So basically, just adding the forum. where needed.
Does this go into effect in a few minutes? I've already done the Allie Q&A links. About to do the Jeanty ones...and they're now done too.

We should probably send out a mass PM telling all the members to edit the links in the Sigs too.

The forum.slayalive.com should be up, as well as slayalive.com/forum

Emmie, we have unlimited disk space and unlimited data transfer. Unlimited bandwidth! Be careful of that... in my experience, "unlimited data transfer" just means they don't quote you an exact numerical limit... but they *will* cut you off if you use too much bandwidth for their liking, and then point at the fine print in the terms of service that lets them do just that. You're much better off with a plan that offers a finite (but high) bandwidth limit, than with one claiming to be "unlimited."

Be careful not to host too much in the way of big video or multimedia files, unless you're on a dedicated server.

I actually started a kind of Buffy encyclopedia a while back (with the help of the other Erica) but got side tracked (baby! lol) I could definitely try to pick it back up again, with help, if you wanted. I still have some of it, some of it has been lost though We can finish it, Erica! Everyone needs to know about all the Whedon merch:) Excellent idea CBG! I love that you want to expand!

Be careful not to host too much in the way of big video or multimedia files, unless you're on a dedicated server. I have to agree with this. With my website I ran into bandwidth and storage problems even though the host said "unlimited". The unlimited only applied to specific file types. Images don't really take up too much space, but if you start getting into videos it might be best to host the videos separately and then link to them.

Buffy fans of the world UNITE! This is a truly glorious, epic idea and it makes me very happy. I can't wait to see how it turns out. If I can be of any help at all, please let me know. I don't really know what I could help with, but if you all have something kind of trivial or time consuming and repetitive that would be wasting your awesome talents that would be better used on something bigger I can take that off of your hands. Or even something that seems so small as proofreading or something.

Updates: The gallery folder has been uploaded, and all I have to do is wait for the server to propagate (takes time to change over DNS info). Once that happens, the regular slayalive.com/index url will be a blank page, and the forum will be found only through forum.slayalive.com!
The next thing would be to install the coppermine gallery, and get that going! After that I want to get the blog up, and allow people to volunteer as authors!

I would maybe recommend putting up a temporary page on the slayalive.com/index URL, informing people that the forum can now be found at forum.slayalive.com - as the prior URL doesn't redirect automatically.
People who don't visit the forum regularly and didn't see this post yesterday might not be able to find it.

I was really worried when I tried to get to the forums last night and got that 403 Forbidden message. Was afraid I'd pissed off TPTB. LOL...but I had my email this morning so here I am. I know nothing about computers and since I'm new to the fandom I can't offer expertise in any area, but I can spread the word and encourage those of you working so hard.

I have a placeholder up, and yes, it's pretty crappy. But I'm learning to use Dreamweaver as we go so it's the best I can do at the moment.
I think that there's still issues with the domain change, so the blog and gallery may not be up for 72 hours.

I hadn't know about any of this until I went to Slayalive.com and saw the construction thingo. Though I must say I think this is an AMAZING idea and I cannot wait for it all. The Whedonverse is seriously lacking in some highly active and recent good quality fan sites and SlayAlive can easily fill that space considering the help offered. I'd totally be willing to help, I'm not sure how I could though. If there is anything I could help with, just let me know, I just don't know exactly what I could help with. ;D Ooooh, excitement!!!

So the under construction page I made is showing up? It still shows the forum when I try.
