    The DIHA website is in the process of moving to another server. While the DNS is propagating I can’t tell if it’s functioning correctly or not, so if you visit the site and it looks completely borked, or is gone completely, please lemme know <img decoding=” title=”Smiley” /> I did this in a bit of a rush so it’s entirely possible I may have broken something during the switch-over.

    Looks like it’s working … http://dunedinicehockey.hellyer.kiwi/

    [s:1j5vwuu1]Oops, I forgot to copy most of the images and documents across. Knew I'd forget something! It'll be fixed soon.[/s:1j5vwuu1] [i:1j5vwuu1]Fixed[/i:1j5vwuu1]

    EDIT: Darn it, there should be a different font used too. That’ll probably get fixed within the next week. It’s part of a larger problem I need to sort for another project.

    EDIT 2: [s:1j5vwuu1]Crap, links aren't working on the home page :([/s:1j5vwuu1] [i:1j5vwuu1]Fixed[/i:1j5vwuu1]

    EDIT 3: It looks bad on mobile devices. I’ll be writing a new piece of software for doing that eventually (it’s something I intend to sell) so that upgrade will need to wait until that software is ready. In the mean time it’s at least functional on mobile devices, albeit things are a bit squished.

    DNS seems to be bouncing around all over the place for me, so in the mean time I’ve locked it down to the following URL so that I can work on it right now … http://dunedinicehockey.pressabl.com/

    Once it’s propagated I’ll switch it back to the usual dunedinicehockey.hellyer.kiwi address.

    Note to Kyle: I’ve shortened some of your posts titles so that they’re shorter which works a little better with the new design.

    And before anyone asks, no the three header image thingy is not permanent, that’s just a stop-gap till I track down something better to put in there instead. If you have any good action shots of DIHA teams (with their new jerseys) please post them here for me to use <img decoding=” title=”Smiley” />

    Still looks exactly the same to me – no new design?

    #17274

    It just hasn’t propagated for you yet. If you are on the uni. network you are probably experiencing the same issue I’m having. They keep flicking between the old DNS and the new. Navigate to the following URL and you will see it:

    http://dunedinicehockey.pressabl.com/

    I’ve been flicking between the old and new URL as I thought it would eventually correct itself, but it seems not, so I’ll just keep that sub-domain operational until later on tonight when it should definitely have propagated fully.

    No I get an auto-redirect from that address to http://www.dunedinicehockey.hellyer.kiwi, which looks the same as it has for ages.

    #17276

    No you didn’t. You haven’t checked since I last posted <img decoding=” title=”Tongue” />

    BTW, the DIHA has [b:2ccfhu7h]NEVER[/b:2ccfhu7h] been at http://www.dunedinicehockey.hellyer.kiwi. I keep see WWW written on the front of the URL from official DIHA stuff, but it has never had that sub-domain. It’s always been redirected to the non-www URL.

    #17277

    I’m guessing the DNS stuffs probably sorted itself out now, so I’ve removed the redirect and the actual domain should be working fine hopefully …
    http://dunedinicehockey.hellyer.kiwi/

    If it isn’t working for you, don’t worry, it’ll sort itself out within the next 24 hours automatically.

    Is the www redirect for SEO purposes?

    EDIT: Also, I really think there needs to be a “New to Ice Hockey? Click here!” button for people who want to get involved. I mean, under the competitions link it mentions club nights and the DIHL and whatnot, but that means nothing unless you already know what they are.

    EDIT2: Oh, I just noticed the sidebar. Didn’t really jump out at me for some reason. Maybe the “membership” heading should say “get involved” instead?

    #17279

    The redirect is for SEO purposes, the lack of www is simply because adding it is completely pointless. www sub-domains became irrelevant before most of us even started using the web.

    Your suggestions seem reasonable.

    #17280

    Header image has been replaced with pictures of players in DIHA uniforms. If anyone has better quality ones please pass them on! The ones we’ve got aren’t exactly great quality. I photoshopped them a bit, albeit they’re probably a bit bright now, but will do for the mean time. They’re at least wearing the right uniforms now instead of our oppositions!
