Title: Site Outage / Mods
Post by: wolf39us on March 02, 2020, 12:44:23 PM
Hey guys!


This morning for whatever reason, the site went down without warning.  I'm not exactly certain what happened here as none of the admins have made changes.  We suspect it was related to something with our host.

In any case, I was able to bring things back online, but modifications were unfortunately sacrificed in the process.

I'd like to keep the feature mods to a minimum, and so I'd like to ask the community which ones I should be bringing back.  If there's any feature that was there before that you are missing, post it here!


Thanks,

Bring back cake.

Seriously, didn't there used to be a youtube or video selection for posts?

Right now, all add-ons are removed as the site had to be rebuilt. Please make a list of add-ons / features that you wish to have so we can manually re-add them.

Bring back whatever user filters we were using. I just rejected 36 new registrations all from this afternoon. Normally I only do a handful most days.

My bookmark doesn't direct so I had to make new one. Also the YouTube thing doesn't work so it was an add on wasn't it?

Sorry bud, I've added the filter back.

There's an issue with redirects at the moment.  I will be correcting that shortly

I'd 'like' Munch, here, but can't.  So, let me echo his 'good job'!!

I really enjoyed the 'like" feature since you could silently show agreement with someone. So please bring that back if it's not too much trouble.

Also, avatar uploads seem to be broken. I'm using "specify by URL" for the moment.

Can't get a secure connection to the site now. Using the HTTPS address loads an incomplete page, and clicking any link brings you to the unsecured version.

The feature that shrinks down super large images.  Cause otherwise, image-heavy threads practically annihilate memory.  :'(

Not sure if this is the place to mention it, but I can't see my avatar.
So I decided to upload a new one. First few times I couldn't upload it. Went with a link, which might've worked, but I still can't see it.

Just me or can nobody see mine?

Your revised avatar is a very fastidious bug.

My avatar is still down, will try uploading old one when I get home later today.  Traveling.

Auto image resizing would be nice. A lot of the existing images on the site are now bigger than my laptop screen.

Got it.  Most likely a permission issue.

I haven't seen any new member requests since 6ish this morning. So unless someone else went in and cleaned them up since then it looks like the filter is working now.
