Major Maintenance Carried Out

[Admin]

Dearest members and visitors of this little, extended, (fountan pen) nut house on the digital prairie,

 

Apologies for rather unexpectedly pressing forward with some major maintenance today, but unfortunately there was no other option in order to prevent the equivalent of a "blue screen of death" for our board installation. As some may have experienced, the first signs were that of a non-functional IP.Mobile skin.

 

Fortunately, we were prepared, and with some hard work by the Admin Team today, all is well again. A few pieces of software aren't active yet, but it took too long to insert all the remaining pieces, while the board in itself is functional again.

 

If you do notice a glitch over the next few days, this may well be because the last few parts of the puzzle are still being added. However, if you do have any questions, do not hesitate to send us an email. We'll answer all in order of receipt. Alternatively, pose a question in the Community Feedback forum.

 

Enjoy!

 

Warm regards,

The FPN Admin Team

I like the new clean look with no pop-ups.

 

Thanks!

[Soot]

A grateful "Thank You!" to the admins.

pop ups? when were there popups?

[InkyWinky]

Admins - thanks for all your great work. Much appreciated!!!

In one of my many former lives I had brushes with death doing just what you're doing now. :bonk:

 

I do not envy you your task.

 

 

Well done!!!!

No 'Thumbs Up'?

Fixed already. That's the small stuff we may walk into over the next few days. We actually did a reinstallation from scratch, which requires tryign to figure out which stuff from th eback-ups has to go back and which not, which sometimes is hard to determine (plusminus 100,000 files in about 5,000 directories, and that excludes the database).

 

In order to prevent a meltdown, we had to be quite rigorous . Sometimes too rigorous it seems .

 

Warm regards, Wim

Thank you!

[Russ]

A sincere Thank You from one who would need many years to reach your level of e-bility.

 

Thanks!

[mholve]

Right on, Wim and the admin team!

 

I've been doing battle with my own server demons today, so I know how frustrating it can be - yet very satisfying when man eventually beats machine.

pop ups? when were there popups?

hahaha exactly what I was going to write.

Thanks for the maintenance. I was able to get some work done today without constantly clicking "View new content"

[kcunvong]

Thank you admins and thank goodness its over. I was starting to have withdrawals.

[Vargouille]

Well, thanks to your changes, which are apparently secret agents whose security level goes so high that even some admins don't have high enough security clearance, I got addicted to Nethack. Yet another stupid death.

[jniforat]

great job, wim + admins!

Not having emails from my watched topics to wake up to, nor having the ability to thoroughly, leisurely spend a LOT of time on this site was a bit of an eye-opener.

A little 'twig' of recognition of my new addiction. I did take the sage advice and write a couple actual letters

Thanks for all your hard work behind the scenes that I know nothing of, but appreciate when I can just 'click and enjoy'.
