Board Change Announcements

ah! Just wait until Sat night/Sun morning...

So was the board down pretty much all day today or was it just me?

The former. Phew! Shaking off my cold turkey withdrawal symptoms now.

Server errors the past couple days, which resulted in a database error today. Database has been fixed, but I can't promise that the server issues are over yet.

Time to find a new server!

Well, I'm just glad it wasn't only me.

So, it's probably something very technical but, what kind of errors are these? And as Chris is asking, is it likely to change servers?

Must've been all those sock accounts I created to feed the n00b beast.

I need a few boardies (5 to 10 ideally) who could help me test some stuff out soon. Please PM me if you're interested.

EDIT: Looks like I'm all set on help. Thanks!

Well I love the new header design!

Does anyone have any experience working in a Linux server environment? I need some help in getting something set up.

Sorry about that downtime folks. I borked something, but I was able to mostly fix it.

Ah James, sincere thanks for the efforts.

And an extra pint and tip of the hate for you for adding a delightful new word into my lexicon. (I have yet to unbork anything in my life, but I am glad to know it is in the very least conceptually possible.)

A tip of the hate...

Bork, bork, bork!

Yip. As I said, I continually just move from bork to bork.

Counterpoint:

Wow, thanks James! Good work boss.

James, I have borked a few times myself. I bet you felt a little like this:

Hey James, in that process, did it change the way we get email notifications? It's showing up a bit different, or was that your fix? If so... carry on.

Yeah it messed up notifications a bit, fixing that as well.

Not an important fix, just curious. You do enough for these boards, that could totally wait

I think most everything is back to normal. Please let me know if you see anything that's acting different than it used to.

Hey! I just noticed the "magic toy button" is missing (the one that you press and the Genie magically makes it appear on your desk) ! Did you by chance Bork that out by mistake (love that word!)
Thank you for all of your hard work so that we nerds can have fun!

It's still there, just a little harder to find.

Big things on the horizon, hopefully with less borking in the interim.

Oh? What am I, chopped liver?

Testing hasn't happened yet! I still have my list of testers (you included), and I'm hoping to have stuff to check out by this weekend.

AHA!!! Now I remember!
Can you please program in this alert when you Bork things up again?

BORK ALERT!
