Maintenance downtime - Sunday night

[tobyd]

Another update - 11pm Sunday (the 8th) the site will be briefly down.

Anyone still experiencing any 502s?

You know I was just thinking the other day that I hadn't seen an error message for a while now, and I used to get them regularly.

You must have banged exactly the right spot on the top of the telly, well done!

Now you mention it, no, I've not seen one since the last update, thanks!

[Twiggy]

Me neither,  thank you !

[lesapandre]

[Bobthebeard]

No all gone and used to get them constantly. Thank you very much  

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Got them all the time and had completely forgotten about them.  Which means I haven't seen one in ages.  Nice one.

Looking good here. Good work mate.

You know 502s are a bit like a having a headache. 

At some point you realise it has gone, but I don't really know when.

@LightBulbFun - There is an optimisation feature that tries to pre-process and 'improve' some of the site pages but it doesn't appear to be doing a great job. I'd imagine its just one snippet somewhere that it rewriting in such a way to screw over PHP. It appears to have little impact on overall performance so I've disabled it but over Christmas I might investigate further.

Glad to hear its mostly gone! - thanks for feedback.

This is how a forum should be managed and for those of us who've been here a while, a breath of fresh air compared to how AS used to be.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

interesting, well thanks for sorting it out  

 

but talking about issues

for some reason the thumb nail size of images from before the forum upgrade got set to 100x100 post upgrade or something like that, is that fixable at all?  

(we where initially told they where shrunk just due to the server still sorting itself out (indexing?) just after the upgrade but months on there still shrunk, so I suspect its a case of something got accidently set to default

 

its not the images themselves that got shrunk

just the thumb nails. for example if insert an existing attachment from before the software upgrade its small

but if I open that image full size in its own tab then copy the image URL back into the post it auto embeds full sized, so the actual image is fine, 

 

so I wonder if its a case of just adjusting the default thumbnail size or such

(although post forum software update images are fine...)

Upgrade complete.

Since the Sunday night upgrade I seem to be getting issues with pictures on Tapatalk



It's not all photos but quite a few. Have cleared the cache and logged out and back in etc. Makes no difference.

Still got the unread issue as well. I don't have it on any other forums and didn't on this until last two upgrades.
