thedeadone.net is back!

It’s seems I’m back online again. The admins of Redbrick, the host of thedeadone.net, turned Redbrick off after it was discovered that people’s personal webpages had been hacked. Now it looks like everything is up again (if you find something a-miss on the site, drop me a comment). The admins have re-installed everything from scratch and re-instated all the user-data from back-ups before the attack. A pretty large amount of work for admins-slash-students to do.

In all the time I’ve been on Redbrick, this feels like the longest it’s been gone. And it’s a strange experience to have lost my online presence for such a longish unexpected period. I felt like I couldn’t connect or speak about anything, nearly as if I ceased to exist in an online context. Not that I would have hade much to say, having just gotten over the vomiting bug and having to work from home while my daughter recovers from chicken pox. I’m absolutely shattered. But anyway, I’m back online and I do have a small queue of posts to put up.

    Hello. I’m trying to register for the forums on your site, but get an error message.

    I never received my password. When I click “Lost Password” and enter my email, I get the error message:

    “The e-mail could not be sent.
    Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function…”

    If possible, please send my password so that I may log-in to the forums. Thank you!

    > I’m using your TDO Mini Forms plug-in for WordPress 2.5, but I’m having some problems:

    1. Cannot “Save Changes” when editing my widgets. Taking very, very long time to get response from server. Impossible.

    2. Is there a way to export my form and import so that I don’t have to recreate it again? I’ve build it on a test server, but need to upload everything to a client site. It would be nice if I could export my form and import to new install of WordPress.

    Please contact me by email.

    Thanks!

    Hi Steven,

    Yes there seems to be a problem with sending email. I’ve contacted my host about it. However, you don’t need to register on the forums to use them. They are open to unregistered users, or at least I believe they are!

    1. Cannot “Save Changes” when editing my widgets. Taking very, very long time to get response from server. Impossible.

    Do other plugins work? Can you save the Options page and the Form options page? Are you using wp 2.5.1?

    2. Is there a way to export my form and import so that I don’t have to recreate it again? I’ve build it on a test server, but need to upload everything to a client site. It would be nice if I could export my form and import to new install of WordPress.

    Currently no. However I have been thinking about how to do this.

    Yes, I am using wp 2.5.1 and I’m able to save Options page and the Form options page. “Save Changes”on Form Widgets page is the only problem. I feel like it’s a memory or cache issue because it works with first couple of changes. Then it gets slower. Then finally it stops working. (Should I increase memory with ini_set(‘memory_limit’, ’12M’); ?? My programming skills are not great.) I’ve tried deleting the form and creating a new one-same thing. I’m just trying to set all of my Custom Fields to “required” but can’t get past the 2nd Custom Field before it stops working. Currently, I’m using these widgets:
    Text
    Upload Files
    Content
    Custom Fields 1
    Custom Fields 2
    Custom Fields 3
    Custom Fields 4
    Custom Fields 5
    Custom Fields 6
    Custom Fields 7
    Custom Fields 8
    Custom Fields 9

    Could we take this to the forum?

    You should give me a dump of tdomfinfo() (you can find the link on the main page of your TDOMF install).
