Florian,

Images and files may appear missing because the site is still caching. This could take up to a full day or more.

This maintenance was not for fixing bugs or addressing feature issues - and yes we are aware of the problems you listed above and are working towards solutions. We were simply upgrading to a faster server - which was supposed to take 30 minutes but our lovely friends at MediaTemple decided it should take much, much longer.

Thanks

Zara,
thanks for your reply!

Yes, maybe the – perceived, not really – long downtime raised false expectations.
;-)
Good to know that the missing images will reappear.
And a faster server? That’s great news! Thanks,
F

Thanks for the info Zara!

What's with messing with the URL structure? It appears that the /cms/ thing is perhaps a staging area? I hope so, because if you thought that your Google indexing was bad before, wait until your entire site is de-indexed. Automated 302 redirects are helpful, and if the move is permanent, full 301 redirects are essential.

As a side note, if the /cms/ change isn't a staging area for the server transfers, it's a poor URL design structure that does little to help the end user. A URL re-write could be used to make things more user, and SEO, friendly.

Just some thoughts, in any case. Take them for what you will.

Ricardo, what else is on your mind?

I can see a white bat, plus the beer and peanuts. Can you see it?

Joe, maybe I was being too subtle, but my image was not a comment on Typophile, or its URL structure.
