Search Not Working. Again.

[Kaveman]

Same Same.

Really wish we could post pics, I have a few good ones.

 

[Burnham]

If you are wanting to look for something, it seems the search is back online again. No bets on for how long .

 

[Burnham]

Tonight, the site is slower than bar oil in winter. Search is out again.

 

[Maximalist]

The site was unavailable for several hours this morning🙁

But now the site is working better. Photos are uploaded very quickly.

 

[Maximalist]

Interesting news!😀 After this morning's crash, you can upload photos as before! I am waiting for your most interesting photos!😀 P.S. Thank you, Carl! 😀👍🤝 The site is more alive than dead!

Thank you @Brandon !

I’d be willing to pitch in some $ for maint…

Sorry for my negligence. In looking at this issue the mitigation turned into me fast-tracking my plan to migrate the site to a whole new server.

The search woes should be completely resolved (though I suppose time will ultimately tell), and I have monitoring in place to proactively let me know if another image-upload problem is approaching (storage volume ran out of space, another negligent oversight on my part).

There were several major changes rolled into one overnight migration, so if anything is askew, let me know. I checked most typical site interactions but there’s a chance something may have become broken.

EDIT: oh, I do know of an issue with emails being sent from the forum. This has been broken for some time already and I know what needs to be done, I just need the time. This mostly impacts new members who register, as they’ll be unable to confirm their account (or if you forget your password, you’ll be unable to reset it yourself). I will look through new registrations and manually confirm any non-spammer who appears stuck in purgatory.

 

[Burnham]

Great news, @Brandon. We all appreciate your efforts.

 

[Burnham]

@Brandon it is a minor thing, but since you asked for feedback I noticed that when posting several pics at one time, the site would not do them all at full size at once. I could designate full size one at a time on the loading page, and that worked fine.

And the Like images are very basic, what happened?

You mean these?


The forum software developers decided to switch to device-native emojis rather than bespoke ones, so they should match the emoji style of whatever device you’re browsing on

I’ll look into it, this isn’t a transaction I’ve tested extensively.

 

[Nutball]

Ok, I guess that's why I have ancient emojis on my perfectly fine sufficiently modern Win 7 computer.

 

[Burnham]

As do I, @Nutball . Running the same os.

Howz about a large round of applause for our Boy @Brandon getting the House back up to snuff!!!!

This should be fixed now, outgoing emails work again.

So it seems to me that I can't use the "attach files" paperclip box but I can use the drop images box in the tool bar.

 

[flushcut]

It worked fro a bit now not so much.

 

[davidwyby]

if I type in the web address I get this

If I follow a link to a previous visit from history it works



On my desktop sometimes I’ll click on a pic to view or something and it will say I have to be logged in to do that even though I was…it will boot me out but if I pull up a previous link I’m back in

 

[CurSedVoyce]

My tool bar doesnt work

 

[flushcut]
