noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Hahahahahaha. Ditto.

 

it's all good, a downtime to upgrade is a good thing versus downtime because it sucks lol

Indeed. It's been an absolute pleasure not having to deal with outages and scurrying around to get the dang thing back up.

 

Did we just lose a bunch of posts that were made after a certain time yesterday? I can link specific threads if that's helpful.

 

Yup they're working on it.

 

Morning, gents...

I had an on-screen announcement when I logged on this morning that the site was 'going dark' for database maintenance. Looked exactly like yesterday's announcement.

Plus, I have a PM notification on my phone from 21:35 yesterday, but the PM isn't in my inbox.

Neither creates problems on my end...just thought you might need the info in case you're still working thru the database issues.


ETA: Apologies for the extra info. Chad posted above while I was typing.

 

Ironically, there was a thread asking if anyone else had problem with the site over the last day or so and it's gone. That's right, erase all evidence of a problem. What problem?

BTW, I too have noticed lost entries. And then there was that picture issue.

 

It's been a long night for those guys, and they're still working on it.

 

Neo and the server folks worked on the issue all night. It was decided that the best way to solve the issue with minimal impact on the members was to restore the site to the backup that was created just before the update. The good news is that everything should be up and working (obviously let us know if not). The bad news is that everything that was posted after 2pm yesterday is gone.

We hate this as much as you guys do (if not more) but unfortunately its the nature of computers to throw you a curve ball once in a while.

Crap - I had an epiphany and posted the solution to all the world's problems last night and now I can't remember it.

You also PM'ed me and said you'd trade me that case of Fed bulk .22 for my NIB Hi Point.

Should of made a backup on an etch a sketch.

 

i starting having dt's when i couldn't log in this morning.

 

Yea - that was tough. I woke up at 4 and rolled over to my tablet to see what was new and got the whole "the webpage you are looking for is either down for maintenance or has moved to a new address".

 

gotta love computers. vb is basically changing their entire platform, so we wanted to get some testing done offline way ahead of being forced to by the software gods.

Actually, I'm not complaining. As a matter of fact, I find this disruption relatively benign compared to the previous site. We seem to be back up solid, sans some missing post.

Good work and thanks to all that worked hard through the night. That used to be the nature of my work, trying to get infrastructure up again before a 7AM contracted availability time.

 

Morning everyone. Yesterday pretty much sucked. As sore posted we did end up rolling back the changes due to the images issue. After several hours of trying to correct it, we thought this was the best action.

The bad part is that any post after about 1:30 yesterday is gone. So if you listed an item for sale etc, please repost it.

I'm sorry it didn't end up as smooth as it seemed it was going at first. But, from all indications we are back to normal and no errors in the logs.

Let me know if you run into anything that isn't working. We'll check it out.

Thanks and my apologies again.

 

Yeah. You know you're to "connected" when you post a update to a reloading thread with a bunch of pics. See all the posts go away, and immediately go upstairs and check to make sure you actually reloaded the stuff you posted about...

I swear I saw that black cat walk by...

 

deja vu..lol

 

By my calculations...at $15/year club membership, and outage time of ~ 1/2 day....y'all owe me $0.0205.

A check is fine.

Just my two cents.

 

FYI, it also deleted my 'sent mail' during that time frame. Sure you know that, but thought I'd mention it anyways.

 

yeah, everything that happened on the site went poof.

 

all I could think of is the little girl from Poltergeist.... Theyre baaack...
