All of our websites and forums are now running off the new server. I had to remove a number of features, particularly from iGTA and iRedDead's front end websites but they should all be working and running a lot faster than they were before. Let me know if you spot any issues. Thanks for your patience.

Hi all, As you may have noticed, I've been away for awhile but I'm in the process of moving all of the websites over to a new (much faster) web server. I'm moving them over one-by-one as they all need a little bit of an update to ensure they work on more modern software but so far https://www.gta-sanandreas.com is up and running on the new server. I'll probably do GTA4.TV next, then iGTA and iRedDead before finishing up with iGTA5.com. I hope to have everything moved across by the end of October, then I will be working on making some improvements before eventually redeveloping some of the websites. Let me know if you spot any issues during the next few weeks. Please be aware that I will not be copying the old forums across (old GTA-SA / iGTA forums - http://www.igrandtheftauto.com/forums/index.php?) because there are gigabytes worth of old uploaded files which are just wasting resources on the server and also it's a potential security issue, so if there's anything in particular you want to save from there, do that before the end of the month. Cheers.

Well you can press the Share button on your controller to take a screenshot (obviously). You can then copy the screenshots from the PS4 onto a USB memory stick. Plug that into your computer and you can upload the screenshots from there. If you have a lot I can give you an FTP account to upload them to which will make it easier for me to grab them. Also what I've been trying to do to make the screenshots look good is: Turn the brightness all of the way up in the game's display settings. Use the cheat to freeze the time at midnight. Die, so that the time is now frozen at 12:00 mid-day. Take screenshots of stuff while it's bright and light. If you want to try and take screenshots of each vehicle that would be useful for me, otherwise just take random screenshots of the missions as you're playing through them. Here's an example screenshot (plus the formatting I intend to use).

If anyone is playing through GTA San Andreas on PS4, would you mind taking some screenshots from missions and stuff? I'm working on redeveloping the GTA-SanAndreas.com website and I want to update all of the screenshots on the site with some higher res ones. I've already captured images for all of the collectables (Tags, Oysters, Snapshots and Horseshoes) and plenty of the first few missions, but anything you can provide might be a big help and save me from having to do it all myself. Cheers!

I can make any additional changes by editing the custom stylesheet. If people provide me with a screenshot of stuff that looks dodgy I can manually override it in the custom CSS.

The forums use a responsive template now. That basically means it scales to fit your device width. Lots of sites do that now as it's much easier to maintain as you only have one website and template to look after. It does mean that you are forced into seeing the mobile view on a mobile though but generally that's a good thing. I'll be rebuilding the front end sites to work in the same way. That said, there shouldn't be issues where buttons don't work so we'll have to look into that.

Most of the ads are based on things you've been looking at.

I don't get paid straight away. I get it in like a month depending on whether I've crossed the threshold of earnings for the month I think.

Invision removed the old Status Update thing and replaced it with this new one. Someone has made a plugin to add back the old functionality but it's $10 a year. I wouldn't mind paying for it but I've just spent the best part of $300 on the server, forum licenses and various other website related tools and software. If all of you go to GTA-SanAndreas.com and click one of the google ads each day then you might make me enough money to buy the plugin. Otherwise I could look at doing it myself but I'd rather not modify the forums if possible because it just makes it a total pain when we have to upgrade again in a month or two and re-create all of the mods.

All done. There will be various tweaks we need to make going forward so please be patient, but everything should be working now.
