server futzing today

[sroylance]

I have some cleanup to do after the cutover last weekend. There will be some brief outages and possibly some comments lost due to database fiddling.

/me patiently pauses and prepares for posse of post preservation preachers, pontificators and proselytizers to pitilessly pounce on this perilous palaver predicament, parallelling Pavlovian protestations pertaining to prior post poofing performed personally.

pshaw

I really don't know if it is just an attack of almost everyone or not.

OTOH, good job Steve for finally fixing the forum left column?

if somebody fixed it, it would have been Cyril, not me.

Nevertheless, thank you to the whole team.

The view change button for ja.zz is still bjorked in Opera 9.20. Click to change it and it shows up on a completely different part of the screen

I use Opera 9.23 for Windows Vista. I don't seem to have the same problem you do.

[Hance]

I upgraded to opera 9.23 and it still does it. It has to be a problem related to opera because it does it with Opera 9.23 under Windows XP and Ubuntu.

[thecoldanddarkone]

I am installing Opera on my ubuntu vm right now. (I dislike firefox).

Dang it, roylance, your forum is eating some posts.

There _was_ an announcement

If you're going to be eating posts, why not just shut down the forum for a bit while you make your changes instead. Announcement or no, premeditated eating of posts isn't a good thing.

[sroylance]

OK, that's all done. There were a couple periods during which comments would have been lost, approx 2:15-2:30 and 3:30-3:45.

Sorry for any inconvenience. Except for vrock, I made sure to destroy as many of his posts as possible.

[Flying Fox]

I think there's only one dude that wants his posts to be eaten and head into the oblivion, but it's not Vrock.

Edit: oops didn't make sense the first time.

In retrospect, it is an honor to be chosen to feed the Forum Gods *bows*.

And hey, I got too many stinkin' posts anyway. Demote me to Gerbil In Training and let me start all over again!

Please don't, in a matter of days he will make my post count feel puny again.

The problems seems to be gone in the new Opera 9.5 alpha version

[Usacomp2k3]

For some reason on my computer here at work, the A/A button isn't working. It works fine in IE, but not FF (2.0.0.6). I'm going to try clearing session/cookies and restarting FF.

UPDATE: ok, it seems to be working fine now. Weird *shrug*
