For those who check the forums more often than the main page, this is a reminder that TWG will be down for a short while (hopefully an hour or less) tomorrow, March 5.
-
have a rough time as to when this will be starting?
-
So does that mean the poll will be returning...?
-
Any time estimate, as to save me from wondering and lack of TWG shudders?
-
Morningish. Probably. If I'm not busy. The poll may indeed be returning, if Fell even wants to do it anymore.
-
Goodies! I'm at school in the morning
-
Oh man, that does say "Morningish" doesn't it? I thought it said Mormonish or something like that.
-
Well, he could have been referring to Mormon Standard Time. But he wasn't.
-
If we get poll functionality back, we'll definitely be getting the poll back.
-
Geez you guys actually look at the time? And I thought I was obsessive compulsive...
-
As an interesting side note, I tried to get on via FTP today so that I could change the 'in the corner' item, and instead of the TWG, I found a bunch of my short stories. (The ones I had previously had Tage upload to his server for safe keeping.) None of my novels were there, only the short stories.
Anyway, that was amusing. However, it does make it a little bit difficult for me to alter the forum....
-
the ISP address changed EUOL so you'll need to get all the new info. You're still logging into the old server.
-
Aw, that makes me sad. I can't post my desktop.
-
you can still log in useing the filemanager in the admin section. Same user/password as your forum login. You can then upload through that.
Anyway if you didn't see my other post, call me if you want to go out and eat.
-
I've got to go teach at 3:00, and I've still got a couple of papers to grade...hum, when were you thinking of going?
-
are you whining?
-
well anytime. If you'd rather go tonight or sometime tomorrow that's cool. Just feel like getting out of the aparment today.
-
Rob's party is tonight. Figured I'd go to that. Hum. Let me see if I can get my papers done by 1:00.
-
ahh thought that was wensday for somereason. Ya if you can get them done by 1 let me know.
-
uhm.... Tage. The poll still has problems. IT's let me vote 3 times. And I've no doubt it'll let me vote more if I desire.
-
dosen't do that for me, I can only vote once. Probaly has something to do with how your works server assigns ISPs
-
I'm not going to make it, Sprig. I still have two papers to grade. So, if you want to go out to eat, we'll have to do it tomorrow. I think Micah wants to game in the morning, though.
-
well I wish he'd (micah) would make up his mind. Talked to him yeasterday and he wasn't planning on gaming this week.
-
all I know is that if I go to it, go to a different page, then come back, it lets me vote again. interestingly, if I vote, then hit the back arrow, it shows it again too. That to me, says soemthing with caching.
-
then it's a problem with your PC.
-
maybe, but I thought it recorded the IP address so that you couldn't vote again. That's a server response. This means that both my cache AND that the IP address is changing within a page load or two. I don't buy that.
-
If you talked to him yesterday, then that's probably right. I haven't talked to him about it in a few days.
-
I'll look at the poll. I stopped it from logging IPs a while before it got shut down, so that people in the same household could all vote. We might have to go back to that, though.
And EUOL, your user directory changed. I'll change it back in a bit.
-
No worries. Though it won't let me into the file manager either....
-
also Tage I cannot check my TWG e-mail account anymore.
-
Well, that was easy.
-
yay!
I noticed when it was down, but good on ya.
-
Why is it 7:30 pm for SE's post?
-
I think the clock got screwed up. My page says it's 6:07pm, when it's acutally 11:07 AM!
-
Tage's aware of the time problem
The default time is GMT, and he forgot to change it.
-
wow only a few days and allready massive problems. Like not being able to connect to the site, and the DB going down. Hope that's Tage's doing.
-
Yeah, I'm still seeing the mySQL error stuff too.
-
Wow, what happened to the front page? All types of errors are coming up on it. How come it has problems while the forums are fine?
-
The forums are YaBB Gold 1.1, which don't use the SQL database (at least, the 4 I've installed never did). The front page and the articles and all the rest of the content are stored in an SQL database. Something happened with that.
-
Somehow the user db for mysql was wiped out. That really worries me. Either someone got access to it, or there are big issues with mysql on this server type. I can only wait and see if it happens again.
-
*Rolling thunder accompanies a sense of impending doom.*
-
my e-mail is acting up again Tage. I cannot send or recieve things. I get a server error saying the connection was refused.
-
Well I'll have to look at what you're doing sometime, unless you can give me more specific information. Sounds like it's just not letting you log in.
-
I'll look at the poll. I stopped it from logging IPs a while before it got shut down, so that people in the same household could all vote. We might have to go back to that, though.
When I log in from different terminals on campus, I'm tempted to vote each time to skew the results. But I figure that's just silly, so I don't.
