Have finally fixed the email set up. 30 years in IT and it was still bloody difficult.

Less should turn up in spam folders now.

And we won’t bulk email like that again, don’t want abuse people’s emails.

Fuck that. We have emails for
a reason.

Thought I'd received the ban hammer for my views on Rassie. Glad that's not the case, so that I may attempt to bring balance to the force

BTW the link www.silverfern.rugby is having a meltdown on my phone.

Any settings I'm missing?

We've done less work on the main site, might still be a few Gremlins on that. Try;

forum.silverfern.rugby

I've been using that on the phone ok.

Will deal with a few glitches while you gurus sort it all out.

Thanks again.

I think there is a cert issue left to go on that side of things.

We are 80% migrated to a new beefy server, last big hurdle is the DB migration.

I just changed some settings related to the certificate. That might fix it.. it will take a while to propagate though

The bulk email worked well but a lot of accounts (more recent ones) didn't have an email associated with it

Please pass around the updated url to any TSFers you know who don't turn up in the next few days

For example Mauss didn't have an email in his account. Same with a lot of the newer Otago/Highlanders posters

No worries, I was frantically searching for updates either way. I'm just glad it wasn't my fault for using all of these GIFs.

Fuck me, getting that email was like coming up for air!

Advising people of a new domain name is the exact opposite of abuse. It's what it's for

Yeah no issues with the bulk mail out given the circumstances. I assume 'we won't don't this again' has an unspoken 'unless we really have to'.

Didn't the forums also use to use someone's personal domain before the switch to forums.thesilverfern.com? So this makes it the third domain that I've used to get here.

Yeah that was @Kirwan 's

I think it ran like that for about 3 years. It was finally fixed in late 2016

Kirwan

Yeah, it used to run off my own server. That was before cloud really took off, the stuff you can build these days is nuts.

canefan

Will the site eventually go back to the old web address?

Duluth

@canefan

The old address will redirect here.. eventually

But this is the url from now on
