Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Would switching to Postgres help at all, or is it more difficult to interface with PHP, or is the stuff you're running into unrelated to the stuff that Postgres does better than MySQL?
That's being investigated right now -- tommyrot's been working on it.
iStrata charges $400/month for a co-located box, vs. $99/month for the dedicated server we're using.
Finding a place that offers cheaper virtual dedicated servers might be another alternative. Board users might not like the slower board performance, but we wouldn't have to worry about getting booted again for using too much server horsepower and it should be a lot cheaper.
iStrata isn't offering those right now, but I think I've seen places that are.
It might be an idea to investigate that, but since tommyrot's getting along in the Postgres investigation, plus it has other benefits, I don't think we're in an either-or situation.
The USA map will be broken for a few minutes, while I install zoom. Please don't create or move pins until we're clear...
... and we're clear. The USA map is only one that zooms.
Now I want to move all the Chicago area pins to the right spots, but I realize that would be, well... crazy and obsessive, so I'm refraining.
Awww, now we know where Seamus is.

NovaChild, if you read back in this thread you'll probably get a pretty good idea of what technical issues have been and how they are being addressed. I'd try to nilly the specifics for you but I don't really know what most of this stuff means.
When I zoom the US map, it goes black, except for the midwest, where I get the counties. All the pins are still there, even in the black part.
Also, is there any way to make the control/submit box smaller? We're losing the lower part of Texas.
DX, I think I wacked the control box size problem. I could only reproduce it on Netscape. I can't reproduce the black-out problem. What OS are you seeing that on?
Mozilla on Win 98. It works fine here at work with Mozilla on XP.
Huh. The only mozilla I'm running is Firefox, on Win2K and Linux. Couldn't get a reproduction on either problem, on either platform. Ima stop chasing this, if you don't mind. Win98 seems to be the culprit.
Fine by me. I was wondering if others were seeing the same effect. As noted, I can zoom at work.
