Real men test in production 👌

 

[reb]

Every team has both a testing environment and a production environment.

 

Some are lucky enough for them to be separate.

@Split_Pin / @danthecapriman / @bunglebus / @Zelandeth / others who frequent shite in miniature, have you seen any 502 errors since Monday?

Nothing yet from me. 
Everything seems to be behaving normally.

Whatever you did…👍

Nope. Only ongoing thing I've seen has been the stubborn insistence on it jumping to the bottom of new pages rather than the top.

Everyone has lost their rank badge (I think?) 

Placeholder icon for pictures on everyone's profile pic. The separate 'staff' logos are unaffected.

That's weird. Appears to be fine on the default (blue) theme and that's the one I usually use so haven't noticed. But for some reason that image has disappeared for the beige theme. I'll see if I can have a look at fixing the theme later this/next week.

[SiC]

Probably not a lot I can do about it as it's part of the forum software and the quirks of it. Filed in the same category of "this text editor is a pile of wank and Invision Power Board insist that we use it without providing any other options".

Yep.  It's doing it about 95% of the time for me when I click next in any thread now.  That's across several platforms.

[High Jetter]

It's only occasionally for me, usually on pic heavy threads like ebay or tarts n carts. PC & mobile

[bunglebus]

Getting various errors, especially trying to access the Shite in Miniature thread

and notifications

And even uploading these pics

[SEATMad]

Getting the same with the ebay tat thread. We're running very slow on all threads. 

[Datsuncog]

Same here. No access to Miniature thread; eBay thread the same and no uploads. 'Bad Gateway 502' seems the most common error code for me too.

[bunglebus]

Don't know why I've got the same pic twice - it's only uploaded once and it won't go away when I edit

[brownnova]

Yeah exceptionally slow for me on every thread…. No idea why.

Same for me regards access, not tried uploading and very slow to "go to first unread post".

[danthecapriman]

Everything’s very slow to load for me too.

Some threads (shite in miniature & eBay thread) I’m getting the bad gateway screen again sometimes.

Also intermittently get this error when trying to upload pics.

Database service for some reason was hammering the crap out of the server. The load averages are through the roof - for context usually sit around the 3 to 5 level on this setup.  Given that service a restart and it looks like its settled down a bit again.

I have absolutely no idea what any of that stuff is or what it means… but I like their use of colour in it!?!🤣

Things seem to have improved now though!👍

Can we 'embed' images in the forum from sites that only allow that way to share images such as mirrorpix?

E.g. https://www.mirrorpix.com/?17422710581083042885

Have you tried "Other Media" -> "Insert image from URL"?

Edit: Looks like they want to run scripts and put in HTML to download images. So no, that can't be done as it would be a massive security risk to allow anyone to run custom scripts on here. They want you to pay for the image rather than hot linking.

Thought so, but appreciate the confirmation, Si.

[danthecapriman]

I keep getting the ‘Bad Gateway’ error thingy again while trying to get on certain threads. Seems to be running slow in general though.

[SEATMad]

Having the same issue with the Tat thread... 

[Dyslexic Viking]

It's very slow for me too.

[SiC]

Are people still finding it slow? Seems fine for me at the moment. 

I really need to get a jiffy on to find some time and move this over to the new setup.
