Running Maintenance Has Concluded

[Tefka]

There's still a few issues but most seem to be wrapped up. Here's a list:

1. [SIZE=10.5pt]Spoiler BB Codes with titles are now fixed.[/SIZE]
2. [SIZE=10.5pt]Memory exhaustion errors upon certain profiles (displaying a blank, white screen when viewing the board index) seems to be resolved, or at least temporarily delayed.[/SIZE]
3. [SIZE=10.5pt]Reputation counts restored.[/SIZE]
4. [SIZE=10.5pt]Other minor Site Improvements have been implemented to help ease the load of the website.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]We're losing a few things until I feel comfortable we can bring them back, if I decide we even need them:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]1. Google Search from the Forum has been removed.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]2. Members visited in the last 24 hours has been removed.[/SIZE]

Here's a list of concerns:

1. You may experience a slight delay in loading pages. The server is rebuilding it's cache, and depending on your DNS propagation, it may take some time for it to serve cached pages to you. This will increase the speed of the website. If you experience serious drag, back out of the page and go back into it. Lazy loader should pick you up, hopefully.

2. There may be some other issues we didn't catch during this maintenance that should be alerted to Staff. I'm aware of the Mentions problem, they've always been a problem. It's just a very poorly written mod, but it's one this community depends heavily upon. I suggest making use of the "Follow Thread" functionality when possible, preferably in small, low traffic threads.

Let me know if there's any other concerns, this update seems to have... shifted things around a bit and I'm playing catchup/whackamole.

1. Google Search from the Forum has been removed.

Does this mean that we can't search the forum for a particular thread, etc. or simply that it isn't powered by Google anymore?

Otherwise, nothing seems to have really... changed. Minor bugfixes are always appreciated, and if you improved performance then GREAT! Performance makes the little wannabe-engineer in me go mwahahahahahahaaaaa.

I thought I'd post this reaction for Tefka and those involved. Thanks for the work guys, we appreciate it.

where it says search google is removed. We can still search the forum and members and such.

2. Members visited in the last 24 hours has been removed.

This is good...The members visited in the last 30 minutes really is more than enough.

[member="Tefka"] Sorry for jinxing you, I shouldn't have opened my mouth about you finally having some time to write again.

Google search is actually how I found this forum

I think he means the in-site one. (The search bar at the top of the forum) it's back on just Forum Search.

For once I'm glad I missed out on stuff due to timezones.

Great work, Teffers!

Good... good...

I'm just glad it was a little bump in the road and nothing else.

I know it's nothing new but the @ mention system seems even more buggy than usual to me not a big deal but just a heads up

 

[Vereaux]

Alright, I found something that might be an issue, I think, and it's dealing with the mention system.

If you use the "at" system symbol and state the person's name, it works just fine, at least for me. However, after using the symbol and posting, the text is converted into "member=name", and I imagine it's designed to do this so that if the post is edited, it doesn't re-mention the person by accident. However, while the code "member=name" will give a link to the person's profile, it is not connected to the mention system. I bring this up because I've noticed in a search for my character's name, there were several campaign/dominion/skirmish threads, that I never knew existed, where my character Sorin was listed as being "mentioned", but I do not have any notifications about them anywhere. I don't know how these were originally posted, but I have a suspicion all the posters copied and pasted everything while it was listed as "member=name".

I thought this would be useful information for everyone, especially the people who post these, because I think that might be why people aren't being mentioned. It's the best explanation I've found so far at least.

There seems to be an issue with the text editor when it comes to posting images.

Doesn't seem to work for me. I'm not certain as to whether or not I was supposed to laugh at that or become subsequently annoyed. I'll go with the former.

I've been noticing some minor issues with the site, is everything alright? Really slow, unable to shift between character accounts, it might be my connection but these things haven't ever happened to me before.

[member="Tefka"] I have been having issues when trying to refresh forum pages. I get a white screen. A second refresh usually takes care of it. This has been happening for the last few days and still does.
