Well met
Candlekeep may be unavailable for a short period of time at some point over the next few days. This is while the site transfers between servers. The new server will provide increased speed in accessing the site content and forum. Both servers will be running simulatanously to ensure that the site itself is available almost seamlessly whilst the nameservers are updated. However, depending upon thy location, the forum may be inaccessable for a short time (this is the only part of Candlekeep which can NOT run simultaneously).
Apologies for any disruption. If there are any questions or queries on this operation, then please contact me.

Huh? I can see it just fine...

I'm on Firefox 1, and they all went kaput for me as well. (It was odd, Al, yours was showing, as was mine when I posted. When I came in this morning, yours was showing, Sirius' was showing, but Wooly and mine weren't. When I explicity allowed FF to load images from www.candlekeep.com, now all of 'em aren't showing, and when I "view image" I get:

Halt traveler, there is no door, corridor nor portal here. Ye have arrived at an area unknown.
(I believe that's your error 404 page)
(Then again, Worlds seems to be down, as well.) |

D'OH!
No, I didn't figure out the missing avatar problem - I just realized why the site looked .... different.
The background's missing!  It's all white here. I thought that was just because of the new servers, but when I did my IE/FF test (above) lo and behold! the background is back.

Aye, I have heard from a couple of other scribes (from Australia) who can't access Candlekeep. It appears that the nameservers have not yet been updated over there yet.... I hope. I'd expect they should be sorted out by the end of today. |

No apologies necessary. 
I figure I'll keep feeding information as it comes to me, on the off chance that some of it may actually be useful
Here at work, I'm running FF 0.9. I have the background - ahh, the nice background - but no avaters just yet. Hopefully, this isn't another TOT, eh? |

Things load faster, but not too noticable here. I haven't had any picture problems at all, however. |

Well met
Extraordinary. I'm currently testing using FF 0.9 and I get no background (although Lysander, on the same version, does?!)
For some reason, FF isn't take the image paths a relative paths (relative to the forum directory, i.e. back one level and into the images directory), whereas IE picks them up just fine.
This is most odd, FF is making assumptions and thus causing invalid image paths. The only way I can think to resolve this, is to rearrange the images and reset all the paths, and ultimately setting a global image path. However, it may take some time. Apologies for the inconvenience, feel free to switch from FF to IE |

If you can't take 'em, you can't run with the big dogs.

FF just had an update to version 1.01.
Nope, no avatars. Background, but no avatars yet.   |
