Welcome to the new imc uk site!

andi / ionnek (17.6.) | 16.06.2003 22:00 | Indymedia

IMC UK has changed to a new codebase (Mir). Welcome to the brand new site!
Users and moderators alike need to get used to the new code - please bear with us during this transition.
Click "Read more" for info on various browsers and instructions for publishing.
We had lots of feedback and hope you'll continue speaking up and getting involved by posting to the imc-uk list or the thread on Urban 75 [thread 1] [thread 2] Check our Documentation of the migration to Mir, the archives of the tech and features lists, and a summary of our working practices.
If you find any bugs please mail to the tech list - thanks!

we'll keep u posted

Why upgrading?
Imc-uk needed an upgrade, because the number of daily postings has gone up from five per day in September 2000 to 169 per day in June 2003, because lots of people had to be VERY patient trying to upload media files, and because a number of regional IMC groups are ready to maintain their own IMC pages.

Security certificate
When you publish your news, a window will pop up two or three times, and ask you to accept a security certificate. If you don't accept it, you won't be able to upload your reports.

If you use mozilla as a browser, you can tell it to accept and remember the certificate. Then you will be prompted one time less.

If you use explorer on a macintosh browser, you will need to click here instead of the bigger button.

Publishing
Once on the publish page, (this link for all others) you will be given some options that were not available in the old publishing interface:

Region this is optional. All postings appear automatically on the UK frontpage newswire. If you tick a region, your article will also appear in the local page you choose.

Topic this is optional too. All postings appear automatically on the UK frontpage newswire. If you tick one or two topics, for instance 'ecology' and 'migration', your article will in addition appear in the pages dedicated to 'ecology' and 'migration'. People who only want to read articles on these issues will see it.

Delays
We are currently regenerating all old articles including their comments, to make them appear in the new format and colour scheme. They are over 72,000, so this will take some time. Because of this massive activity, the server will be even slower than the old one and you will have to wait some minutes until your article appears in the newswire.

Until the complete 'transfer' of the 72,000 articles is finished, some links will redirect you to the old site, with its white on black colour scheme. Please bear with us and the techies helping us in this transition. See the first welcome message
