CSDb moved to a new server

Hi all.

This is just to inform you all that CSDb has been moved to a new (and better?) server just now.

Even though the transfer has been tested on beforehand, there are surely some mishaps, and if/when you find such, please report them here. :)

Thanks.
Perff

Sooo... In accordance with GDPR our avatars have vanished but I didn't expect we cannot add them ourselves anymore :( I am not afraid to show my pixelled mugshot and give clear consent :P

It's sad, but as pictures counts as personal information, the easy way was to wipe them. Maybe Perff can add some code later on to be able to add pictures on your own entry.

Yes, that was the idea that you can add some of this to your account, and that this will be shown on your associated scener profile.

@avatars that whole legislation's so bloody stupid imho, might keep some parasite lawyers busy but won't really hit antisocial media giants. for sure it goes on underground or private sites admins nerves a lot, but will not make any data any safer

PS: could it be it was faster yesterday and getting slower due to Eastern Europe copy-bots having adjusted? ;)

Still, great improvement

The termsandconditions.php page states:

3. How we share your information.
None of your information will ever be shared with any third party, except your login name, which will be visible next to any information you enter into CSDb.
while the cookies.php states:
Quote:
In regards to advertisement information about IP address can be shared with third party, in this case 'Google AdSense', unless you are using an Ad Blocker in your browser.

By using this site you accept the use of cookies and the sharing of information to third parties!
These two statements seem to contradict each other since an IP-address is considered personal identifiable information for many years already.

Also, is it possible to add a link to e.g. the bottom of the page (next to disclaimer) or perhaps in the 'help' section to the privacy statement/termsandconditions.php? This way people who are logged in can still find the link. At this moment I can only find this link when I am not logged in and click 'create an account'.

Tip: just use // instead of explicit schema and the browser will use the correct method

But that's just the anchor's text, the actual href is like 'download.php?id=something'. However, a bit ugly and should perhaps always be https.

Btw, I know this issue has been up before but Chrome won't let me download fex

Back from a busy weekend.
Will try to get around to all your questions:

- About download links still being http and not https, the actual link is https if you do a mouse over. (Not on the edit page however - see reason below)
The links shown are the ones entered in the database, and as they could be external links they are shown as they was entered.
Could do a search-replace throughout the DB and match on CSDb urls only, but I guess thats not a priority now, as all http requests to CSDb will now automatically be redirected to https.

- I'll go through the T&C text as sugested bu Mr Ammo. Thanks.

- The new server is a virtual of some kind. (Am a bit sceptic, but thats what everyone does now, right? :) )
CPU behind is 2x2.4GHz Hexa-Core E5-2620v3 Xeon, and enough SSD & RAM.
As you might know it's hosted by a company I used to work for, so have no direct influence on the hardware directly, but good service and fair pricing. :)

- About what Chrome will allow users to download, I'm not sure what I can do about it!? (That particular link dosn't work in my Chrome either)
