Just to say that I am aware of the problem with the website giving an error at the moment (20 July). I think there was a problem with the DNS forwarding which has hopefully been resolved even if it is taking a while to propagate out. *-)

One of the great things about having the Forum hosted by Willowsheart is that it is on a different server, so it is still possible to exchange information about the program at times like this. It makes good sense to have a link here in your favourites list directly, rather than relying on following the link on orphalese.net which might not always be available ;-)

Is there an estimated time as to when the site will be back up?

Hi Nefret,

It turns out that there was a problem with the configuration of the new server, which has now been fixed. Things are still not 100%, because you can't access the OTZ via the program. But if you navigate to http://www.orphalese.net with an ordinary browser you can download the new version of the program, and the P2P File Exchange should be operational.

There are several decks there already because I ftp'ed all the cached decks from the old server, as well as uploading some of my own.

Cheers,
Richard

Yes, I am really sorry about this and feeling quite frustrated. It was working for a few hours this afternoon but now it has gone off line again and is giving that error. Part of the problem is that the domain is registered with one company and the website hosted with another, so it is hard to work out where the problem is. The sooner I can bring it all under one roof the better. There is a further complication in that people who have the domain neither pick up the phone or respond to emails.

As far as the website goes, all I can suggest is to keep logging in from time to time and see if it is available. To get back to sharing decks on the exchange, here is a direct link to the new version: http://79.171.34.43/horizons/downloads/tarotsetup.zip

I just got a support email saying they have identified the problem and the change should propagate out within five hours, so let's hope...

Hi cromagnon here; I have been having problems with exchange as well. To make matters worse I have just changed my AV solution and the old app trashed my system on uninstalation so I have had to do a total reload. I would be very grateful for an unlock code.

Many thanks in advance:

cromagnon.
