Linda Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Honestly, if a "Hey, forums are down for a bit today while we upgrade," message is that big of an inconvenience for anyone, they should probably take a long look at their priorities. It isn't just that it might lead to some downtime during the upgrade (for forum, wiki and the main site all at once), it could also lead to more problems in the following days. New software is always a bit of a risk and the next version is only just now out of beta. Edited April 17, 2015 by Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninerings Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 sooooo there is no way for me to go to the most recent posts that I haven't read in a thread anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 sooooo there is no way for me to go to the most recent posts that I haven't read in a thread anymore?Yes, once you have read through that thread again you can click the little blue button at the side to hop back to your last read post. Although, it only recalls which post you read last on whichever device you read them on, and even then sometimes resets (I assume because search is enabled briefly again or something) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Now the search and profiles are back, I lost my notifications for quotes :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avlonnic Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I am still having trouble with the quote function. When I quote someone, the quote shows up in the dialogue box as code and then only permits me to add my comments within that user's quote box. So I cannot format my comments at all. Is there something I can do to see a separate area for my own comments (which would be format-able?) Many thanks for all you do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avlonnic Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Has any consideration been given to breaking out the TV section so that its high volume does not impact the entire site? Just wondering. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 We had plans to use the cloud to be able to scale up to load, but it has not yet happened for various reasons. If we can't get that worked out next year, I think we may go and just get a third server. That should be sufficient to our needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Ran, is the search function likely to be disabled again tonight with the episode airing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Yes, highly likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon's Real Mother Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) I tried to post a topic for the first time. It was supposed to be in the ASOIAF-forum but when I had posted it I was sent to the GoT-forum. And since I am waiting for a moderator to approve my post I don't know if it was posted the wrong place which would be a shame, because I don't want to give spoilers to people who are watching the show but haven't read the books... Can someone help me? Edited April 19, 2015 by Jon's Real Mother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferocious Veldt Roarer Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Yay, the search is back for today.Is there any sort of a schedule, when it's on or off? Any way to predict it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 It's all load-based generally. We had it on for an extended time this week, but we seem to have managed to get some minor tweaks in that have improved stability. From my experience, it will probably be off later this evening and through Monday, perhaps through Tuesday. Load is highest then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HexMachina Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I'm getting a banner add for PayPal across the bottom of the screen (full site, accessed on tablet though). And also, bizarrely, a tab with the options "follow" and "share". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) The follow and share are something new we're trying on mobile to increase awareness of the wiki, and this means it'll show up on mobile devices looking at the other parts of Westeros (like the forum). :) It can mostly be minimized if you push the arrow on the right... Re: Paypal, was it a banner that stuck to the bottom or moved as you scrolled? I think some ad units we occasionally get served are of that variety. Re: notifications, I've put in another support request. Edited April 22, 2015 by Ran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon's Queen Consort Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 And also, bizarrely, a tab with the options "follow" and "share". Same here but only when I am from the phone and not in the PC. Now the search and profiles are back, I lost my notifications for quotes :lol: Also this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I think all we can do is establish that IPB's notification system is totally busted. It also seems to have a large part in causing the remaining downtime/lockup issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
