It looks like the domains have been fully transfered to the new DNS servers and we are fully functional on the new server. Let me know if anyone sees anything wrong.
As a few side notes. I've implemented a few more security measures for our authentication system. Basically, this will require that your IP address show up as an authenticated IP address when you try to access the domains. In order for your IP address to become authenticated, you'll have to log into the domain. Once you log in, your IP address will go into a database where we'll be able to track which ones you have logged in from. If you have cookies turned on, this IP address will get attached to the cookie so that cookie will only be valid for that IP address.
If you decide to log out when you are on a computer, that entire IP address will become invalid for your account. You will need to re-login in order for it to become valid again.
I appologize to those of you with dynamic IP addresses as you won't be able to use cookies for the time being (that's only if your IP address changes). Don't worry though. I'll create an option in the member preferences section that will allow you to turn off this level of security on your account. At certain administration levels, this won't be an option to turn off. Keep in mind, if this option is turned off, then your account is potentially open to security holes. -----------------------

As another note, if you have email at one of the VE domains, you can go to the following url to modify your user account:
http://vastempire.com/user/
If you have an email address at something other than vastempire.com, then when you are logging in, make sure to use that domain instead.
This section also has spam filtering capabilities. You'll be able to set your level of spam filtering as well as what to do with spam. -----------------------

I take it that not many are having authentication problems. Unless there are people having some problems, I won't prioritize this change to put in an option for a lesser security model for those people who have dynamic IP addresses. -----------------------

I have the Cookies set to ON in Preferences, but I still have to type in my callsign/password.
On the roster, when you click to view the profile of someone, the "(...)" link within the Salary line does not work.

I unfortunately have the same problem as Cosmic. After the server change I had to keep to typing in my nick and pass everytime I try to access sites the comnet and the roster.
It seems that the cookies were turned off during the server transfer. I turned it back on again at the preferences page but the site still keeps logging me out.
