    FORUM MAINTENANCE: Just in case people haven't spotted it...

    http://forums.hexus.net/hexus-sugges...-tomorrow.html

    I'm just doing a test run of the scripts I need, then I'll be closing the forum so that I can do the final bits of work without any external influences on the database.

    Prepare to be underwhelmed as nothing of note changes...

    Forum closed?

    Noooooooooooo.


    I'll have to go and do some work. I thought you were a mate, Steve? How could you do this to me?




    Hold on a min ..... got it. I need to pop down the shops. So that's all right. You do your thing. Just be finished when I get back. I'm allergic to work.

    Yay, it's back!
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    OK, welcome back everyone!

    Almost did it in the 30 minutes I said it would take

    Ran into some dupe key issues arising from UTF8 conversion that my query didn't manage to filter out so I had to hand fix them, hence the five minute delay.

    Things seem in good shape. Can people have a look around and see if anything has broken please?

    Ta.

    I need to rebuild some indexes, particularly the search index, so that may behave a bit unusually while I do it.

    Hmm I notice that there are rogue ? instead of ' in the side news items (Analysis: E-reader market reaches moment of truth and News: Motorola launches the Charm exclusively for T-Mobile USA).

    Cheers, yeah spotted that one - the code for that still assumes it needs to do some character conversions, so once I know everything else is OK I'll see what I can do about that.

    edit: Fixed that now... woooo!

    Re: FORUM MAINTENANCE: Just in case people haven't spotted it...

    Yeah that broked before I did the upgrade, I'm rebuliding various things in the backend, after which I shall see what's wrong. Is anyone else's profile page broken?

    Re: FORUM MAINTENANCE: Just in case people haven't spotted it...

    You did forum upgrades? I totally missed that.

    I did notice a couple of days ago that there's now a "remove your thanks" link that appears when I've thanked someone (a rare occurence, since I'm a grumpy old git) - new feature?

    Re: FORUM MAINTENANCE: Just in case people haven't spotted it...

    Yeah, I did it, pretty swiftly. Just had another quick bout of downtime due to a configuration error - not directly related to the upgrades I just though which is good.

    The thanks thing was enabled a couple of days ago when I upgraded the plugin and checked over its settings

    Good news everyone! Moby's profile is back.

    If there are any other profile issues please report them to me!

    Violence and Lubrication is the solution to fixing everything, if it still doesn't work, you need more lubrication.
