.Re: Ranking Graphics Mod download
I went to PunBB Resource to check if it was there, but lo and behold, it's down again. Cactuz and bamsefar, what are you doing?

Re: Ranking Graphics Mod download
Actually it was never on PunRes. I didn't update it after version 1.01 because nobody really seems interested. I will put a copy on a new link and email Maciek (he has already emailed me).
Forget the email. You can get it here

Off topic but related. Do you think it would be a good idea to have a backup file store. Not a rival to Pun Resource but just an alternative download source. A simple page with a very brief description of the file and then a link. I could even register a domain e.g. punbbfiles.co.uk it it's a help.

Yes, that sounds like a good idea. The only problem I can see with that approach is that someone has to make sure that the mirror is updated all the time.

Re: Ranking Graphics Mod download
Rickard: one way of doing it would be to set up an online file manager and give the relevant people admin access that way at least it's a collaberative effort.
Re: Ranking Graphics Mod download
You could use something like rsync to keep a perfect mirror at all times, this requires a bit more server privileges than some webhost provide though.
On a related (but still off-topic) note, what happens when the punbb.org server goes down? Maybe some kind of back-up for that (at least the front page, downloads etc.) would be nice to have?

Yes, rsync is nice.

I agree. I do make daily backups of the whole site and if the server were to fail now, I can throw up a mirror site on the sweclockers.com server in a few hours. Not sure that is enough though.

Re: Ranking Graphics Mod download
Basically what I'm saying is I've got spare space on a commercial server and am quite willing to give the required level of access to Rickard and Cactuz if somebody can come up with a good idea. If you can find out what priviliges rsync requires let me know.
Re: Ranking Graphics Mod download
Well.. I don't really know what bamsefar is doing for the moment (he's hard to contact). I will change server, but theres at least 2 month to that. I hope you guys can wait that long. It's online most of the time at least.
But if anyone got any good suggestions on what to do until then, I'd happy to share them :)

I have set up a subdomain http://www.punres.post21.co.uk with ftp access and one mysql database. Its yours if you want somewhere to park punres. If you want it let me know and I will email you the ftp login etc.

The problem is that PunRes is connected to Cactuz Network which means that it requires much more work to move and databases.
Re: Ranking Graphics Mod download
Well I wouldn't object to you moving the whole thing until you get a new server organised but I suspect that it might be a lot of work for something temporary.
As a quick alternative what about at least uploading the mod files and then posting the links in a thread on this board.
Re: Ranking Graphics Mod download
Yeah, but that means I'll have to get access to the server first, which is down. But hopefully it will work later or tomorrow, and I can take a look at it then.

Re: Ranking Graphics Mod download
Understood. I will email you the ftp details anyway. It's there if you want/need to use it.
