After much toing and froing (heh) they are now online.
There is a strange quirk with the Reader Comments that means on occasions the comments aren’t showing up even though they are posted correctly and are in the database. If you see this happening, please send me the URL to the entry so I can see if I can use the information to pin down what the heck is going on.
Cheers,

I’ve noticed a HUGE number of people have email addresses on other diarists notify lists which are no longer valid and are bouncing. The mailbox for the user who runs the webserver process (and is the sender of all notify mails) was over 160Meg when I returned to the UK!! To that end, I have…
Hi again, Wow, so many updates in so short a time. Hamipiks is now relocated and as the DNS catches up should come back online for everyone. This may take up to a day or so. Be aware that if Hamipiks comes back for you, it may not have come back for everyone else…
The ‘performance tweak’ has had to be rolled back – I can’t get the other areas of the code to retro fit without spending considerable effort and that effort is probably better spent on getting the new version out the door – one day… As such, everything should be back to how it was yesterday…
Some of our users have raised concerns that what’s happening over at mBlog could happen at DearDiary.Net. For those that don’t know what’s happened here’s a quick synopsis. mBlog (a blog provider I knew nothing about until today) has closed it’s doors due to ‘member abuse, inablity to reach agreement with Moveable Type and rising…
I had one this morning…. It looks like its from Microsoft, it has copyright Microsoft all over it. It arrived in my email with an attachment. It is NOT from Microsoft. Microsoft do not send patches by email and are highly unlikely to ever do so. Please do NOT open or run the attachment. If…
DearDiary.Net served over a quarter of a million pages last week… Thats PAGES, not requests. We served well in excess of a million requests (that includes images and such like). Thought you might like to know 🙂
Thanks, Steve; you’re doing a great job! 🙂
[PRIVATE COMMENT]
Steve, I’m sorry you’ve had to go through all this. Computers, God bless ’em, can be a pain.
And just to make it even better, there’s another glitch that you might not know about. I can get here if I Google deardiary.net, and click on a link, but clicking the "Home" button on my browser gets me only a cPanel page that says there isn’t a website configured for that address. I’ve got to the deardiary home page, told the browser to use it as my home page, and it still comes up with the cPanel.
I have, as I’ve just said, come up with a work-around, but am concerned that others may not have.
Thanks, and I hope you got some sleep!

Searching for a diarist’s name isn’t exactly working either… which I’m doing since I have hotmail. lol 🙂
It’s all good.
Cool,
you are doing a great job!
