UPDATED 01 JUNE - Site URL problems - please read [RESOLVED]
It has come to our attention that in some instances, the web address of this site (http://www.neocolours.me.uk) doesn't load the site but instead gives an error.
The bit you must read: For the next few weeks until we can sort this out, use http://www.neocolours.eu instead. Thank you for your patience, and apologies for the inconvenience. One thing to note: when you use that URL, you will need to login again to any parts of the site which require a login (the forum, Subeta ratings, the avatar system, etc) even if you are currently logged in on neocolours.me.uk.
This has been crossposted to the_nc community on Livejournal. If you have a Livejournal account and haven't joined yet, please do, because any announcements regarding problems accessing the site are always reposted there.
------------------------------------
More details for the technically inclined or terminally curious: Due to problems transferring the neocolours.me.uk domain from Kamil's ownership to mine, there will be a period where the DNS records for neocolours.me.uk will not resolve to the server's IP address, and our only option is to wait for the transfer to complete successfully. If you want to make your own HOSTS file entry and know what you're doing, then by all means go for it - the server IP is 216.98.141.250, and should not be changing before the DNS is fixed.
In the meantime, I've registered neocolours.eu and redirected it to the "internal" address of the website, so it'll always work in the interim. Neocolours.me.uk will only work when the DNS lookups have been cached (and will probably expire anyway). We expect the issues to be resolved in about 3 weeks, if you've any questions about the in the meantime feel free to contact either of us about it.
Thanks,
Jazzy and Miguel.

Re: Site URL problems - please read!
Is the "keep me logged in" option working for anyone? I keep getting logged out. The URL at the top of the page has "sid" (for session ID, I'm assuming) and a whole ton of numbers at the end -- is that supposed to be showing?
Re: Site URL problems - please read!
It's doing that to me as well. D:

Re: Site URL problems - please read!
This should now be fixed for people using neocolours.eu - let me know if it isn't.
This does, however, mean that anyone still using neocolours.me.uk is now likely to have this problem when you end up setting a new cookie (ie, if you log in again - right now, the option to stay logged in should keep you logged in fine until that cookie expires and you get logged out). Basically, I can only specify one URL as the default for cookies, and I've had to choose the redirect from neocolours.eu over neocolours.me.uk. If the domain you access the site from isn't the default, the cookies don't work properly, and phpBB can't keep you logged in.
I advise anyone to log out, delete board cookies (it's an option in the blue footer) and then log in again if they're still having problems with the new board URL and staying logged in.

Thanks, Jazzy! I was going to complain that I was having the same problem, but it appears that I'm not anymore

I missed this announcement, and had no idea where to find you guys. I was sad.
Thanks Adi for clearing up my confusion. XD I wish you luck in clearing up all the technical stuff that I do not understand. It is much appreciated!

Re: Site URL problems - please read!
By the way, if anyone notices any links which are broken because they lead to neocolours.me.uk places, would you tell me here, please? I've fixed a few, but no doubt I've missed some
Re: Site URL problems - please read!
The newposts link is .me.uk. Thanks for all the work you have put in!

Re: Site URL problems - please read!
Ooh, yeah. I saw that, meant to fix it, and didn't...
As an aside - the forum times and time-based alerts are all currently wrong owing to a server problem (it thinks all timezones are an hour later than they really are). I've emailed our hosts, so hopefully that'll be fixed soon.
eta: now fixed. Please post if you notice the times going out of sync again.

On the popularity stats page for Subeta, the link to the rating system still points to me.uk. (Thanks muchly for getting those timezones fixed!)

Fixed - I think that ought to be almost everything now, because I've done a search through my files and the only remaining one I can find is the links page.

Re: Site URL problems - please read!
I don't know if it's related, but although it loads, there are a string of errors listed when going to change the status of Subeta. I don't know if it's enough of a "problem" to warrant "fixing" though.
I replaced brackets with { } ... so here's an example:
{phpBB Debug} PHP Notice: in file /uptime.php on line 14: include(subetaheader.html) {function.include}: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
