A reminder to all members, since moving webhosts, the correct forum address is now:

www.moonlightaholics.com

Some members are still using the address without the www and this is causing various problems, ranging from being unable to log in, to links not working.

Authors and artists with indexes
Please check your indexes and update your links to ensure that the www is included in all links (otherwise they may not work for all members wishing to use them and can result in users getting logged out).

Many thanks.

So, just to be sure I have this right: before when we would copy and paste a url the addy would show up like this: viewtopic.php?f=80&t=2121

And now the whole address shows, so we have to include it in all our links. Have I got it right?

Thanks!

PS: Actually, I just noticed that I did post a link after the reopening and it came out without the www.moonlightaholics too...

Catmoon. I just tried one of my links from before the move and it was the viewtopic you showed and it worked. Some of us had trouble logging in on the old server and found it easier to log in without the www. If I'm wrong about the links though Red please tell me.

The "viewtopic" or"viewforum" addys should still work here. When I was testing the links in the indexes, the only problem I found was when logged in to the "www" url, clicking links without the prefix would then require the user to sign in again. Likewise, if one was logged in using the url without the "www" prefix, links with the prefix caused problems.

Our main concern after the move is that everyone log in using the "www" prefix. Hopefully, many of the login problems we were experiencing will be avoided that way.

I wasn't having any trouble logging in with the old one, but I changed my bookmark to include the www. Thanks for the heads up.
