It amazes me how all the people who are on these boards and still playing the game hardly ever check out the Announcements forum at the very top

The announcement there was related to the update of the bbs.hitechcreations.com, which has been a while ago already.

There's still something weird. https://www1.hitechcreations.com/ redirects with downgrade to http://www.hitechcreations.com/index.php, which then upgrades again to https://www.hitechcreations.com/index.php.

It is not weird.  It is the time it takes for DNS changes to propagate, compounded by the aggressive caching some browsers do.  DNS changes can take up to a week to propagate.  More if your browser is really hanging on to that cached version.

The announcement actually related to all of HTC's servers: Main Website, BBS, Trainers website, AHWiki, etc...

Topic: Server Updates (http servers)

Today (September 11) we will be updating the WEB servers in order to migrate them to secure connections (https).  As such, there will be periods where the bulletin board and main WEB page will be up and down.

Here's one not DNS related:

https://www1.hitechcreations.com/ returns 200 and delivers a basically empty page with <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.hitechcreations.com/index.php">. Its freshly delivered, not cached. Might be from the wrong server if www1.hitechcreations.com isn't 199.101.50.180 of course.

The only error I see here is a redirect to a non-secure URL.  I'll check that.

What's with sysadmins these days?

Takes under a minute for you to grep all instances vs me going back through all pages and tons of http headers.

example:
grep --include="*.php" -nRHI "styles/cp.css" /home/user/public_html (you may include css and js files as well)

real world example on my server, looking for header.inc.php in all php files within public_html directory:
# grep --include="*.php" -nRHI "header.inc.php" /home/bighorn/public_html

/home/bighorn/public_html/profile.php:35:include(CLIENTINC_DIR.'header.inc.php');
/home/bighorn/public_html/account.php:120:include(CLIENTINC_DIR.'header.inc.php');

From login to nicely colored results in under 20 seconds. And I'm lousy typist.

I agree.  With a flat filesystem it is simple.  Not that simple with Joomla where there are no files to search.

I found where it was.  If someone happen to have the URL already it just helps to save time.
