Updates for Candybar 5 - Layer feature
I wanted to help clear up misconceptions about what I will release for candybar5.

It will NOT be new images, I will be cleaning up the interface to make it more functional.
Combining all features I ever had from candybar 1..4 plus a few more.

The Layered avatar feature:
---------------------------

The problem to solve:
---------------------
Sometimes one could not tell which image belonged to what tab. Was this clown's nose in the nose tab, accessory tab, makeup tab or another tab?
By deleting layers you lose what you had currently selected, with no way to retrieve it.

The solution:
-------------
The images are opened up like a deck of cards that you can selectively delete.
The flow
1. Select the layer button
2. Delete the layer you dont want
3. The doll now has the right layer removed

1. 2. 3.


Also note: the images themselves are half the size of the original doll image layers. Makes the navigation of all layers much simpler.

Any comments let me know.
I will be releasing a post a day about candybar5 until its released. Will keep you guys posted.

I love this dollmaker. It is so magical. =) It is absolutely the best dollmaker on the web and I recommend it to everyone. Sadly, it appears to have been down since yesterday. =(

Is it back up again?
I see it is fine.

I have a memory leak with candybar 4.
I will soon have to shut down that page and divert it all to candybar 5
That is why I have been working like crazy to get the new version done

The only thing that could be happening the DNS setting is cached.
Because elouai.com is up.

To confirm if that is the problem try linking directly to the server with the IP address
http://74.86.124.83/

Let me know if that works.

Can you try accessing it by the IP address

http://74.86.124.83/

The site has always been up, maybe your local ISP provider has an old DNS setting

please let me know if you can reach the site by going through the IP address

Sorry, I still can't get through. I refreshed my own cache, but no dice. Looks like it's my ISP's problem maybe?

So even with the IP address you cannot reach the site?

That would mean somewhere a link is broken
Maybe some network is down, but the traffic numbers are almost the same as yesterday, so it does not seem to be a major outage more like a local one.

Where are you located and which ISP do you use?
Call them up, they may be able to tell you exactly.

thanks

Thank so much for taking the time to answer my questions. I'll call my ISP and see what's up with them, things have been slow for the past few days, so maybe it is just some local outage somewhere.

the problem has now been fixed.
When the IP was modified the link to images.elouai.com got cleared, so now that was fixed.
Thank you for letting me know the problem
