Welcome to the new look CLUAS! 17262 4
Started by eoghan
This new look has been in the pipeline for a long time (way, too long, should have been done years ago, anyways I digress....). Late or not, here it is.
But it's not just a new look. We have also launched CLUAS social networking - à la MySpace and Facebook - for all CLUAS members. To see it in action you should log in and visit this page to see your own profile page. You can update it yourself (just click 'Edit Profile'). I recommend you add in a quick biography, upload a photo and then go a...

CLUAS - full site is working again 4056 0
Started by admin
If anytime between Monday and Wednesday this week you tried to visit the blogs, discussion or (recent) album reviews sections on the CLUAS site you would have been met with a message that those sections were temporarily disabled (all other sections including the home page and end of year poll were not effected). This has all now been sorted since late last night.
The problem was that on Sunday I upgraded the site to the latest version of the technology that runs these parts of the sites u...

Album reviews on CLUAS: an upgrade 2891 0

-> Add comments to all new album reviews published on CLUAS, and also
-> Subscribe to an RSS feed for the album review section.
The RSS feed possibility is particularly interesting. By subscribing to the CLUAS RSS feed you will be able to keep track of the latest album reviews published on CLUAS from the comfor...

Problem with CLUAS server fixed. 2883 0
Started by admin
If anyone tried to access the CLUAS discussion board between 10pm last night and about midday today you would have got an error. This has now been fixed. It took so long as the solution was to migrate the entire site to a new server (a task our hosting company did it beautifully, or something like that). Apologies for the inconvenience. If anyone is still having any problems, let me know.
Cheers.

There are a few cosmetic tweaks necessary to the site following the upgarde, but I'll deal with them tonight. Anybody seeing a different in response times / load ti...

CLUAS gig reviews get featured in Google News 2955 0
Started by admin
Back in October Google started to feature CLUAS album reviews in its (very selective) Google News search engine (http://news.google.com). A sound endorsement of what the writers are generating, etc, etc. I was pleased therefore to see that yesterday CLUAS gig reviews started to get featured in Google News. The first two CLUAS gig reviews to be featured by Google News search results are the Flaming Lips and Gang of Four reviews. Check out the following pages to see the articles in Google News ser...

The following is list of improvements made so far to address the issues: A new 'editor box' for adding new replies / topics has been installed.

This a.m. I published 6 new album reviews. By the afternoon all 6 of them have been picked up by the Google 'news' search (http://news.google.com).

Moving CLUAS to a new web server... 3392 2
Started by admin
In the last two days I (successfully) migrated the whole CLUAS site to a new hosting company. This will have resulted in some possilby funny (but uncritical) site behaviour for some people when visiting the site in the 36 or so hours. But things should be settled down by tonight for everyone (Friday May 19). So why is it not settled down before now you may ask. It's to do with 'DNS propogation' taking 24-48 hours to be completed. Want to know what that means in more detail Then check this out: ...

CLUAS server back in action (part II) 2969 1
Started by admin
Apologies for those who tried to access the CLUAS website this a.m. (weds). It was down, as it was for a few hours on Monday morning. I've been on to the hosting company and they are on the case and are aware of the fact that this has happened now twice in 2 days. They say there is an issue on the server that they are trying to troubleshoot. Hopefully the site will remain accessible over the coming days while they sort it out. Apologies in any case, for what has been a double blip on the landsca...
