We are receiving numerous reports of new registrations whose accounts are not being linked correctly. We are aware and are investigating.

If you have a problem, please post in the following thread:
Your Mania Exchange has not been linked.

- Do not send the moderators a message.
- Do not open new threads.

If you receive this message, please be patient and in a few hours your account should be linked correctly when we synchronize all logins.

This morning we are running some backups for the first time on the new server. This means that unlike a normal backup, we have to do every file (because its the first backup).

This information is just in case there is any adverse affect on site performance.

The MX Weekly Knock Out will be played as usual this weekend !
Everyone is invited to have some fun, but if you cant make it thats ok, its on every week !

And as always more tracks are needed.

Our server move is nearly done. Usually after moving servers there can be some teething issues, so if the sites go down again for a bit, don't worry, they will be back again soon.

Uploading
There was a brief period where I was unaware that files could not be uploaded. This has been resolved.



Thank you for returning to ManiaExchange

Here is advance warning that we expect to close down the mania-exchange site today, to enable us to archive the files and perform the migration. The TMX sites have already been closed and are in the process of being copied across.

Thank you for your patience and apologies for any inconvenience we may cause.

We are delighted to give the news, that we have just paid €1,293.84 EUR to our existing hosts for a new server on a 1 year contract. This means we have reduced our yearly costs by more than half without having to find a new provider. Of course, our new server is not in the same league as the one we will be leaving, but we are pretty sure it will be sufficent. Part of the reason we can do this is because while technology moves forward at a quick pace, our requirements have not.

In a years time, we will of course have to pay a similar amount of money, so please still consider donating to the site in order to provide for the future. We will in return continue to develop the rewards that we give to people who have donated.

Today is a good day for Mania Exchange and Trackmania Exchange.
Thank you to everyone who donated, you know who you are and so do we.


You may comment and ask questions in this thread on the forum.

Soon we will give news of the pending outage to the sites which will be needed in order for us to perform the data migrations. Please pay attention to any new front page news so that you know when to expect us be offline. We will of course try to make any downtime as short as we can.
