Thread: Server upgrades

  1. #1

    Default Server upgrades

    It is once again time for me to do some server upgrades on the site. Due to real life things going on in my life right now, I'm having someone else do the majority of the work. This means I do not know exactly when the change will hit the server, but they should be happening within the next week.

    As a precaution, if you are working on a large post like an AAR, I highly suggest that you compose it in something like Word or note pad on your local computer. You can then copy and paste it into the site post editor. That way, if the changes start happening to the site while you are writing, you will not lose anything because you have a local copy on your computer.

    Thanks,

    Keith

    Hi Keith,

    I noticed the Aerodrome Accessories site is still down hard. Any word on when it will be back up?

    Cheers!

    James,

    The site should be back up now, but the cart/checkout page is still not working I'm still hacking away at that issue.

    Also, I will be putting this site into maintenance mode in the morning and it could be down for a couple of days. The Sails site is back up and you can contact me there if need be.

    Sorry everyone, I think this last batabase error lost the threads/posts from late Oct and all of Nov.

    Please post up any issues (besides missing posts from 24 Oct until today). I'll start working through them again

    Are we reasonably sure the environment is stable, or should we continue backing up everything locally before we post?

    I would say it is semi stable at this point. If I was working on a very long post, I would save a copy locally. I would also not upload a lot of images right now. Adding some to illustrate a post is fine, but don't add 20+ unless you are okay with possibly having to add them all again.

    Thanks for all your efforts keeping the forum going Keith. I have been out of radio range for most of the last five weeks due to working well away from home base so I have not lost anything as far as I know but having no wingsofwar.org available makes one really appreciate how central this site is to the community and the game. Well done Herr Oberst

    Had to replace half a dozen or so links to AAR in the "All the OTT 17-18 Bitter End Campaign Scenarios" thread, some pre dating the October 25th date, as the pages came up in a weird format that I saw when the site was staggering but now all seems to function correctly.

    Thank you for your work on the best forum on the WWW. Might I humbly suggest that maybe if things go pear shaped in the future you use theaerodome.com or the board game geek forum to keep us advised and perhaps ask for help? I am sure many of us would like to assist if we can.

    OK.

    For anyone trying to PM me, please wait until the server is completely fixed. I am not getting any PMs with attachments, nor can I answer anyone, at the moment. My Gold Membership is not working, so I am seriously hobbled.

    This besides my AAR postings for BottosCon 2017 disappearing...

    Might be the security settings?

    If I log in with Chrome, I can't post pictures, and I have the "not secure" 'i'-in-a-circle icon in the address bar............
    If I log in with Edge, everything works fine!

    Thought I'd done something to lose access so am very glad to see the site is back up & operational...strange how empty the computer screen seems without access to the Forum.

    All,
    Notice that I don't have my custom avatar, nor my banner. This is a permissions issue, not my browser.

    I am, at this moment, logged onto a college computer, and it still isn't working.

    I've been tweaking the security settings. Are you guys still getting the warning saying the site is insecure (you might have to logout and back in to see a change)?

    Luckily there is only a little bit of gray below my lip and blends in okay with the blond.

    Today I did have the security warning when logging in.

    Also, I just uploaded the photos for Fall In. I can only load one photo at a time which is a bit frustrating. I hope the new server will be able to handle multiple photo loading.

    I'm waving my arms in the air, like I just don't care...

    It's all back. I've got my avatar and banner back, and it appears that my ability to PM is back, too. Which means that I can probably receive PMs, too.

    Thanks, Keith!

    I placed an order a few days ago but did not get the usual confirmation email so I'm not sure the order actually went through.
