Elysian Shadows

Hey all, My website is launching today! (11/06/12 at midnight! (GMT)), I would love for you all to be there for the grand opening!.

Address: http://www.dasocial.net

Seems very secretive.. I'll be sure to check it out when it goes public.

Great!

It's been set back a day..? Talk about a fail before it even starts.

To be honest, I don't have high hopes for this project as it seem a bit over ambitious. Nontheless, I wish you luck and will check it out if and when it's released.

Because it's just starting out, theres bound to be a few tedious things wrong with things. But I can assure you it will be up and running by tomorrow before 2PM (GMT)

But, to be honest it was a very annoying thing, I spent 5 hours this morning developing the privacy settings and getting them perfect, when stupid me... deleted the wrong folder which permanently deleted the 5 hours of code (I tried recovery but to no avail). I have learned my lesson, and this WILL NOT happen again. I give you my word, and lets be honest, haven't we all at some point deleted a file/folder we didn't intend to?

What is secretive about the website? I have a countdown type deal because today I have set-up the server ready to handle the(possible) traffic.

Been there, done that. It sucks. Are you using revision control for the source? If not, you should definitely consider it. Committing after each major feature is working might save you such a loss in the future. Even just a local repo works great, don't think that you have to push every commit to the live server. Use it as a temporary backup of sorts.

Yeah definitely, i've created a program to backup my code every 20 minutes now :D, il look into commits as well.

When I click the No Messages link on my profile page I get:

Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data

Did you repeatedly do this or just the once?. Also, if it was repeated, please tell me your email address (the beginning or a clue of what it is will do)

Edit: I have found the issue, it's because you have no friends basically, the current code is setup to expect you to have friends which obviously then gives an error which is what your seeing (the server just kills the connection when a page errors).
I have now got a page to show when it errors, but will fix the error in the next live server update.

Aw, that's gonna suck. Getting error because you don't have any friends.

Social networking at its best! No worries, everyone is a friend here at the Rift

Fixed, if you have no friends, it won't give you the messages link.
I thought I took care of the gliche, but then realised it was amongst the code that was deleted..

I have now upgraded the profile page to a less duller layout as well as changing the colour scheme.
You can also register with just a username without the use of an email.

I don't mean this to be mean, but I think you may lose out on users by limiting it to chrome and firefox browsers. WIndows users have IE out of the box and many people are too lazy to try to install a new browser (aka chrome or firefox.) Also you are cutting out many iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch users by not developing for Safari.
