We are now BookObsessed!  She didn't say anything but I noticed it's changed.

Oh... and I don't know if we can change "Temporary_Bookrelay" from all the URLs or not.

BTW, Myst! Do NOT bring reality TV into it please.

Sand, I think that's where purchasing the domain name comes in.

It would point here...

I don't know if this would still be the ultimate URL or not... you'd have to ask Cherie about that.

Yup, I've been looking into that.

Putting aside using the domain name for a moment, our official site name would remain as Temporary_Bookrelay unless we rename the board, which is possible, but the old URL will NOT forward to the new URL automatically.

Now add in the bookobsessed.com. With a properly configured DNS entry--don't worry, I'm a network admin so of course it'll all be configured right but yeah, most of the time you won't see the Temporary_Bookrelay part. Internally, to the board itself though, it'll still use it, and there may be times where you'd see it. Possibly even on search engine listings, etc.

So I figure we'll change that part AFTER we've switched over to using the domain, so we've gotten everyone used to getting here using the domain. And then we can send out a bulk email to all members just to catch any stragglers and tell them of the name change in case they still have the old URL format bookmarked. And of course, I'll ask CR to change the link on the old site too.

Expect that we'll start using the domain to get here sometime this week. Some domain-related changes could take up to 24 hours to take effect, so I guess we'll officially announce it once everything is all good.

We have a name! My little tab is showing BookObsessed!! Woohoo! Oh yeah oh Yeah!

No...never noticed. the url above says z14.invisonfree.com/Temporary_Bookrelay...etc

I'll have to try typing in the new address.

Edited" Okie dokie just read further..that address hasn't been change, so we are still using this url for now.

We just haven't bought the domain name yet and had it directed here.

Caught up.

She does, my mom's side of the family is all Serbian.

It sounded long because I don't understand the language a lot and it was early in the morning.

Alrighty then....

The BookObsessed.com domain has been registered and configured to point here. The forum itself will continue to use the invisionfree.com URL for the next day or so until I'm sure the DNS (domain name server) updates have propagated around the Internet.

What this means from your perspective is that even if you can successfully use the bookobsessed.com or www.bookobsessed.com URL to get here, once you start navigating around, the address field will revert back to the invisionfree.com/Temporary_Bookrelay URL. (This is a precautionary measure on the part of your network admin to ensure that things don't break for people whose ISP may not yet have gotten the name updates.)

Final step once I'm sure that the name changes are well propagated, is to change the configuration of the board so that it uses the bookobsessed.com domain internally and doesn't change back to the Invision one in the address bar while you're navigating around. Once we reach this point, I'll send a bulk email out to all members to start using the new URL, and also ask CR to update the address on the old relay site.

w00t w00t!!


PS - We'll still do the other rename we talked about, so that the backup URL for the site, and the name that we're known by to the Invisionfree staff, gets changed from Temporary_Bookrelay to BookObsessed. But we'll wait about a week until everyone's using the new domain to get here, has updated their bookmarks, links, etc., before making that change. Because once we do that, z14.invisionfree.com/Temporary_Bookrelay will no longer be valid but z14.invisionfree.com/BookObsessed will.

Yay! Thanks Sand and Cherie!

I'm there. It now says bookobsessed.com when I come to the site. (I didn't notice until I saw that I wasn't logged in)
