So glad the forum is back! Thanks to everyone who chipped in to make this happen. I was all set to make a contribution after my payday last friday but the contibutions were already made enough in excess. You guys rock! You can count on me the next time we need the help to keep this forum alive.

...oh, and we didn't come through completely unscathed. Before the move I ran a cleanup on the forum and deleted all users who hat not logged in for more than two years (about 95% of these were people who joined, posted an ad in the FS section, then disappeared). This was done in an attempt to get the database down to a more reasonable size in preparation for the move. Chances are the people that this will affect will never read these words, but if you're one of those who was deleted, now you know why...

Just being on the user side here, I believe it's because the way you're currently accessing the site: http://64.57.210.240/~foxtbird/index.php

The random banner is being called from the following address:
http://64.57.210.240/random.php

See the problem? This is why the random.php (banner) is not being loaded.

This will work itself out when your DNS provider updates the IP address of the site.

Members can get around this by editing their HOSTS file, generally located in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC and add the following line:
64.57.210.240  http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com

You may then need to open a command prompt and type in:
ipconfig /flushdns

You should then just be able to type in http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com and the HOSTS file will direct you to the proper IP address of 64.57.210.240 When it does, you'll notice the banner up top works because the path is now correct:

I noticed that too - our new host says that they may disable some scripts during the move. Perhaps Alex, who wrote the script to begin with, can troubleshoot and get it back?
