www.elviscostello.info... Whatever happened to...?
Hi, folks
I have been outside this forum for a long time as a "poster" but reading your comments quite often, anyway.
Now I´m back ´cause the fact is that I have tried to enter -once and again, for several days..- at http://www.elviscostello.info and... no way!!
Could anybody tell if the page is definitely out of order? (I hope it´s not, ´cause it always seemed a great site to me...) Does anybody know whatever happened to the site, if so?
Thanx a lot everyone (And yes, I guess you´ve probably mentioned this topic before... but I´m afraid that trying to search for it within this forum has been my second exhausting attempt tonight, after the first one with the probably-extinguished site...)

Adding just to say that I actually read the site had been "hijacked" ( http://www.elviscostellofans.com/phpBB2 ... php?t=5715 ), but no news about further events.
Now it doesn´t work.
Definitely out of order?

The wiki site address is
http://www.elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
but it doesn't appear to be working at the moment (a bit like myself in fact )

there are some issues with it but do not fear, it will be back shortly. The server that used to host the site was hacked, and the people that ran that server weren't very helpful in fixing things, so the whole site has now been transferred to a much better place. Don't worry, nothing has been lost. There should be an announcement once it's all good to goKing_of_Spain wrote:Thank you very much for all the information given.
I really loved that site (the first one I knew about EC, actually) and I wouldn´t like to lose it.
Expecting news, therefore...

that's an absolutely brilliant site, so it is. didn't it go down for a while about two years back as well? Fortunately back then I used only use it for its chords section, and sure that tends not to change too often anyway... if it did, i'd be a bit confused!

elviscostello.info is brilliant and chock full of content. In moving it, we have learned that it is either the top site or in the first two pages when searching for images from Simpsons, Sopranos, Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, and Led Zeppelin. The content in the site is that deep.
It's slowly getting back online. The domain name is alive with nearly all of the old content. We are tuning things and trying to resolve issues
There were a few days during the transition where neither site was online and a few more where the new server got swamped. It is holding up better now but there is more tuning to do.

http://www.elviscostello.info should be up and OK now. It is now hosted on the same computer as the board.
I really hope that the EC community can use both the Board and the Wiki to their best effect. You can upload concert pics, tickets, etc to the Wiki and link to them from here. We can use the Board to discuss set lists, upcoming events, etc. and hopefully correct set lists and appearances will end up on the Wiki's gigography.

Thanks. Let's just hope it stays up.invisible Pole wrote:It is up and ok now.
Thank you so much, Doc, for all your hard work !!
The neat thing about Wiki's is that it is a community open editable site. I hope that we can all help get the Wiki populated. For example, JohnE has 100s of pictures that need to be properly linked into the various pages. We have been bulk importing concert pictures and trying to link them in to a per concert page with the set list, ticket stub, photos, etc.
So if you have some spare time and want to contribute, JohnE can certainly point you to something that needs to be done.
