Articles Tagged "Site Announcements"

On March 21st 2008 CO2Sceptics.Com was born to serve people who have become sceptical concerning the dynamics of CO2 and world temperatures (world temperatures are falling whilst CO2 is still increasing!).

When we put our site together we wanted a name that "does what it says on the label". It makes no difference if you enter CO2 Sceptic(s) or Skeptic(s) into Google we are the top search, and so far over 1,000,000 of our pages have been viewed, and that number just keeps growing all the time, and that's thanks to you guys.

Whilst we openly admit we are the new kids on the block as far as IceCap and JunkScience are concerned, we are making a lot of new friends on the way.

In order to make this site as user friendly as we can, we have started to "Tag" all of our 1000+ articles for quick reference, and also the search facility has also been upgraded to a very high standard for you to use.

The work that has made this site as popular as it is and for it to keep up to date with news and publish new articles depends on the "free" time that we have, it would be a kind gesture to us if each of you showed your appreciation of donating just $2. So support the CO2 Sceptics website by making a donation towards site research, marketing, maintenance and administration.

Have a Happy Christmas to Each of you.

Just to let everyone know we have updated the Site Search to Google's latest Custom Search version, this means that results are now displayed 'on site' rather than in a separate Google window, this should give better continuity when searching CO2sceptics.

The site search is available on the top navigation bar of all pages.

We have created an official CO2sceptics Facebook group to make it easy for you to share CO2sceptics with your friends, this group is growing fast, please join and spread the CO2sceptics word.

Any feedback on CO2sceptics is always appreciated, please comment on this article or use the contact form to let us know your thoughts.

Today we have launched a light version of our website, better suited for use on mobile devices like mobile phones, PDA's and the iPhone... The mobile site offers just the news blog, without comments or tags, and has an accompanying Mobile News Blog RSS Feed.

We have implemented some site layout changes today, I hope the improved look of CO2 Sceptics is more eye and user friendly.

Please bear with us for any visual layout issues on Internet Explorer - we are aware of these and they are being worked on - Firefox or Safari are recommended.

Comment below on the changes.

This follows up our CO2Sceptics.Com break of service announcement.

Dear CO2Sceptics.Com

As you're aware, the main server which hosts cPanel, mail and also hosts the free accounts, was down over the weekend. We are currently being targeted with a denial of service attack originating from both China and Russia at the moment. I can assure you no data was lost or stolen as a result of this, but it did disrupt the availability of web sites and mail. We have just installed a new device designed to deal with these kinds of attacks and added an additional gigabit connection with a different ISP, which is currently working and should make it much more difficult for these kinds of attacks to bring down our servers.

I sincerely apologize that your site was one of the ones affected during this attack.

It has been brought to my attention that users could not delete or edit their comments sucessfully, this should be fixed now... If you are still having issues with this then contact me and let me know.

The new article tags and comments features are now live on the site, alongside a slightly tweaked news article layout. Hopefully all will work OK but if you have any problems please contact me and let me know.

Please bear with us while we tag older articles, currently only exclusive articles have been tagged.

By popular request CO2sceptics will soon be updated to add two new features.

New Features

• User Comments - you will be able to log in with your forum ID and post comments at the end of articles
• Article Tags - you will be able to view all articles tagged with a certain tags like "Exclusive"

This update will mean site downtime of less than a minute if all goes to plan, and should be implemented by the end of this week.

You may have noticed a few changes to the site today, the daily links page has been dropped due to virtually no use, and may be replaced in the near future with some static links if there is demand. This means the daily links RSS feed has been removed, on this subject please note that all the RSS feed URLs now end in .php (not .xml) due to server updates, the old RSS feed URLs will still work.

A new Contributors page has been added, this lists information on people who have contributed to this site, giving you an insight into the credentials of the people who have contributed to our news articles.

Also a News Archive page has been added, this allows you to view older news article headlines at a glance, by the date they were posted, if you are searching for a specific article please use the Google Search box as that only returns matches on this site.
