Hi all,
Over the next few weeks Paddleducks will be moving to a larger host.... This move will give us the space we need to expand, and also eliminate a lot of the restrictions our current host places on us, thereby allowing us to add new features that have previously been impossible...
I cannot be more specific on when this will all take place, but there may be a short period (maybe a few days) when Paddleducks will be unavailable. So don't think we've vanished into cyberspace, we haven't! There may also be a period when the site is back online but some things may not work correctly, so please be patient while we work through all the issues... All the hassle will be worth it in the long run!

Hi PD's & thats :great .......Eddy whilst you go & modify the existing WEB site like this...:crash & then provide a new :computer system, this could give all PD's a :hehe & breather to get a quick :beer or two prior to the commissioning or firing of the :boom of the new system....... "Let us Pray" :gather :evil: - Derek :D
-
Hi PD's & looks like :ohno & :oops & that [my] IRISH tounge :nah has got me OFF square leg off center :?: :roll: or [centre] again :!:
My previous posting re the new :gather :music :hehe :hehe PD site , I am sure could only be good
your humbleness in OZ - Derek :D

Well, the main part of the move to our new host is now complete.... The website is up and running, and the forum is sorted. Hopefully both will function correctly if I've done it all right, but if you notice any problems, please let me know!! I can't correct them if I don't know about them! :)
I still have the photogallery to sort, it's not working yet.... But after a day and a half of sitting in front of this damned computer, the photogallery can wait for a little while!
-
OOPS!
I forgot the chat forum software..... That's sorted now so it works correctly.
Just the photogallery to fix and we're there!
-
OOPS - AGAIN!!
I forgot to configure the mailboxes for those of you that take your messages via email - I've sorted this now, so you should be able to send and receive messages via email.
I'll eventually get everything back as it was I promise!!
-
Hi Eddy - my connection on OZ is still out of VOLTZ, been that way since late PM Friday 29/9 AEST - the only functionality via PD's is that I can log on to our WEB links - all other functiond result in 'sorry, but this board is currently unavailable, please try again later'
Â
regards Derek

Try clearing your browsers cache Derek - Your almost certainly reading in old pages that are stored on your computer.
-
I forgot Derek, the other thing that could be causing your problem is that your host hasn't updated it's domain name servers yet, so they are still pointing to the old website.... If that's the case it could take a couple of days for the update to take place, just be patient...
-
Hi Eddy, here is the copied message when I try to log on to PD's @ 19.30 AEST 1/10/2006  The page cannot be found The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
Â
Do any other PD members have this issue?__________Derek

What address are you using Derek? It should just be www.paddleducks.co.uk with nothing else added - That should get you straight to the main website....
As I said, It may just be that your hosts DNS servers haven't been updated yet, it can sometimes take 2-3 days...
-
I was having a log-in problem and just 'accidentally' stumbled on the solution, I noticed that it said on the 'site not available' page that it said I should try 'www.paddleducks.co.uk' - and there I was thinking that was what I WAS trying (using a favorites/bookmark shortcut thingy created using 'add to favorites' on an earlier visit here.....) Turns out the shortcut was to paddleducks.co.uk/HIGHINDEX .................... deleted the shortcut and saved a new one, problem solved :D
-
OK all - I deleted my log on short call & established a new one & it now works OK :?: :roll: :shock: :evil: :idea: ----bl>>dy computers :?: :computer :crash :great - Derek
-
I'm glad to hear the problem, is sorted Derek.... The downside of course is that we now have to put up with more banter from down under!
Only kidding mate, honest! :)

Hello all, any suggestions as to how I can collect the mail from my paddleducks mailbox through Outlook Express? All I get when I try to uplift is the following
Logon - mail.paddleducks.co.uk In the Blue Header Box of a pop up window
with:-
Please enter your user name and password for the following server
mail.paddleducks.co.uk&jim.beattie@paddleducks.co.uk
with my password:- **********
then the OK and Cancel buttons within the window
I've been unable to collect my spam, which generally seems to settle here and nowhere else at any of my other e-mail addresses.
Any assistance greatly appreciated
cheers
Jim
-
Email me with details of your paddleducks email account name and password Jim....
I'll then set it up again on the new site...
-
Well done Eddy. You've obviously burnt a lot of midnight oil - or supped a few ales! Everything working fine here now that I've cleared the cache and updated the link in 'my favourites'.

Hi PD's & welcome to our new electronic 'HOST' :rant - only joking Eddy :hehe :music , but when I logged onto the Photo Gallery today......this is what I saw :?:
Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/photopost/languages/english.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/tmp:/usr/share/pear:/home/fhlinux181/p/paddleducks.co.uk/user) in /home/fhlinux181/p/paddleducks.co.uk/user/htdocs/photopost/pp-inc.php on line 131
So not being really :computer literate I reflected & remembered a few years back a :post by PJ, when he asked what sort of response would be fourth/forth/[4th] coming from the Vegamite splattered keyboard :computer [south of that horizontal line around the fat part of our GLOBE]
>>>>> from memory, "an open_basedir restriction" is also an oriface :sorry :nah - couldn't resist it<<<<<
& Shock+Horror :crash awaits us all :roll: in the next rendition/edition/revision of "Steam for Nuts" by courtesy of our AFC from that funny funny funny :hehe :bravo Scotland & the not so brave - Derek :beer

I am not getting the photo gallery, am getting the same message as Derek.

Hi PD's - Eddy, I think that the facility of viewing our PD messages off line may have fallen OFF line :crash this evening - Derek

It does seem to be a little quirky at the moment Derek... Lets hope it settles down in time, if not there's no other software I can use to replace it, so it may have to go.... That's not what I'd like, but we'll just see how it goes first.
-
Damn damn damn! :sob
I've eventually found the reason that I couldn't get the photo gallery to work - Our new host doesn't allow one of the calls it makes to execute external programs because of security reasons, so now we're stuck with a gallery we cannot use :(
For the time being I've installed something that will work, and I'm in the process of uploading all the photos again - But the downside is that we've lost all the user galleries and photo descriptions etc.... You can create a new user gallery and upload your photos as before, but I have no way of being able to restore what we previously had.
I know it's damned annoying, but that's the way things go sometimes... My apologies to all, but I'm doing my best to get things back to normality.

Aaaaaaaw shoot thanks for everything you do for us Ed. T.J.

Hi PD's & moderators - just one small point to review, when we view the new Links page, your NEW SYSTEM has provided the opportunity for members to vote & offer a rating/scoring :computer [1 to 5] of the linked sites
I looked @ Model Steam Engines (UK) which had a hit of 1 and a score of 2
So without being too :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: I logged onto the site name list & entered a value of two :crash :rant & this input was accepted, being two hits & the average good score of two
Only real problem is >>>>> the Model Steam Engines (UK) site is non functional & has been so for the past year or so
So :thinking , :nose :hmmm :hmph
My vote is best we try :bow & to understand how to minimise fraudulent mathematics :spam within our own WEBSITE to start with :angel - Derek :beer
-
Hi PD's - I am not sure it the moderators met :gather & had a :coffee or TWO...., but the newer :computer facilities via 'php group' are pretty :angel....good.... Derek

I'm afraid you've lost me totally Derek - What new facilities??? Apart from the forum stats, we haven't added anything new recently, so I'm confused - Hey it doesn't take a lot to confuse me! ;)

Hi PD's ..... Eddy asked last week
I'm afraid you've lost me totally Derek - What new facilities???
Well I just meant the VIDEO section installed on 23/12/06 [it's called ESP] :lol:
So thanks also to Bob Golder for the VIDEO clips of PS Waverley...but as usual I am a little :oops: .... in the 280 MB of the engine room, we see the Engineer at his engine console obeying the engine commands :crash from bridge telegraph.......to the rear of the console [toward the engine] we see a thin [1/2"diameter] vertical shaft [6 1/2'high] & moving up & down with each revolution of the engine.... what is this control rod do :?:
The other supprising item of note is that the engine speed seems to build up to approx 45 RPM which is higher than I imagined
Apart from that :kewl & :post video's Bob......Oh & BTW, I think I saw Sandy & his ACS crew with their cup of tea & :towel VEGEMITE sandwich on the shore line in one video :music :hehe
regards Derek
-
The rod coming upwards is linked to a rev counter. As far as I remember this is a comparatively recent addition

Hi Derek
About 45rpm is the normal cruising speed - if I get on board this year I'll come back with a confirmation, but you'll have to wait till May as its midwinter here.
A few years ago I was lucky enough to see the engines opened "flat out" - that was either 56rpm or 58rpm - looked very impressive.
In her last days of Cal Mac ownership (early 1970's), before preservation, 35rpm was more normal - on too many cruises "time ashore" at the destination was not possible as she was so late she had to come straight back.
Regards and belated happy New Year to all
David
