NAS-Central & Foonas Weblog

It is now possible to use SnapGear firmware on MRT Communications Dual HDD NAS, more information in this post at the MRT wiki.

Following this poll it is clear that the majority wants the buffalo forum to be integrated with buffalo.nas-central.org and not moved away again from nas-central.org. The forum currently just is in the wrong place at forum.nas-central.org (same for the downloads), the forum is no general forum for nas-central.org (which possibly is needed later for linking subwiki authentication together). Thats why this is happening on the 25 February 2008.

Start: 1600 UTC

End: 2100 UTC

Notice that login in all the subwikis is affected as authentication of all subwikis (except the buffalo one) is linked to the forum database.

EDIT: Forum + downloadsection moved successfully.

Unfortunately it took longer than expected but everything now works again. See this thread for more info.
