I was informed last night that I may not be able to host retroforth.org on this server (provided by thin, from #retro) as of later this month. While not definite, I am beginning to setup a mirror of it on my VPS.
Since the plan I currently have is rather limited in memory, I will likely disable the "News" section of the site initially, and begin migrating away from a php-driven backend to a static system instead. The move should be pretty seamless once I have apache or another http server supporting PHP and MySQK setup on the VPS.
I will post updates to this thread as events unfold.

I have repurposed http://retroforth.com for the mirror. Currently the documentation, downloads, and main page are up and ready. The mirror does not maintain a live copy of the irc log though, since my VPS host does not permit irc clients or servers

Hi Charles,
long time, no talk.
You still have your shell account on my box and we should be able to set things up there.
Drop me a note,
s.

Thanks to Stefan the Forum, Wiki, and News are now hosted on his server. I have almost everything else on my vps. The split will be as seamless as possbile in the near future. Also, I upgraded the forum software, so I have to redo the theme for it. Oh well. At least everything is up and running without any significant downtime.

I do use Firefox on Linux. With my last post after preview I had this issue two times as I wanted to get an updated preview...

Ok, now I am also starting to see this problem with previews. I wonder why it's happening....

If anyone has recieved bounces when emailing me at crc@retroforth.org, I am sorry. There was some misconfiguration on the mail server for about a month; this should be fixed now.

Some related IRC channels are logged at http://tunes.org/~nef/logs/ ... I'll ask him to add #retro.
I'm still noticing some quirks with the forum... I'm getting blank pages, seemingly at random. Also, it doesn't work at all with the 'dillo' browser I use on my old development machine.

I haven't seen any problems personally since stefan changed the apache config, and it works on my copy of dillo. (version 0.8.5). I'll keep working on the php code, but I'm really not sure what to try next....

The empty pages I still can do see randomly too. I do not see them as often as before.
I dont think (or better "can not imagine") it's a PHP issue. Is there somewhere on the way a load balancer or similar? Maybe at the provider? I've seen similar effects only for pages behind load balancers or proxy like things. But it of course still could be an Apache issue.
