Renewed expired SSL certificate (forgot to put it in my calendar -.-). You do know https://arcomage.net works, right?

Fixed DNS record for arcomage.net after discovering issues with mail delivery from startcom's weird server setup. I was suggested to replace the CNAME record for the root domain with a direct A ip address record, which I did. Among other things, this was overriding the name server list for our domain, which might have been the cause for ?location=Forum_thread&current_thread=2250&thread_current_page=1 (no evidence though). Now waiting for the old records to expire from cache.
