thewoodwhisperer Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 During a routine upgrade yesterday, we had a near catastrophic disaster on the site. Thankfully, we are now restored and the upgrades are in process. You should see some big changes coming soon. I should add that the restoration process seems to have taken us back a few days, so we probably lost some posts. Very sorry about that. All I can say is it could have been much worse! Its good to be back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechwood Chip Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Been there, done that, had the panic attack. Breathing into a paper bag is the usual treatment for a panic attack, by the way. Glad you were able to recover everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davestanton Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hahaha, it actually made me get off the computer and make some things instead. Good to hear it is all fine in TWW land and looking forward to the new stuff you tell us is on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Wow the forum looks way different. I think I like it so far at least I'm able to scoll through pics again. What does everyone else think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoodwhisperer Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Most things should be very familiar. Its the same system with some nice little upgrades and updating. So most of what I see are improvements....so far. I'm sure we'll uncover odd little bugs here and there but let's bring them up in this thread so we can figure them out together.

rmac Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I'm sure we'll uncover odd little bugs here and there but let's bring them up in this thread so we can figure them out together. Okay. Just a moment ago I tried to edit one of my own posts. The editor seemed to work fine, but when I was done making changes, the "Save Changes" button did nothing. So then I tried "Cancel". The page scrolled to the top of the topic, but when I scrolled down to see my message, the editor was still visible and accepting input. So then I decided to delete the message altogether and repost it with my changes. After the confirmation dialog (for the delete), I got this message: [#103119.5] You do not have permission to carry out that function. So there you go! For the record, I'm running Firefox 5.0 under Windows XP. I haven't tried any of this in any other browser. -- Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sac Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I am finding that some of the links are not working.. When I try to go to my profile page by clicking my name up top, the link does not work unless I open it in a new tab. Also I cant get to the topic moderation tools...

thewoodwhisperer Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I am also having these issues. I've submitted support requests for both things. We'll see what happens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anson Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I feel for you Marc. As an admin for a very large fossil forum I am going through the same process at the moment. Had errors updating the database and now everything has crashed. *sigh* Why do I bother with upgrades. Great Job on the forum by the way. Nice and clean no unneeded extra's. Could use a favicon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechwood Chip Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 It looks like my avatar got stretched sideways and made blurry. My profile pic is fine, though. Is it using my gravatar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotthadkins Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Just wanted to add that the "use mobile" link doesn't seem to work unless you have made a change to how the mobile version looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jab73180 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 i am having the mobile bugs too. the mobile version doesnt seem to work and if i use the full site and try to check new content, it marks it as read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaidensGator Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Could use a favicon though. I have a favicon for this site on my browser, I put them across my bookmark bar so one click and I'm at all my favorite sites. However it doesn't show up on my machine at work. Funny because I'm running the latest Firefox on both computers. I haven't figured that one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoodwhisperer Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I'm actually addressing lots of little bugs on the back end. So that could very well resolve some issues. I would also recommend that everyone clear their cache asap. You might be caching some things from the old site and that could affect behavior.

mattvan Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Is this why you took away my password and access to the system again? I thought the gift basket of assorted meats and cheeses would make up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoodwhisperer Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I do like meat and cheese! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
