Sorry for the slight downtime today, but I’ve had to move CodeGrrl to a new server once again. We’ve outgrown DreamHost’s shared package, and I am currently unable to afford upgrading to one of their $400 a month dedicated servers. Thanks to Vixx and Maja, we have a lovely new home on one of Maja’s servers. I think this is everything back up and running, but it’s getting quite late here and I’m tired, so if you spot any errors I missed (and I’m sure there are some!!) please let us know!
Thanks, and apologies once again for the downtime!

Just to let everyone know, I have moved CodeGrrl to a new server tonight. We are now hosted by Dreamhost. Over the past 6 months or so, visitors have been increasing steadily, and the old server just wasn’t coping with the load from the forums very well anymore.
The move went pretty smoothly, I am just now fixing the last few bugs in the forums. The MySQL database I moved over was 88MB in size - the vast majority of it caused by the forums! Anyway, I think everything is pretty much back up and running, but please let me know if you spot any errors anywhere.
Hopefully our new location will provide us with faster page loading and less downtime!

What happened to Flinx, PHPFanBase, PHPCalendar, PHPCurrently, etc?
What happened to Flinx/PHPFanBase/PHPCalendar/PHPCurrently and other scripts you used to offer? I can’t find them in the Scripts section anymore! Where can I download it? Can you email it to me?
Several CodeGrrl scripts, including PHPFanBase, Flinx, Flinx Collective, FA-PHPHosting, sflinks, PHPAffili8, PHPCurrently, PHPCalendar, PHPClique, and PHPQuotes, have been taken down off CodeGrrl temporarily. We have decided to take this action after we were made aware of several security risks with these scripts. In a worst-case scenario, having them installed could lead to your site being hacked.
Obviously, we are horrified by this as the last thing we want is to endanger the sites of our visitors! So we have taken the scripts offline while we are working hard to secure them. They will be available here again once we are sure the security problems have been fixed.
No, we will not email the old version to you in the mean time. It is insecure and we do not recommend you use it at this time. Please be patient and keep an eye on the Updates blog - we’ll post there when the scripts are back online!

Where did you get the little icons that are used all over the site?
I got them from FamFamFam, they’re part of a set called Silk Icons. This awesome set is free for non-commercial use, and I really love it. There literally is an icon for everything!

We have been notified of some additional security issues with several of the scripts available here. We are unsure at the moment where these issues lie and how to fix them, so we have taken all scripts offline until we can fix this. Apologies for any inconvenience. :/
