Another new look for the site

After getting bored with the old look which I created for the site a year ago day for day, I only just noticed this when I uploaded the new theme. I decided I wanted a new look but unfortunately having hardly any spare time at the moment I decided to work off of an existing theme.

Support forum

I’ve just set up a support forum based on the great wordpress plugin WP-Forum. Feel free to register & post any questions you may have about the seo-pack (& soon to be released phpBB bridge) if you have any suggestions on extra forums let me know & I’ll add them.

I’m back

Just so you all know I’m now back from Portugal a bit later then expected but at least I came back :) Just catching up with everything now it’s amazing how much you miss on the Internet over just a few weeks!

Not going to be here for a while

Just so no-one thinks I’ve suddenly disappeared, I thought I’d write up a quick post. I’m leaving on holiday tomorrow and won’t be back until the 16-17th of August.

I wasn’t planning on going anywhere but I got an offer I can’t refuse :) a free trip to Portugal with a friend of mine all I have to do is help paint their house over there. Sounds fair to me, anyway once I get back I’ll catch up with everything and hopefully finish the phpBB/PHPmotion bridge I’ve been working on for so long. :)

Unfortunately I won’t have much Internet access, so I’ve momentarily disabled installation services for the phpmotion addons to avoid any problems. If you have any problems/questions you can still email me & I’ll try and get back to you asap.

Goodbye cirtex, hello JaguarPc

I’m finally back online, the server I was hosted on with Cirtex was hacked & every single site on there displayed some “hacked by root-x” message. Probably hundreds of sites as it was shared hosting. Anyway it’s for the better, now I’m using a VPS from jaguarpc.com & all I can say is…. wow. I don’t know why I never moved sooner, sure you have to setup more of the stuff yourself as you manage the vps. But it’s so simple even an internet n00b could do it without too much trouble.

So, if you’re looking for somewhere to host your video site, blog or whatever other sites you own take a look here you won’t regret it!

PS. Their support is the best I’ve ever seen, I used the ticket system for a few questions I had & usually it was solved within minutes! I’d definitely recommend them if you need someone to walk you through the first steps!!

Sorry about the delay

For those of you waiting for the phpBB3 integration mod or the update for the seo-pack, I’m sorry it’s taking so long but there’s a simple stupid reason to the delay.

99% of the time I cannot even connect to my own site (http or ftp), for some reason the only IP my ISP doesn’t let me connect to appears to be the one I’m hosted on. All Cirtex have to say is contact your ISP, so after not getting anywhere with either the ISP or the host I’m off to somewhere new.

I’m currently in the middle of setting up my new vps with jaguarpc.com & so far so good :) once this is all sorted out, things will get done a hundred times faster (ok maybe not a hundred but it’ll sure speed up).
