I think you misunderstood. What I said was You could urinate up a rope for service.

In other news, anyone with a sig I made that is pwnt by the nazi sig death machine, post here for a fix.

Thanks Mars! I have a rule against overwriting Ema's sig work, but I'll make an exception for the help. For anyone curious, the problem appears to be in the DNS A Record. Of course, I don't have access to fix it but I've put in a ticket with the engineer.

Now then, anyone seeking to fix a currently broken sig on my server should add the www subdomain to the url. The shiatty part of it is that inside my firewall it only works without the subdomain. Alternately, you could be like hijinks (whom I pwn at EVERYTHING) and host it yourself while leaking up that service rope. :D :D :D

Re: The comic - I've had that one sitting around for a while now, I just didn't post it because I didn't make a second round of corresponding posters for the other empires. I'll probably do a few more (unless I get in the beta and decide on a non-TR empire) as my outfit gets closer to recruiting time. The really cool thing is that I found a font that is going to work 1000% better than Comic Sans for the text.

BTW, for those with sigs hosted on my server, you can always use the IP address and ignore all the domain issues. Unless the server gets moved (which probably will happen some time in the next 3 months).

Until they fix things Airlift, you can enter a cname entry in your local HOSTS file.

www.orbitalstrike.com IN CNAME orbitalstrike.com

That should allow you to use the www inside your firewall and still point to the orbitalstrike.com address.

Thanks again Marsman. I'll try that tomorrow if the guy doesn't come in to fix our dns entries. And I'll have that sig done later this evening.
