More servers added

We have now added more servers to the server cluster which TSR v7 runs on, and together with some optimizations this should have improved the speed of the site. However, we still have more servers to add and more optimizations to implement, so we expect the speed of the site to improve considerably down the line. Stay tuned for updates on this.

Sims2pack and IE

The new file servers and Internet Explorer did not get along very well when it came to sims2pack downloads.

IE insists on trying to open them as XML files due to the xml header in the sims2pack files even though the web server said it was a binary file.

We have configured the web servers to force a download so sims2pack downloads in IE should be working again now!

View-post optimized

We had some performance problems for viewing posts (news, blog posts etc), we have done some optimizations in that area which should improve the load sopeeds, especially for posts with a lot of comments.

The Popple Legacy

hey everyone. thanks for reading my stories, i really appreciate it. so far, the popple family has been through a lot. natasha popple has gotten married to trent pederson and is now pregnant. i have some good news, and some bad news though. the BAD news is that i've decided to discontinue the story. i feel that it was drawn out too WAY too long, and honestly i'm tired of playing it. BUT!! the GOOD news, is that a new Legacy will be on TSR soon enough, this time with a quirky guy and some dialogue back and forth between me and my buddy. =) so thank you all tons for reading, and hopefully i'll be reading your comments on my new Legacy hopefully to come out in the next week or so.

Thanks much,
Angelina

Testing the new features of TSR

I am just about to click all over here and test the new site. I have mixed feelings sofar. A lot of things are not straightforward, and I am angry somewhat about the fact that my photos were deleted or left on the old server or whatever happened to them. The whole thing also seems to be very very very slow, but I hope it's because perhaps thousands of TSR users are heavily bombarding the site at the moment and also exploring the place. Funny, it's like investigation a new EP :)))

CHECK OUT MY POLL!

Hi all! As you may noticed, I've made a poll! ;DD So, let me know what you think about it!

Have a great day! (there will be more polls coming...)

YOU ARE GREAT ARTISTS truly and I THANK YOU for sharing your work....

the detail with which you have created these designs is magnificient. I am an artist who sells paintings on canvas...and I admire the care and dedication that it has taken to do what you do! Though I've not thank ed individually (my apologies).

I seem to have trouble with my computer and have had to wipe my harddrive clean 6 times in the past few months. I lose all your work and my fun....because I don't like to play without your custom content.

So, I need a decent computer that can accomodate your work.
