Scheduled Maintenance

Posted on Monday, January 19th, 2009 in News

Today’s Scheduled Maintenance (08:00 GMT) will be longer than usual and I will be :

  • Installing a completely new Sponsor handling routine
  • Replacing banner handling - banners will be generated once only and saved as a normal .JPG
  • Moving Welcome page handling to another server - this should assist in speeding up access to the main site

URL’s for your Welcome and splash pages will change - as will your banner HTML, as a result of this but the existing ones will continue to work for the next few weeks.

Please ensure that you change your links as soon as possible

I am very happy to announce that I have a new helper - Erika - who will be assisting with general support queries. Erika is a German speaker and very keen to get started. Hopefully, we will clear the email backlog in the next few days.

Sponsor Handling

From today, sponsor handling will be as follows :

  1. Sponsor cookies are set ONLY from your Welcome page. The cookie used will have a lifetime of 24 hours - during which time, the visitor will be able to view any other page without losing the original sponsor.
  2. The sponsor cookie is accessed ONLY by the Signup page. If a visitor arrives on the site without a sponsor, this script will assign a random one.
  3. The Signup page will show the random sponsor and allow the visitor to alter it to a new name. This is the absolute last chance to change sponsors!

Apologies for the inconvenience but I think you will like the resulta :-)
