FYI. I keep getting logged out even though I check to remember me. Must not be very memorable ;).

 

Thank for all the hard work!

That is a deliberate action from our side, to make sure that no one stays logged in while we are making backups pf the database.

 

The chance of corrupting a database is a lot smaller that way, and considering the amount of time it takes to fix a corrupted database, or some kind of rollback to an older backup, I can assure you that it only is a minor inconvenience.

In one particular case it took about a month to get back online again, in other cases between one and two weeks, so we prefer to minimize the risks. Hope you don't mind too much.

 

Warm regards, WIm

Oh I remember all too well when the site was down a few years ago, due to that DDOS attack....

That was what, 10 years ago? We were still with a different hosting provider back then. It took me a week to convince them we had a problem ....

When it happened, Pharmacist (? the guy in IIRC Belgium who was the one first playing around with IG inks in other colors) emailed to see if I knew what was going on.

He hasn't been on in a long time.  I hope he's okay.

I have encountered an issue that seems to coincide with the upgrade.   It seems that the "ignore user" feature has stopped working and is no longer filtering out the undesirable individuals from my feed.

 

I would be happy to provide examples to the admins privately, if needed.

Could you try again please?

 

I noticed a setting somehow changed, indeed, it appears to have a new default.

 

I reset it, so should be fixed now.

OK. I just went through all member groups, to make sure that all was set up correctly, and cleared caches thereafter.

I only checked the Gold Member group before.

 

You may have to clear your browser cache, history etc. as well, and check again, if you don't mind too much.

 

If it still doesn't work as expected, it means the new version introduced a bug.

 

HTH, warm regards, Wim

That's great, thank you!

 

Looks like it required the caches to be cleared as well.

The ignore feature never stopped working for me over the past month in spite of the software upgrade.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
