New Server
Okay folks - the site is now on shiny new set of bigger, faster, bad-ass servers! đ đ
Sorry for the brief no-login period tonight. It was necessary for moving the database without losing any forum messages, user reviews, etc. (Can't move a database while it's changing!)
No downtime for the site, though, and only 45 minutes of not logging in - not bad for moving a large site like this! đ
But anyway - please let me know if you notice any glitches or oddities. A lot changed behind the scenes, so there are bound to be some issues.
Thanks! đ

đ Thanks.
One cool thing about the new database server: it lets you search on words as small at 3 letters. With the old server the minimum was 4.
Before, you couldn't search the news or forums for things like "Ogo", "ixi", "ESN", "SMS", "TFT", "IMS" etc.
Now you can! đ

Thanks! I've had some practice doing it before, but I think I also had a lot of luck on my side this time around! đ

In the CTIA 2005 feature article, most of the pictures of the Samsung A970 lead to dead links when you click to enlarge the picture.

Whoops! đ¤
Thanks!
It's been fixed.
If you see the 404 image again, hit reload and the correct image should load.
If it still doesn't work, and it says "[1]" at the very, very bottom of the page, that's a known issue that will be fixed soon. If it says "[2]", please let me know - it should work.

Okay folks - just found and fixed a major problem.
It seems all email messages from the site for the last 22 hours or so (since the new web servers went online) were not delivered. That includes new account verification emails, forum reply alerts, private messages to other users, report-to-moderator alerts to us, and feedback to us.
Sorry about this! It's been fixed for new email from here on.
The emails that were supposed to be sent during that period are not gone, but they're not easily accessible, either. âšī¸
I'm going to try to flush the queue and get those emails delivered, but I can't guarantee that will be possible. I'll reply here to keep you posted.

It doesn't look like I'll be able to re-send the emails from this morning. âšī¸
If you registered for a new account today and didn't receive the verification email, you should get an email from me shortly with instructions.
I was able to recover the feedback sent to us and reply where appropriate.
There didn't seem to be any forum messages reported to us as inappropriate.
Unfortunately, forum reply alerts and private messages sent to other users will not be re-sent. âšī¸ Hopefully this doesn't affect too many people since it was a holiday.
