Website Maintenance Sunday April 30th

Post by Impulse »

Hello Everyone,

Sometime on Sunday afternoon (North Amercian time zones), I will be taking the forum offline for maintenance. We are transferring the forum to the same machine as our game servers. This should alleviate unusual connection errors and the general crap that my web host has been dishing out over the past years.

The maintenance could last all night but shouldn't take more than 8 or so hours of downtime.

See you on the other side :ugeek:

The site is back online at the new server :)

Everything appears to be working properly but please let me know if you find any additional errors. I hope this will fix all the database errors we've been experiencing.

SIte won't work for me after maintenance. It says DNS lookup failed for me now. But i reported it to my ISP's tech support and they will contact me back to resolve it! It works great ATM using proxy.

It should start working correctly within a day or two at most. Some DNS servers are much slower than others to update. The verizon DNS I'm using has been slow to update as well. If it continues to be a problem we'll look into it.

Sorry about that. As brourke228 said, certain isp's DNS are really slow to update. I imagine its working by now though.

Nah don't worry about that, it's fine on your end. This issue is related to an earlier code update. We implemented a css fix to place the avatar back inside the borders but it may still extend a bit. It looks fine on mobile and on your profile page though.
