The winner does, it's a good interpretation.

Can someone fix File:Confidentialimage.jpg on the Union Handbook? Someone managed to upload over the damn image and my attempts to revert ended in failure.

[EDIT] Actually, scratch that. It's showing correctly now. For some reason it wasn't, despite registering the revert. :s

New Featured Articles on the Handbook

It's been a little longer than I'd originally hoped but I have updated the front page of the handbook! Yay!

I apologise for thedelay, I have been plagued with all sorts of computer and internet issues alongside the odd real life hiccup. many thank yous to those of you who did nominate articles, we get very few nominations so its nice to see the ones that do get posted!

Without further ado, the new features are:

Just a heads up. UnionVerse will be going black tomorrow. You will be unable to make any edits or visit any pages for the duration of the black out.

The blackout will go from 12:01 EST to 11:59 EST on January 18th. Your data will not be affected.

I won't be posting the reason here to keep the discussion off CoH but if you are interested there is a post on the wiki forums.

Edit: NVM, had the wrong address for some reason. Didn't realise it had changed.

I'm using wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Main_Page at the moment. I can't remember what the old one I had was. But .org and .net sent me to a BT page saying the page doesn't exist, if that helps?

Downtime Friday February 17 - 18

Our host has schedule a large window of down time coming up on Friday, February 17th from 8PM EST (5PM PST) to approximately 8AM EST (5AM PST). The purpose of this downtime is going to be to physically move the server to a new data center. This will hopefully resolve some of the intermittent connection issues that have plagued the site for a few months now.

Please keep an eye on the @VirtueVerse twitter feed for updates.

Yo.
Don't know if this is the right place to be asking, but I haven't been able to connect to the Handbook for..quite a while now.
Only happens on my home IP adress. Can use it fine elsewhere, and can log in without issues. When I try to access the website (even just the home page) I get a "connection has timed out" message.
I'm kinda confused as to why this is, so any help would be appreciated

Hey Echo,

I know the host is moving to a new data center because of connectivity issues, but I'm not sure if that is the problem here. But there are a few things you can try to diagnose it.

First try loading: http://www.ransim.com/ from home. You should get a simple page that says Web Site's Default Page. If that pages loads then you can connect to the server, but not UHVU.

If that page still does not load, then its possibly some weird DNS issue.

Open your command prompt, in windows click start then type CMD. It'll load the normal black command prompt.

Type:

Ping www.virtueverse.net

See if that resolves. If that fails then try:

ping 66.187.109.7

If that succeeds and the first one did not then you have a DNS issue. It could be that your DNS server, provided generally by your internet provider, isn't updating. You can try to resolve this by changing your DNS providers to another provider. Google Public DNS and OpenDNS are both options and are free.

If that fails as well then there is a routing issue and its likely host based and not something that's easy to fix. I would wait until Sunday or Monday and see if the physical move happening Friday resolves the issue.
