Slartibartfast Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 The site will go down for a short period at 15:30 while the server is rebooting for a kernel upgrade. Sorry for the inconvenience. BlankFrank, loserone, tooSavvy and 5 others 8
loserone Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 #thanklesstask Hope you two manage to get the back end sorted, 502s aside this site is holding up well and is more complex than it has been previously. P.s. can we get rid of the LOGON PROBLEMS banner now? Anyone who was going to read it will have done.
Slartibartfast Posted October 24, 2019 Author Posted October 24, 2019 Done Edit: the announcement is gone, I mean chaseracer, loserone and HarmonicCheeseburger 3
loserone Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Cool, I can stop clicking on it five times a day by mistake. Thankyou! Just need to get the "open first unread post" link to be the default for the topic header rather than just the tiny button next to the username which moves at the last minute when the page redraws making me click on the username of the last poster instead now Aston Martin 1

I'll leave that task to New Me to take on, should it be deemed to be a good idea. The Moog and loserone 2
Slartibartfast Posted October 24, 2019 Author Posted October 24, 2019 Done. The site will be a bit sluggish for a while post reboot, but it should settle down. Thanks for your patience, all. egg, RayMK, face and 5 others 2 6

Slartibartfast Posted October 24, 2019 Author Posted October 24, 2019 Are you standing down SBF?Yeah, I just don't have the time to devote to the site any more and so I thought it would be best to hand over to someone who does. There will be an announcement soon I guess. djim and egg 2
chaseracer Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Might as well do that now... Wolf: thank you for all your efforts, without which the huge (and very necessary!) site update would not have happened in the planned and professional way that it did. Shiters, please welcome @tobydto the Tech Basement. BlankFrank, davehedgehog31, scdan4 and 6 others 9
Dick Cheeseburger Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Kudos to SBF for his hard work on here over the last couple of years. ? paulplom, BlankFrank, puddlethumper and 7 others 10
vulgalour Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 If it helps any, since the new site began I've not really ever had any issues, so the IT bods must be doing a reasonable job for the most part. Either that or I've just been lucky, but I'm choosing to go with the former. Ta! egg 1
egg Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Thanks for all the time you have put in SBF. Much obliged.

michael t Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Thanks for the hard work and effort put in by all the Tecchies to keep this place going!
Timewaster Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Thanks for your efforts StaryFartBlast. 502's aside, it's running nicely of late.

beko1987 Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Your doing better than the external company developing our site at work. 5 hours for a new deploy... We do our internal systems in 7 minutes! Then when it's up its nothing like UAT and every release gets about 7 bugs because their codebase isnt the same...
LightBulbFun Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Thank you @Slartibartfast for all the tech support you have provided for the forum! (now @tobyd is there any chance you could implement a plain text, text editor please? this rich text one is a PITA at times!) luckily for the past month or 2 the 502s have been pretty much non existent for me beko1987 1
face Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 I get the 502 around 10% of the time I change pages. Mobile or desktop. Bit of a PITA, but not the end of the world.

Rovorsche Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 Just bumping this thread up.... The 502 "Your Flares are a bit cloudy mate..." seems to have all but vanished so whoever has been tweaking the Flux Capacitor seems to have it humming nicely now. Take a screen grab of any settings you have changed and give yourself a pat on the back. Then leave it alone

Rovorsche Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 Hadnt noticed that one, just the 502 thing.
