Hi all, @supermoon10 had let me know this week that there was a problem with Tea Trade. I’ve sorted that out and you can resume drinking your cuppas as normal!

Quite some time ago – not long after I migrated Tea Trade to its new server, @supermoon10 told me that Tea Trade wasn’t storing avatars when they were uploaded. I think I finally found the problem and fixed it. If you all still are having problems, reply here and let me know.

@lazyliteratus I also found a possible workaround solution for your domain name and blog. I tested it out with the old Leafbox tea site yesterday and it seems to work okay. I’ve implemented the same method on your domain name, but because of how the internet works it takes about 24 hours for domain name changes to fully take hold. I will know more…[Read more]

  Hey @peter, domain redirects seem to be working fine. “http” works fine for steep stories links, but not “https”, but that doesn’t bother me. All seems good so far.
  
  Thanks for your diligent work as always.

In addition to moving the site to the new server, I’ve also made a number of other changes to accelerate the speed of the network. Tea Trade itself, as a whole, has now doubled in speed. The blogs, in most cases, should be loading near instantly. The major exception is the ads. Once I get my next payout, which should take a few months I’m going to…[Read more]

@supermoon10 @xavier @lazyliteratus @iheartteas @thedevotea I wanted to let you all know that I’ve finished migrating Tea Trade to a new server. I’ll be taking the old one offline next week. This message is being written on the site on the new server.

Everything generally went smoothly. All the sites are working. Geoff, there are problems with…[Read more]

peter replied to the topic Create a new topic Error 404 in the forum Support and Feedback 8 years, 6 months ago

@bram this all should be fixed now. The Tea Forums link in the main menu, is intended to take you to the forums but it is displayed as a list of recent topics instead of the hierarchy of the different forum areas. That page is at http://teatra.de/forums/ I use the recent topics display as primary though because I think it is more meaningful.

peter replied to the topic Fresh teas directly from the gardens of Assam, Darjeeling and Nepal. in the forum Tea Conversations 8 years, 10 months ago

@himalayantealight I think I’d like to get tea fresh off the factory like that. That sounds like a rather special treat. How do you envision the buying and selling part of this? I assume that there would be pretty limited quantities available, but what about individual costs? Those shipping costs are reasonable, but what about the costs of the tea?

Wow, that’s really nice. Tea Trade has meant a lot to @jackie and I over the years. It is Tea Trade that formed the learning base that eventually grew into a nice consulting business for me. It’s always going to […]

Quite some time ago, I had closed off registration to new members for Tea Trade. I did this because I had little time to manage the site and the only registrations we were getting (mostly) were spammers. I spent far too much time dealing with spammers than I did with anything else.

Tea Trade has been around for about 5 years now, and it’s core…[Read more]

@lazyliteratus yeah, I’m sorry about that. The old server is still online, I might be able to go in and extract your posts but I’ll need to know what they are so I can find them. I’d be grabbing them from the database. I won’t have time to do it until this weekend at the earliest, so if you have them, it’ll be faster if you repost them.

Yes, @thed…[Read more]
