State of the Union

Well, it’s been a while hasn’t it, website? 2019, the year this page finally sees an update. Only after, what? 3 years or so?

So what’s new? Who cares – there’s more important things to be talking about. Firstly, this site will soon instead be fronted by a static page linking to all the sites hosted on the TigerTails Entertainment Network. All the social medias and things will also be linked to, because that’s useful.

Secondly, there will be an effort made to try to get the sites up to date. Hence why this post is existing before the static page thing happens. TigerTails Radio always needs updating, TigerTails Gaming needs some content, and newcomer PupAllTheStations is an ever growing behemoth. All the station blog posts are done, and now it’s just the rest of the social media submissions that need adding.

Thirdly, and this might be obvious by now, the Done and Dusted blog has officially been retired. It’s been hard enough getting together bits for Done and Dusted during TigerTails Radio, and there wasn’t enough content for a blog about it. On the off-chance there’s another post, it’ll be on the TTR site.

And that’s about it. The only time the front page will be update will be with important news – which should be rare. This post will be left here for a little while for folk to stumble upon, before the static page goes live.

Until then, Happy New Year everyone.

More Problems

Now that TigerTails Radio has finished for Season 10, things can be worked on to fix some of the technical issues that has hit the website here, and elsewhere.

This is mostly caused by more domain issues. Plusnet are useless. After shutting down their domain registration arm, they then decided to ignore our requests to transfer to a different host. This resulted in the domains being moved to somewhere random, instead of the registrar they had claimed they were moving to. We are now on a mission with Nominet to reclaim the domains and move them to the correct host. During this time, the .co.uk address for TigerTails Radio and TigerTails Gaming have once again broken. so in the meantime you can reach TigerTails Radio and TigerTails Gaming at the following URLs:
http://radio.tigertails.co.uk/site/ – TigerTails Radio
http://tigertails.co.uk/tigertailsgaming/ – TigerTails Gaming

Website updates will be sketchy at best during this time, as visitors to this page will have come to expect. However, things are in the plans to be done in 2018. Exciting times ahead.

Problems

Yey, technical difficulties are so much fun. Especially when they’re the fault of someone else.

Having recently renewed the domains for TigerTails Radio and TigerTails Gaming, we’ve fallen foul of a problem our domain provider is having with URL forwarding, which hides the ugly tigertails.co.uk/whatever/ name and gives it the pretty tigertailsradio.co.uk or tigertailsgaming.co.uk that we’re all used to.

So, while the outage happens, you can reach TigerTails Radio and TigerTails Gaming at the following URLs:
http://radio.tigertails.co.uk/site/ – TigerTails Radio
http://tigertails.co.uk/tigertailsgaming/ – TigerTails Gaming

While the main .co.uk addresses might be down, the websites are not. Yet.

Oh, and if anyone is thinking about getting anything with Plusnet… Don’t.

Edit:
All sites are back up and running as per normal. Whooo! Use the links on the right to go visit them.

A New Home

With one web host dead, another one comes along. The downside of this is there was no easy way to migrate the WordPress build from the old host to the new one. So, transition period time. So far, this is the only site on the TigerTails Entertainment network that will be working for a short time. TigerTails Radio will go live next, followed by TigerTails Gaming, and then Done and Dusted.

The new hosting company does not support Networked WordPress as the previous host did. The upside of this is the ability to have subdomains. The downside is every site will become its own site, and no resources can be shared. This is a bother as TigerTails Radio and TigerTails Gaming shared certain social plugins.

So, progress is happening. Not all that fast as this is a lot of work, but it is happening. Watch this space.

Updates and Things

Yes I know updates to this site have been lax. We’re working on it.

In the meantime, why not pop over to the TigerTails Gaming page, where Xavier has been posting regular footage from his Lets Play adventures, and more of the Team TigerTails’ Adventures in Minecraft have been uploaded.

Over in TigerTails Radio land, the weekly show is still ongoing, and is soon to turn 9 years old!

New videos from TigerTails TV will be shown here in the near future! Promise.
