Yes, we are aware of the problem. As I don't know the full reason behind it I can't give you all the details. Mb81 has made some changes that are suppose to improve ... something. Speed or resilience if I understand it correctly. One of the side effects has been the loss of the server ID... I'm still trying to work out how to fix that.
If you're having problems add a line to your hosts file to use one of these as the forum address: 213.239.221.230, 213.239.221.231 or 213.133.113.171. They seem to be fine, the other addresses seem to return the 500 errors (for me at least, YMMV). |

The way IPs are reported on the server internally has changed in such a way that the script that displays server number can no longer determine which server you are on based on IP (all servers now supposedly report 127.0.0.1 as their own IP).
Anyway... this means everyone now gets the "You are using server Unknown" message. |

Ok we got another problem, seems that some of the thread links in this forum will direct us to http://www.animemanga.de/
Does this mean server is being hacked? |

being redirected nonstop, srver connect trouble?
im not sure if this has been reported yet or if admins are bussy gdoing soemthing, but its difficult to check as well
it started when i wanted to go to the scond page in the fan art submitting section, you know fanart and self made thingies everytime i pressed go to next page i got reirected to this site http://www.animemanga.de/ why, only god knows, all i knew was that it was very annoying.. i pressed back to try and get to the page again this occured baout 4 times before i actually came to the second page then i decided to post a message in one of the topics (thank god i saved the message) by quick reply, when i pressed post, nothing happened.. then i got a message above the quick reply screen saying that an error had occured and it couldnt get posted, i pressed okay, being kinda confussed.. i decided to drop here to try and see if t occured again and wether someone reported it yet.. but as soon as i pressed on the Forum & Feedback, i got reirected to the site again, the ares didnt show up int he above screen but its a site not an advert, after reloading the entire forum i went in again and got again redirected when i pressed make a new topic (for this message) and its even possible ill have to try and repeat posting this as well... does anyone know what is going on? (i havent been ont he forums for about 5 days so i got no clue ) |

Someone in another section of the forum mentioned that by flushing the DNS cache has solved the problem for him/her. Just thought I would mention it here.

@ Cyz
I'm gettin' similar problems.. Just a few minutes ago, I would get the white pages of doom each time I would try to preview my post. Clicked that button half a duzon times before it started working again. Mm. Seems to work now.. @ Nightfly Yes it seems there was a problem, read Mb81 post above. It seems that there was a slight typo in a recent update. Honest mistake..

NightWish created the script that identies the server, not mb81. Due to the unannounced server reorganisation, the script NightWish originally wrote to display the server number no longer worked so he had to update it. In the process he used names instead of numbers to identy the servers (and it's clear that he's a Rozen Maiden fan ). As for the levels of rep, I was planning to one day update the reputation levels and "animify" the titles. Or at least run some sort of "Suggest new Reputation Level names" for the forum. But that's off-topic to this thread |
