Parker

I'll have to think some more about getting last page info for the rest. ETA: Part of what I did set up default values, so I added current last page numbers for everything. Edited by Wesley R.
