New DomainLadies and gents, we have officially gone PRO!! Check us out!! No longer will we be known by either 'aeipathy.proboards.com' nor 'aeipathy.forums.net' -- we are officially:
www.aeipathyrp.comCheck us out!! I feel very shiny and professional - don't you feel shiny and professional?
This is now the last dregs of our connection to any hoster and we are now (for all intents and purposes, as people
see us) self hosted! We just have the bonus of the forums.net back end so that I can keep coding awesome stuff for you guys and get plugins for cool features and all sorts! <3
Okay so how does this work? Welp, we're gonna have a little bit of a scuffle here that you're all gonna have to sort out on your ends so that you don't keep getting logged in and out of different accounts. Here's the thing:
The domain handles what login you are currently logged in as. It's the same site (we haven't duplicated like last time) but the domain link is what handles what login you are looking at. As such, if you are logged in as Character One on aeipathy.forums.net but logged in as Character Two on aeipathyrp.com, you may find that going to a bookmarked page of forums.net will then switch you to Character One, but clicking any of the links on the site (which are now defaulted to .com) will boot you back to Character Two. Very confusing and very unhelpful.
SO. Here's what you do...
STEP ONEDelete any and all browser bookmarks that you may have. This includes any links that people might have saved in off-site thread trackers. These will have saved the forums.net root of our domain and will immediately get things confused when you click them and enter the site through the old URL. If you want a to make a note of the pages manually on a notebook or something go for it - you'll be able to re-bookmark later. Please note that any bookmarks or thread trackers that are being handled
through the site - such as through the auto thread trackers will be fine and do not need to be edited.
STEP TWOGo to: aeipathy.forums.net (actually copy and past this into your URL bar) and
before clicking on any links of any kind go to the top left of the page and where it says Switch Accounts. Hover over that link (to NOT click - or you'll have to start again) and select the Logout Completely option that should appear below it.
Please Note If you use Aeipathy on multiple devices you will have to complete Step One for each and every device. But you should only have to do it once
per device.
STEP THREEGo to: aeipathyrp.com (or
www.aeipathyrp.com - they both go to the same domain/place) and log back in. From this point onwards you should have zero issues navigating the site and not being booted out of accounts.
IMPORTANTRemember - any link to forums.net will send you to the site through the old domain and you will find yourself logged out again. If you log in through this domain you will reconfuse things and have to do this whole process again. This includes: announcement links, and links to tagged posts in our #roleplay-tags channel. For the short term, use the links if you wish to read quickly but make sure to edit the URL back to aeipathyrp.com before you login and go posting. As time goes on, the tagging channel will be filled with links with the
correct domain root as people start to use it, so this is only a temporary transfer thing.
Hope you guys like our nice and shiny new name - I feel all grown up!! ^_^ And sorry that this is going to be a tiny faff just to get the ball rolling and the links etc all sorted but I hope you are all as excited as me to get the brand new URL up and running!!
